World 3.0

Pankaj Ghemawat is the Anselmo Rubiralta Professor of Global Strategy at IESE Business School, in Barcelona and served for more than twenty years on the faculty of the Harvard Business School, where in 1991, he became the youngest person in the school's history to be appointed a full professor. Ghemawat has been described by Michael Porter as "one of those rare individuals who combines world-class scholarship with a deep knowledge of business practice." He is also the youngest "guru" included in the guide to the greatest management thinkers of all time published in 2008 by The Economist.

"it should be included on the reading list of anyone interested in the subject." -- Publisher's Weekly "World 3.0's cautious tone is refreshing..." -- USA Today "a very smart book" - TIME "At last, some sense on globalization...deserves a wide audience..." - The Economist "An excellent new book... thoughtful and persuasive... [ Ghemawat's] ambition is commendable and his argument compelling." -- International Affairs "a unique look at globalisation..." - Business Today "The book is a solid read, backed by hard data and supplemented with easily understood illustrations." -- Business Today Egypt "In World 3.0, Pankaj Ghemawat provides a fresh look at cross-border integration and its implications. He demonstrates why integration and regulation must be seen as complementary. And he offers great recommendations that should inspire all stakeholders in times of major global challenges. A must-read." --Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO). "We are currently stuck in 'World 2.0,' a world in which the further impact of global integration is seen as limited. Professor Ghemawat artfully proposes how we can move to 'World 3.0,' in which openness leads to wider technological, cultural, and social benefits. The transfer of knowledge--through people, trade, or investments--could have a significant impact on growth. This is an interesting and timely argument that deserves careful consideration." --Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) "World 3.0 is a comprehensive framework for thinking about globalization, market failures, and market integration. Ghemawat sets a visionary but pragmatic agenda for senior managers, businesses, and governments. His views about managing capital reversals and imbalances while exploiting the large untapped potential of globalization are particularly relevant." --Michel Camdessus, former Managing Director, International Monetary Fund "This book deserves to be read widely. It establishes--through the type of clinical analysis on which Ghemawat has built his reputation as a global strategist--that the current world we live in is, at best, semiglobalized, and then proceeds to spell out the implications of such a world for individuals, businesses, and governments." --Ratan Tata, Chairman, Tata Group "This is the right book at the right time. After the most severe economic crisis since the Great Depression, many leaders are looking for ways to make the global economy more stable and sustainable. World 3.0 offers well-reasoned strategies for achieving that." -- Peter Loscher, President and Chief Executive Officer Siemens AG "Pankaj Ghemawat has provided an impressive and comprehensive analysis of the world's situation in times of globalization and strong economic and social imbalances. His book contributes to fostering the mind-set that will enable us to reshape this world in a sustainable way. If we believe in 'World 3.0,' we will be able to build it." --Mohammed Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace
