The Changing Face of Business
2nd Annual IIM Europe Global Summit on Management |
|
Oct 4, 2007 London.
|
| Global business changed dramatically at the beginning of the 21st century, following
a period of upheavals which included one of the largest economic booms followed in
turn by an all pervasive internet bust, the spread of globalization, pressure on the
environmental front, and continuing political, social and economic divisions.
These changes have transformed the very nature and business models of global
companies as they gear themselves to succeed in a new world. Globalization is here
and now - no longer a future trend, having created as many opportunities as it has
challenges. Businesses have rapidly learnt to leverage the relative strengths of
geography, both by applying learning from one market to another and getting things
done cheaper, faster, and better. Further, shunning the "not invented here" syndrome,
global companies have adopted innovative ideas and brought them into mainstream
practice.
This in turn has spawned greater competition and a quick replication of every success
- requiring businesses to generate sustainable innovation to stay ahead of the pack.
Businesses both large and small are adopting new methodologies, strategies, and
practices on an unprecedented scale.
Clearly, these changes are here to stay. Our second global management summit will
explore these trends and discuss the causes of the shift, the path which lies ahead,
and try to predict where it can lead us. |
