The Book
The Quest for Global Dominance is the world's most respected guide to how
a company can design, implement, and reassess its global strategy. With each passing
day, every industry is becoming a global industry and every business a knowledge
business. For most medium to large companies, globalization is no longer a discretionary
option, but a strategic imperative. Based on our 20+ years of research into and/or
consulting work for over 200 corporations (including Caterpillar, IBM, Infosys,
Marriott, Microsoft, Nokia, Procter & Gamble, and Wal-Mart), we address some of
the most critical questions pertaining to global strategy:
- Should we go global? Why or why not?
- How can we identify the strategic markets for our company? How should we design
an entry strategy for them, especially if we face high entry barriers?
- Why has Wal-Mart succeeded brilliantly in Mexico and China but failed miserably
in Germany and South Korea? What lessons could we derive from their experience?
- How do we transform global presence into global competitive advantage?
- How can we cultivate a global mindset - as individuals and as an organization?
- What pathologies prevent companies from excelling at knowledge sharing across their
subunits? What can we do to reduce or eliminate the risk of these pathologies in
our company?
- How should we design, structure, and manage effective cross-border business teams?
- What are the promises and pitfalls that a young venture faces in going global early?
- What does the rise of China and India mean for the global economic landscape and
for the strategy of my company?
Cutting-edge research. Fresh examples. Highly practical. We hope that you
will enjoy reading the book and benefit from it.
