An Intensive 5-day Training Course
The Challenge of Globalisation
Opportunity and Threat in World Markets
Course Introduction
Why do organisations decide to become global? What are the characteristics of a global organisation? In what ways are the challenges of global business different from national business? What are the risks and rewards of global business? These are some of the questions that we answer in this Course.
This training Course “The Challenge Of Globalisation” enables experienced delegates to understand the reasons why companies develop internationally and ultimately globally. We start by analysing the basic rationale that leads many organisations to decide to globalise. We then work through the strategic, organisational and human aspects of change from a national to a multinational and eventually global organisation. This is achieved by examination of organisations at different stages of this process and we learn from their experience in meeting and dealing with the particular challenges faced at each stage. This subject is of critical strategic importance, since all organisations are operating in an international environment that is increasingly unstable and quick to change. As international economies develop in different ways and at different speeds we can simultaneously observe more open markets and, in contrast, growing calls for protectionism and trade restrictions.
