The mind of the CEO

by Jeffrey Garten (2002)

About this book

"In these times of intense change, what role should our most important business leaders play in society? How do the CEOs of major corporations construe their jobs? How should they construe them? These are the questions posed and answered in The Mind of the CEO.". "Based on extensive and highly personal interviews with forty CEOs around the world - people such as GE's Jack Welch, AOL's Steven Case, Allen & Co.'s Nancy Peretsman, Newscorp's Rupert Murdoch, BP Amoco's John Browne, Nokia's Jorma Ollila, and Toyota's Hiroshi Okuda - Jeffrey E. Garten takes us on a journey into the innermost thoughts of the world's corporate titans and provides a context for understanding the turmoil in today's boardrooms. His conclusions may surprise you."--BOOK JACKET.

Cover of Managing across borders

Managing across borders

Christopher A. Bartlett and Sumantra Ghoshal

With deregulation, privatization, and information technology transforming competition, the transnational model continually evolves. In a timely response to this dynamically changing business world, Bartlett and Ghoshal revisit their breakthrough concepts, updating the material with fresh examples drawn from today's leading global enterprises. The second edition of Managing Across Borders builds on the authors' ongoing exploration of the transnational, with their current research extending and illuminating the findings of their earlier work. An entirely new section, "The Transformation Challenge," focuses on how several companies have implemented the book's concepts. We see firsthand the obstacles and opportunities to building an effective transnational organization. This new edition also includes an application handbook, a highly practical tool that helps readers translate the book's ideas into real-world action plans for their companies.

Cover of International business

International business

Alan M. Rugman, Richard M. Hodgetts

"This second edition of an already well-established international business text maintains its unique strategic focus and the use of the triad (US/Europe/Far East) as a framework within which international business is explored. There is an emphasis on economic and multinational approaches throughout. The major strength of this book lies in the use of relevant case material, much of which has how been revised or replaced to include more European examples. Each chapter has common pedagogy, which includes objectives, active learning cases, international business strategy in action, key points, key terms, review and discussion questions, and real cases."--BOOK JACKET.
