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.
New economics for a borderless world:
Why Keynes' and Milton Friedman's economics are history
-- and what might replace them.
Leveraging today's most powerful platforms
for growth: From Windows to English to your global
brand.
Technology driving business death --
and rebirth: Anticipating technological obsolescence
-- and jumping ahead of it.
Government in the post-national era:
What government can do when nation-states don't matter.
Leadership and strategy on the global
stage: Honing your global vision and global leadership
skills.
Kenichi Ohmae, one of the world's leading
business and corporate strategists, has written over 100
