Managing Complexity in Global Organizations
Paperback Engels 2007 9780470510728Samenvatting
This book delivers new IMD insights on an emerging challenge – how to deal with overwhelming complexity. Global organizations face a complex decision–making environment. On one side, diversity of cultures, customers, competitors and regulations creates complexity; on the other, competitive pressures cause expanding countries to extract more synergies across products and regions. In such a climate, a new way of thinking, acting and organizing is needed beyond the familiar control mindset.
Drawing together insights from across the expert faculty, Managing Complexity in the Global Organization presents IMD s framework on how to understand complexity and its four key drivers (diversity; interdependence; ambiguity and flux), along with solutions on specific issues in a variety of functions, industries and markets. The focus is on providing practical solutions based on real–life examples.
