Corporations in the Global Economy – serie

The premise of the book is to provide insight into new ways through which corporations create and execute strategies. They were asked to consider the proposition that strategy is shifting from a product of an élite group of people within the firm to a process that aggregates strategic thinking from all levels of the firm.

Job migration across international boundaries and jobless economic "recoveries" are the latest disruptions in the workplace's human equation. To help policy makers, employers and employees to address these issues, Divanna and Rogers propose a more rigorous approach to Human Capital. They point out that the emergence of stronger measures, management techniques and balance sheet valuations was a key enabler to the emergence of dynamic financial capital markets and international exchanges. This book puts forth a framework for measuring, managing and negotiating issues of human business value. It looks at how policymakers, employers and employees can achieve common ground when productivity threatens job loss or avoid the zero sum view that pits international trade against domestic employment.

The premise of this volume is to provide insight into new ways through which corporations create and execute strategies. It is the result of a 24 hour intensive workshop that brought together over 20 strategy practitioners from multiple industries. They were asked to consider the proposition that strategy is shifting from a product of an elite group of people within the firm to a process that aggregates strategic thinking from all levels of the firm.
