ABSTRACT

Chapter 7 represents a breakthrough and a fundamental transformation in how we approach doing business in a global world in the 21st century. The authors use six lenses of sustainable globalization to provide fresh perspectives on global issues:

• Economic/financial

• Technology

• Poverty and inequity

• Limits to growth

• Movement of talent

• Geopolitical

• An emphasis on systemic multidisciplinary approaches is encouraged because of the complex and interconnected nature of the challenges facing the world today. Opportunities for sustainable globalization are introduced in case studies. The six lenses sustainable globalization tool provides readers with a means to assess the degree to which their organization is addressing each of the six lenses.
