Riassunto

The third title from Executive Development from IMD is devoted to Accelerating International Growth, one of today's most crucial business challenges. It provides the knowledge and the tools needed to speed up the development process and reach a stronger global position efficiently and quickly, and is firmly focused on answering the real questions facing leading companies as they undertake expansion in the field. Accelerating International Growth focuses on the strategic, organizational and human aspects of international growth.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

International growth is one of the most important challenges facing companies today. For companies of all sizes and in almost all industries, building a strong international position isn't an option - it's a necessity.

Accelerating International Growth is designed to help you - the practising manager - navigate your company's international growth. It takes a practical and direct approach to identifying challenges and recommending action.

Based on a successful executive programme at IMD, Accelerating International Growth brings together four experts in international management: Philip Rosenzweig, Xavier Gilbert, Thomas Malnight and Vladimir Pucik. Together, they explain five capabilities your company needs for successful international growth:

• Global strategic thinking: a process we call 'grasping the globe'
• Effective international partnerships: managing alliances and acquisitions
• Rapid staffing: expatriation and localization
• Global learning: using the world as your classroom
• Organizational adaptation: changing organizational forms

Whether your company is a small or mid-size firm in the early stages of international growth, or whether you manage an established global company, Accelerating International Growth offers practical, clear and relevant ideas for immediate application.
