About the Book

The current transformation of isolated state-dominated economies into market-driven globally integrated economies is creating business challenges and opportunities around the globe. Over the last ten years, these authors have studied over one hundred global corporations through a variety of research methods and here distill their findings into four essential goals that executives must achieve in order to transform a company into a global success: Identify and pursue opportunities in key markets. Convert global presence into global competitive advantage. Cultivate a global mindset in order to recognize and exploit good ideas wherever they arise. And constantly reinvent the global game by creating value for customers. Case studies involving Yahoo!, Wal-Mart, and other global players show how the authors' findings can be applied in real-world situations.

Review :
In this rousing call to arms, the authors--business school professors at Dartmouth and the University of Maryland, respectively--lay out three persuasive reasons why corporations need to increase their global presence. First, global opportunities and threats can appear anywhere, so it's best to be firmly entrenched worldwide; second, simply having a "foreign" office doesn't count as a true global presence; and third, success around the globe means hiring the most talented people available to fule what the authors call your "knowledge engine." (Sept.) (Publishers Weekly, August 6, 2001) "Rich with stories, lessons and concepts, The Quest for Global Dominance is a blueprint for companies that wish to keep pace with the advance of globalisation today..." (Business Monthly, September 2001) "...this is a very practical and highly readable book." (Economic Outlook & Business Review, November 2001)
