Advance Praise for The New Global Road Map:
from the foreword by N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons--
"Pankaj is unique in his ability to connect theoretical rigor to practical decision making on the ground. I highly recommend this book--and Pankaj's sensible approach more generally--as a crucial voice to counter the oftentimes bombastic nature of our current dialogue on the future of globalization."
Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO, CEMEX--
"The new book by Professor Pankaj Ghemawat could not be more timely. As a brilliant and sensible voice in the field of business strategy, he has long provided useful guidance for how to create lasting value. Now he connects new dots to show that the challenge is not to opt between local retrenchment or pursuing a mindless globalization but to find the right balance between them."
Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and CEO, Schneider Electric--
"Pankaj delivers his views on globalization based on a wealth of facts and data. He pivots globalization on the strength of each local market, an approach that keeps at bay emotional perceptions. In this more complex world, Pankaj proposes avenues for business leaders to strategize and execute on their internationalization programs. An important read for all companies who move in the larger world!"
Praise for Redefining Global Strategy:
"Pankaj Ghemawat has created an important strategic guidebook for leaders of the globally integrated enterprises of the twenty-first century. His analytical framework is both visionary and pragmatic--aware of the broad historic trajectories of globalization, but grounded in the real kinds of decisions business leaders have to make now." -- Samuel J. Palmisano, former Chairman of the Board and CEO, IBM Corporation
