Rezensionen

"Book's ten brief chapters provide an excellent and expansive introduction, resource guide, and practical approach to the impact that globalization will have on an institution's organizational leadership and managerial expertise as well as a unique insight and clarity into the prerequisites, both tangible and intangible, of a successful global expansion. ... any organization interested in global marketing, this book is an important reference to managing the complexities of a successful integrated global presence. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (S. R. Kahn, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)

Robert Salomon introduces the reader to concepts such as 'Institutional Distance' in order to highlight the complexities and concern points that managers should contemplate before committing to global expansion projects. In the process, Robert puts considerable 'Intellectual Distance' between himself and so many other books that tend to oversimplify globalization.

This unique strength of the book also makes it a must read for corporate leaders charged with designing and managing a firm's global strategy.' -Anil K. Gupta, Michael Dingman Chair in Strategy and Globalization, Smith School of Business, The University of Maryland, and Co-author, The Quest for Global Dominance and Getting China and India Right.

'A must read for anyone contemplating cross-border transactions. Robert Salomon has highlighted the myriad of pitfalls that CEOs forget in their eagerness to expand their markets around the world. Large and small corporations become oblivious to the real risks of globalization. Understanding the mistakes made by these corporations is sobering...and avoidable. This book is a checklist on how to avoid those pitfalls and properly evaluate risk.' -Stanley P. Gold, Chairman, Shamrock Holdings, Inc.

'Global Vision is a must read manual for any company considering international expansion. I wish that I had read it long ago, as it would have helped our company avoid many of the costly mistakes that we experienced along the way.' -Leonard S. Marcovitch, President and CEO, White Wave Sportswear, Inc., and Harvard MBA

'It's one of the best kept secrets of multinationals - and one of the most distressing realities that they face each day - but most companies are unable to drive profits out of globalization. In his eye-opening book, Robert Salomon convincingly and compellingly reveals the serious shortcomings of globalization and what companies need to do to overcome them. All business executives should take note.' -Jeffrey Rothfeder, veteran business journalist and Author of Driving Honda: Inside the World's Most Innovative Car Company
