Globalization of Business Enterprise

18 оценки

The majority of businesses say they want to become more global. And business leaders say that the lack of people with global intelligence is the key constraint holding them back. This course will address both gaps — at the business and the personal level, it will focus on practical strategies for dealing with the real consequences of globalization.

Week 8 - Globalization and You

This session, which is titled “Globalization and You”, looks at how globalization affects organizations and people, and in particular, you. We take a dual perspective, looking first at the globalization of personnel within and particularly at the top of organizations and second, at the individual or personal level.

Good afternoon and welcome to my home base of ESA Business School in Barcelona.

I'm actually standing on the terrace of the north campus of of ESA

with the beautiful city of Barcelona stretching behind me.

And this seemed like a good place to conclude this journey that we've been on.

Not just because ESA is the institution under

who's auspices this course is being offered.

But also because ESA is the place where the ideas that have been presented to

you first started to come together in the form in which you've seen them.

Specifically, IESE is where I moved to in 2006, partly to

realize my vision of developing a required course on globalization and business.

A course that is still offered here and that farms the basis for

the online version that's been presented to you.

In that sense, my personal trajectory reflects some of the things talked about

in the last lecture, in terms of being willing to move across borders and

to stretch yourself, if necessary, in pursuit of your own personal objectives.

Beyond to that lecture, there are three other specific items that are pending.

The survey that's been posted to the Coursera website.

The PTP assignment that's due on March 30th.

And the evaluations that you have to perform of each others PPP

assignments and the week that follows.

A more specific deadlines and instructions can be found on the course syllabus.

More broadly than those three specific pending items,

there's also a much broader unfinished agenda.

Because obviously to talk about globalization in just eight sessions is

to do the equivalent of what, in America, is called drinking from a fire hose.

You're taking in so much material that it's really hard to process it all.

So the objective in this course wasn't

to provide a comprehensive treatment of globalization.

Rather, the course was inspired by one of the things that I most agree with about

education, a quote due to the Anglo-Irish poet, W B Yates,

who said, education is not about filling a pail It's about lighting a fire.

I hope that the material that we've had has lit some kind of fire.

Has inspired you to rethink the world that we live in

to go beyond some of the simplicities associated with Globaloney.

And to see the world as it really is with tremendous divisions but

also some tremendous opportunities to build bridges across those divisions.

Building those bridges would be unnecessary in a flat world, in the world

that we live in, it's perhaps one of the most important things we can think about.

So, I wish you good luck in that journey and

in that road ahead about trying to increase not just

your understanding of other people, but

try to bring the world a little bit closer together.
