The Next Global Stage: Challenges and Opportunities in Our Borderless World

Rate this book
Globalization is a fact. You can't stop it; it has already happened; it is here to stay. And we are moving into a new global stage. A radically new world is taking shape from the ashes of yesterday's nation-based economic world. To succeed, you must act on the global stage, leveraging radically new drivers of economic power and growth. Legendary business strategist Kenichi Ohmae–who in The Borderless World , published in 1990, predicted the rise and success of globalization, coining the very word–synthesizes today's emerging trends into the first coherent view of tomorrow's global economy–and its implications for politics, business, and personal success. Ohmae explores the dynamics of the new "region state," tomorrow's most potent economic institution, and demonstrates how China is rapidly becoming the exemplar of this new economic paradigm. The Next Global Stage offers a practical blueprint for businesses, governments, and individuals who intend to thrive in this new environment. Ohmae concludes with a detailed look at strategy in an era where it's tougher to define competitors, companies, and customers than ever before. As important as Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations , as fascinating as Friedman's The Lexus and the Olive Tree , this book doesn't just explain what's already happened: It offers a roadmap for action in the world that's beginning to emerge.

Este trabajo de Kenichi Ohmae tiene la facultad de traernos una experiencia viva de la globalización a inicios del Siglo 21. Trae un enfoque de Europa y Asia que no se encuentra en la literatura que viene de Estados Unidos. A patir de ejemplos concretos y sentidos, nos trae las experiencias de Finlandia, Irlanda, India y China, con desafíos serios de amenazas y oportunidades para los países hispanoamericanos. Así como la conversación sobre el Calentamiento Global nos reveló un planeta finito, este libro también nos hace experimentar la red global de innovaciones y comercio, donde ya no importan las distancias ni las miradas tradicionales a las regiones y países del mundo. El poder está cambiando de eje, así bajo nuestros pies casi imperceptiblemente

The whole time the guy talks about how can we sell better....to more people, and how to compete by selling, and how its the end of the nation states and the whole world will be globalized. And the day I read it, I wasn't in the mood to read about selling. Is there more meaning to life than selling useless crap so more people have more of useless crap?

Kenichi Ohmae ha escrito con brillantez sobre el auge de lo que él denomina «estados-región» en numerosas partes del mundo, calificándolos de «motores de la prosperidad». Según Ohmae, en China, un gobierno comunista desfasado y centralizado se está autorreorganizando «deliberadamente o no»— con planteamientos empresariales. «Al igual que muchas empresas —escribe—, China está trasladando la mayor parte de la toma de decisiones al nivel de "unidad de empresa": estados-región semiautónomos, autogobernados, que compiten ferozmente entre sí por el capital, la tecnología y los recursos humanos.»
En efecto, en su libro de 2005 "El próximo escenario global", escribe que «Dalian (Ta-lien o Dairen), junto con otra docena de regiones de China, se ha convertido en un Estado-región de fado, que establece su propia agenda económica. Mientras que sigue siendo parte de China y, en teoría, está sujeta al gobierno de Beijing, es en gran medida autónomo. Lo cierto es que sus lazos con Beijing son más débiles que los que mantiene con los centros de negocios del mundo entero».

الكتاب بشكل عام جيد فيما هو وصفي أما تحليلاته وتوقعاته كلها رأسمالية بشكل فاحش.

كلامه عن التكنولوجي ودورها جيد جداً، كما أن كلامه عن التخطيط الاستراتيجي ومنهجيته أيضاً جيده

ولا أنصح مبتدئ بقرائته

A different perspective to look at the world. Not as a traveler this time, but as a businessman.. wondering why the world behaves the way it does.
