Executive Summaries | Security Issues | Executive Checklist | Global Competence

Globalization is not merely engaging customers in new countries, entering new markets, establishing new locations, connecting electronically, and establishing strategic sourcing. Managing globally requires using four mega-processes that allow an executive to cut through much of the uncertainty. Plus, a company entering the global market must deal with issues such as:

Multiplicity—different models for organizing and conducting business driven by cultures, customers, competitors, and more.

Interdependence—issues such as discrete or sequential ordering, resources, capital, and information.

Ambiguity—obscured meanings that must be made clear when crisp answers are required.

Other influences—aspects that should drastically affect your decisions even when you appear to be winning.

This Summary will help you find your way through the globalization maze and ease your company's entry into the global marketpla
