In this groundbreaking book by the bestselling author of The Change Masters and When Giants Learn to Dance, Rosabeth Moss Kanter shows how businesses and communities can harness global market forces and make them work to their advantage right here at home. In the economy of the 21st century, she writes, success will come only to those companies -- large and small -- whose goods and services meet world class standards and can compete in the global marketplace. Thus, even small companies must tap into international networks and global alliances. Managers must widen their perspective and broaden their contacts and fields of expertise. And communities must open their boundaries to multinational companies and welcome foreign investment and trade.
All about we can survive and thrive in a global economy, although I bet almost everything in it is almost completely irrelevant more than a decade later. However, in when we read this in Senior Seminar in Political Economy we also went to the Tenant factory where they make Zamboni's and ride on industrial floor cleaners and learn about why they stayed in Minnesota even though it might be cheaper to go someplace. I don't remember the reason, but the factory was cool.
