Recenzje

'Pankaj Ghemawat makes readers think again about globalization from new, non-conventional perspectives, always based on data. In this insightful and well-researched book, he describes some key patterns in the globalization process and offers very useful strategic reflections for international companies' senior executives and policymakers on the implications of the semiglobalized world we live in.' Jordi Canals, Dean and Professor of Economics and Strategic Management, IESE Business School
