Competing for Global Dominance

Survival in a Changing World.

by Jack S. Katz

'Competing for Global Dominance' sets the stage for a new paradigm required for growth of the globalized market in the 21st century and outlines the issues that entrepreneurs and businesses will face as they compete for survival in a world marketplace no longer hindered by time and distance.

As the Silicon Valley success model moves into its adolescence and transforms its methodology more into using social and business networking as demonstrated on web sites of Facebook, YouTube, LinkIn, LinkSV, Twitter, Ecademy where groups of individuals and businesses from around the world can meet, communicate and collaborate together to expand their influence and market share by developing new ways of doing business. But before this can be effectively accomplished, a new approach needs to be established for how to compete, grow and survive in this new globalized environment. Many governments, educational and private organizations have tried to duplicate the success of Silicon Valley with limited degrees of success, most without really understanding the new dynamics of global competition and how to enter new markets.

This book shows the thought leadership from a practitioners viewpoint who works with entrepreneurs and companies from around the world to position them for survival and expansion in the new world of globalization.

Excerpt

Innovative companies have demonstrated that to maintain their market position for the long term base their tactics for winning on customer value and on flawless execution. These companies take full advantage of market timing, test trials, expert guidance, strategic and tactical planning that will eliminate errors and problems before hand, maximizing the potential for achieving a successful outcome. They also understand that to compete for global dominance they have to develop their products from the outset for the international market and to execute different tactics for each specific country. Successful global companies have gained an understanding of the world around them and know how to exploit that knowledge to their advantage. Global business players, those multinational companies which have gone offshore, have already adopted a lean business model striving for the lowest cost structure, automating any and all operations, focusing on quality, relying on knowledgeable experts in the countries they are dealing with, and providing inexpensive and quality customer support and service all to stay competitive.

It is no longer only those companies that have deep financial pockets that can assume the risk required to expand their goods and services worldwide, any company can now build the required infrastructure at low cost to support market development while building their international supply chain - expanding their products and services worldwide. The world economies now depend on a shared sense of mutual benefit among companies to sell uniform goods and services across multiple borders.

If globalization is the process by which the experience of everyday life is becoming standardized around the world and where the patterns of production and consumption are resulting in the homogenization of culture, then we have never experienced this trend before throughout the history of mankind. How to compete and thrive becomes the major goal for businesses worldwide.
