In this rousing call to arms, the authors - business school professors at Dartmouth and the University of Maryland, respectively - lay out three persuasive reasons why corporations need to increase their global presence. First, global opportunities and threats can appear anywhere, so it's best to be firmly entrenched worldwide; second, simply having a "foreign" office doesn't count as a true global presence; and third, success around the globe means hiring the most talented people available to fule what the authors call your "knowledge engine." |

The reality of thinking and being global in mind-set should be a no-brainer for all of us. But for those who believe that such is not the case, Professors Govindarajan and Gupta have put to rest any romantic or unrealistic views that we can sit back and bask in our prosperity. So it's back to work on figuring out how to win globally, not locally or nationally, that will get you in the Hall of Fame for Business Leaders worldwide. You will find yourself referring often to The Quest for Global Dominance as you chart your course forward. |

In an interconnected global economy, every company-technology companies in particular-must look at the entire world as the playing field. Vijay Govindarajan and Anil K. Gupta have done an excellent job of unpacking what companies must do in order to emerge as the undisputed leaders in serving their customers worldwide, effectively and efficiently. This well-written book is a must-read for anybody charged with leading the globalization of his or her company.

The Quest for Global Dominance is an excellent review of the increasing need for global focus and the opportunities and challenges that face companies that globalize. It is a book of great value for managers who are facing globalization, but it can also serve as a checklist and reminder for managers already experienced in this important field. |

The Quest for Global Dominance should be must-reading for CEOs and would-be CEOs in all industries, whether or not they realize that they are-or are about to be-global players. Professors Govindarajan and Gupta make a powerful case for the inevitability of globalization, and they give the senior executive a practical road map for making the most of the opportunities it presents, while avoiding some of the pitfalls. |

This book provides fundamental inputs for managers who are leading modern global corporations in the new age of information technology, networks, and e-business. Above all, I am impressed with the focus on building a global knowledge ecology within these modern corporations. Globality truly becomes relevant and meaningful when seen in the light of knowledge development, taking us from learning within smaller individual 'silos' or 'kingdoms' to learning and knowledge accumulation in a global context. Overall, this is a great book and a must for the modern leader of the global firm. |

Contained between the covers of The Quest for Global Dominance is an exciting, challenging, and provocative assimilation of business values, beliefs, and accomplishments derived from a contemporary analysis of successful global business experiences. Govindarajan and Gupta have tied together in one high-energy, fast-moving document the concepts of globalization, diversity, and convergence into a coherent global business model facilitated by the real-time attributes of electronic knowledge and commerce. The world will not become smaller; rather we will learn to embrace it more effectively and efficiently through The Quest for Global Dominance. |
