Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Ram Charan gives business leaders the guidance they need to succeed in a world in which economic power has shifted.
The global tilt is nothing less than an irreversible shift of economic power—jobs, wealth, and market opportunities—from a small part of the world to its entirety. It is improving the lives of millions of people around the world, and while it is creating immense opportunities, it is disrupting the world as you know it with dizzying speed.
If you’re an American or European, any assumptions you may have about national and managerial superiority are obsolete. Businesses in China, Singapore, India, Brazil, Malaysia, and other countries on the move have ready access to the capital and expertise they need to grow. Their leaders have just as much knowledge, talent, and drive as you do. And they are unleashing their entrepreneurial verve to scale up fast and grab once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
These businesses will soon be competing with yours, even if you’re not aware of them yet. Finding opportunities of your own requires you to consider vastly different perspectives and to see the new global landscape in its entirety and then change the content of your work to pursue them.
In Global Tilt, Ram Charan will show you how to:
- Gain an edge by cutting through the complexity of demographics, different forms of government, and even the global financial system, to identify “unstoppable trends” better and sooner than others
- Challenge your reliance on core competence and the incremental improvement that results. Instead, look “outside-in” and “future-back,” determine the capabilities you need to build, and muster the psychological fortitude to make occasional strategic bets that can potentially alter the competitive landscape
- Develop the soft skills crucial to leading a global organization, including mastering local contexts
- Equip the organization to win by facing up to painful but necessary shifts in people assignments, decision-making authority, and resource allocation—even before making structural changes
Those who can pursue the opportunities in a tilted world have a remarkably bright future. Ram Charan’s unparalleled experience with global leaders and companies and the unique and powerful insights he brings to this book will light the way for you and your exciting journey.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Charan (Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done) delivers an informative primer on the consequences of the global economic center's swing from North to South and patiently describes what companies need to do to be successful in this new paradigm. He succinctly outlines the changing landscape as businesses, wealth, and jobs move to developing international strongholds like India, China, and Brazil, from waning powers in Europe, Japan, and the US. Charan's lessons are simple and straightforward: "Only bold and ambitious thinkers will ," and he includes examples of why it's necessary for business leaders to unlearn outdated lessons, focus "from the outside in", and establish a "future back" perspective. Additionally, he recommends questions for businesses to consider as they plan their future strategies and provides a few case studies of pioneering companies who are doing things right. With all the old lessons thrown out the window, some new and strange business partnerships are sure to emerge, and Charan highlights a couple of those, too. This is necessary reading for anyone charged with strategic planning or investing in emerging markets; for the rest of us, it's fascinating information to absorb and a window onto our economic future.
Customer Reviews
Global Tilt
The sample read- Electronic version of the book appears tilted, and really seems to only include certain variables, which are not convincing for the 'North' to alter their economic business models. Provided the author had expanded- view into a comparative format of the material, then perhaps the book may have been more embraceable.
