Review
A definitive guide to managing an organisation competing in the global marketplace, based on the authors' research in a range of companies including Procter & Gamble, Unilever, General Electric, Philips, Matsushita, ITT, Ericsson and NEC. In this updated edition, a new section charts how several companies have implemented the concepts described in the original book and there are additional examples of companies using transnational models. There are also new frameworks developed by the authors in their subsequent work with companies building the kind of capabilities described in the book. 'Bartlett and Ghoshal make an important and highly practical contribution in a book that represents the leading edge of thinking on this important subject.' (Kirkus UK)
