ABSTRACT
Globalizing an organization is a challenge that demands an understanding of and a commitment to mobilizing all six of the organizational components explored and illustrated throughout this book, namely, corporate culture, people, strategies, operations, structure, and learning. It is a difficult and daunting task, but certainly there is no task more important for assuring the survival and success of your organization. As General Electric CEO Jack Welch succinctly stated, companies either “globalize or they die.”
