The Borderless World, rev ed: Power and Strategy in the Interlinked Economy – The Groundbreaking Bestseller for Managers Competing in Global Markets

by Kenichi Ohmae

Since 1990, when it was first published, The Borderless World has changed the way managers view the world and their businesses, and how they invent, marker, and compete in our new globally interlinked economy. Kenichi Ohmae's groundbreaking bestseller argues persuasively how national borders are less relevant than ever before and identifies key characteristics of top--performing nations and corporations. In this revised, updated edition, which features a new introduction by the author, Ohmae attributes the American economy of the 1990s to its seamless entry into the borderless world and looks forward toward an uncharted future. He casts a critical, though ultimately hopeful, eye on the financial crisis in Asia and especially in his home country of Japan.

This great book will help you understand the development of globalization from the 1990s to the impact it is having on busines


In the Borderless World, Kenichi Omahe seeks to demonstrate the insignificance of national boarders in an increasingly global world. He demonstrates how the most successful nations and companies are those that have been able to transcend their national boarders and have instead permeated into other regions in the world.

The concept of the interlinked economy is obviously now more apparent than it was in the 1990s. At the height of globalization, developed countries in the west were able to export their products thereby increasing their consumer base and business influences. It seems to me that this book was an accurate prediction of the shifting paradigms in global businesses. Today, countries are confronted with the borderless nature of business transactions. Instead of fighting this reality, those that embrace the shift are more likely to benefit in global competitiveness.

This great book will help you understand the development of globalization from the 1990s to the impact it is having on business today. You will understand how the interlinked economy works and how you can leverage this to make profits from the economy of scale as you begin to carter to a larger audience. I recommend this book to anyone who may be wondering whether they are ready to take their business global and how globalization will continue to influence global competitiveness.
