In this book, the autor tackles an issue of worldwide proportion -- the tensions created by globalization, the growing interdependence of the earth's 5.5 bilion people.
"Globalization" is the process forced by global flow of people, information, trade, and capital. It is accelerated by technology, potentialy harmful to the environment -- and, at present, driven by only a few hundred multinational corporations. Book’s author describes and analyzes the process on a truly global level, looking at the relationships among the world’s economic, technological, political, and cultural aspects to provide more realistic insights than purely management-based books on the subject.
Business is tandem with government must develop safe new institutions to manage global tensions. And communitarism, or collective leadership among the world’s people.
