Recent waves of globalisation have created new markets and business

opportunities that few could visualize earlier. These however, come with
challenges and risks even fewer managers are familiar with. Companies today
have to prove that they are, and will continue to remain, globally competitive if
they are to be able to carry their clients, investors and talented high performing
employees with them into the future. This, in essence, translates into the ability
of managers to have a global mindset, address global markets, and manage
globally distributed human resources and global financial contexts. These have to
be achieved even while following basic principles which underpin a company’s
vision and strategy that need to be interpreted in differing settings globally.
