Global Strategy
2009, Wiley, ISBN 9 781405 136105
Stephen Tallman, University of Richmond
Business strategy as the 21st Century dawns is global strategy. As culture, politics, employment and other aspects of non-business life also become more global, the global strategies of multinational enterprises naturally are of great concern to business, but are of equal interest to governments, NGOs, and consumers.
Global Strategy provides the basic knowledge needed to understand the forces driving international and global strategies, the character of such strategies, and the actions firms take to survive and prosper in the global economy. This timely volume focuses on organizational capabilities, capability-building and knowledge strategies in global multi-business firms.
Designed for use by executive MBAs and full-time graduate courses, Global Strategy:
· Highlights the distinction between input and leveraging in terms of capabilities
· includes essential reading, student questions, summaries, case examples, and 'key terms'
· Emphasizes organizational competences and provides a direct bridge to the strategy frameworks and concepts essential to MBA and Executive Education programs
· Reviews additional opportunities for making performance gains in the international
environment and the additional complexity involved in managing in a global – rather than domestic –environment
