Think globally ‐ act locally! Competences for global management
Abstract
Multinational organizations’ value chains spread around the world and this demands a new competence ‐ global leadership. Describes how Mobil Oil has funded the International Management Development Consortium to design a programme for top management to acquire such skills. The first programme has been delivered and was structured around an interactive project involving a strategic analysis of marketing a telecommunications service across the world. An international faculty designed a unique approach for participants, who were drawn exclusively from multinational organizations. Reports how, as a part of the programme, participants examined the issue of which competences are essential for global leadership.
