Leading Teams for Strategic Results

êCreating Value through

Global Strategy

Corporations that define their global strategy by chasing the most current business trends are destined to fail. The most successful companies understand their pasts. They know how things have been done historically in their organizations and they question whether those strategies – or new ones – are relevant in today’s marketplace. The global managers responsible for these successful entities understand their corporation’s long-held values, the values it espouses, and they apply that knowledge to future strategic ventures.

As you analyze a series of global case studies and interact with the world’s leading global management faculty, you will improve your understanding of global firms, their strategies and their struggles.

Learn how to:

• Confront strategic implementation challenges in your own organization, using techniques gleaned from the best practices of multinational corporations (MNC)

• Formulate your company’s strategic global plan, based on knowledge of the challenges facing MNCs in emerg-ing markets such as China and India

• Implement global strategies that apply to individuals, functional areas, and business units within your organization

• Manage and plan for both the long and short term
