Synopsis

An absolutely stunning -- and scary - wake-up call that reveals how the economic world is about to change dramatically in the next few years as dozens of RDEs ("Rapidly Developing Economies") begin to assert themselves as major economic powers.
Globalization is about Americans outsourcing product development and services to other countries. Globality is the next step, where rapidly developing economies from around the world are now competing with us head to head. The authors present a strong case that the economic climate in which we have lived is going to change in unprecedented ways.

"...their insights into the competitive battle in emerging markets are so keen." -- William J. Holstein of The New York Times

"Many American chief executives, it turns out, are aiming at emerging markets...And they will find many insights into prevailing in those battles in this book." -- William J. Holstein of The New York Times

"...for any corporate strategist pondering the challenges and opportunities of globalization, this book is an indispensable guide." -- John Cummings of Business Finance

"While the global economy has been a hot topic for at least two decades, it is in constant need of updating ...GLOBALITY...does the job nicely." -- BNET

"[This] vividly detailed tome describes the latest shift in globalization from a one-way street of Western domination to an increasingly competitive global playing field, where businesses from once-discounted nations are solidifying their standing." -- CIO Insight

"Whatever the next New World Order turns out to be, the advice in GLOBALITY will come in useful, for multinationals and individual workers alike." -- Business Pundit

"A smart discourse on how local companies in developing economies, such as China, India and Brazil, are bucking tradition and going for broke on their own terms..." -- BNET

"This book is a must-read for leaders of companies in the developed world who want to get into the globality act and stay in it." -- Cecil Johnson, McClatchy-Tribune News

"Get ready for a new wave of challengers, 'bursting their way onto the big stage.' So say the three authors of this smart analysis about the latest developments in global competition" -- Andrea Sachs of TIME

So in light of my decision to go back to uni (seeing as I work in one) and do a Masters in International Business, I randomly started pulling out all the business books I had bought over the years (and not read) towards the end of last year. This was one of them, and it had a really interesting cove......more

Goodreads review by George Benaroya on September 25, 2016

Emerging markets can benefit from the cost gap. Developed markets can compete on higher productivity and better infrastructure (including the rule of law) My key takeaways: Roads: A truck from Calcutta to Mumbai, a distance of 1,300 miles, takes 8 days (average speed 6 miles/hr). It’s not only about t......more
