Reviews

[Paul Whitla · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very influential book at the time that introduced the concept of the 'triad' of the EU, U.S., and Japan and suggested the need for global presence of MNC's in all three areas. Because of different technologies in each area and the need to gain economies of scale, firms need to be seen as almost 'local' firms in each area. Would be interest to see how his thoughts changed, for example by the time of 'the end of the nation state' ten years later, the author seemed to see a much more globalised world.
