Designed to Win: Strategies for Building a Thriving Global Business
The most successful business organizations are those that combine stability, speed and maneuverability. These companies are uniquely equipped to navigate the complexities of global supply chains, an array of often baffling cultural differences, complex international regulations, geopolitical uncertainty, and the vagaries of the capital markets. But these companies are only as good as the officers who command them-and the most successful leaders are those best able to manage and optimize their global risk. They possess a singular skill set that includes, among other things, a talent for international diplomacy.
Co-authored by two global business advisors from the Big Four professional services organization KPMG, Designed to Win takes you inside the most successful transnational businesses to show how they address the challenges of global competition. Drawing upon their experience as senior partners with KPMG LLP (U.S.), Hiroaki Yoshihara and Mary Pat McCarthy define the seven fundamental characteristics of enduring global businesses. And, with the help of extensive case studies and interviews with executives at BMW, Caterpillar, Intel, Matsushita, Toyota and other international industry leaders, they describe global-business best practices in a range of key areas.
