Globalization
Advances in communications technology and global travel have changed the way business is done all over the globe. As businesses expand, the need to have a defined way for effective management and execution becomes critical. Additionally each country region has different laws, cultures and modes of business operations. Competitors on opposite sides of the globe can find themselves with distinct advantages or weaknesses stemming from their local geography, legal climate, national labor pool and a host of other factors, adding layers of complexity to competitive strategies. We bring the expertise and connections from across the globe to help you meet your objectives.
In Conclusion
The pace of globalization takes the struggle for competitiveness to a new level, and that has deep implications for strategic management. Strategic plans must include global considerations while remaining focused on the competitive climate of the local economy. For example, long-term financial plans must take the economic conditions of foreign nations into account, since economic troubles on one side of the world can affect a company’s local business. Similarly, refiners of raw materials must consider the price and quality of goods imported from outside of their home country, even when dealing solely with domestic customers.
