The Changing Face of Globalization
As nations cope with natural disasters, financial uncertainty, political upheavals, and social unrest, it is time to examine and assess the impact on the Globalization of Business. Who are the winners and losers in this unstable era? What is the role of technology and social media? How can we prepare business leaders for the challenges of this new environment?
Multinational corporations span political, industrial and geographical borders. Managers in the international arena need to blend knowledge of various functional areas, skills and experience to navigate through complex innovative and highly competitive environment.
