In
1993, Joan worked for a company that was "going global".
North American
based, her corporation started to buy up companies around the world. Ten years
later, they had operations in 63 countries. But - were they global?
In the midst of a
global economy,
common sense tells us that to be competitive we have to be global too - right?
"Going Global?"
looks at the challenges of creating a global company from its most important
aspect - People.
The presentation
looks at the following key questions: · What is a "global" company? · Who are
they - are there any? · If you are going global - how does it affect the people
that really matter - Your Employees, Your Customers, and Your Shareholders?
