Leadership

Leadership is not about hierarchy or title or status: It is about having influence and mastering

change. Leadership is not about bragging rights or battles or even the accumulation of wealth; it’s about connecting and engaging at multiple levels. ….Leaders can no longer view strategy and execution as abstract concepts, but must realize that both elements are ultimately about

people.” - Carly Fiorina

Top Management Nationality

“Companies are realizing that they have a portfolio of human resources worldwide,

that their brightest technical person might come from Germany, or their best financial manager from England. They

are starting to tap their worldwide human resources. And as they do, it will not be surprising to see non-Americans

rise to the top.”- Christopher Bartlett, Harvard Business School

International Division Structure

• Four factors that lead to this structure– Top management’s commitment to global operations

has increased enough to justify the position– Complexity of international operations requires a

single organizational unity– The firm has recognized the need for internal

specialists to deal with the demands of global operations

– Management recognizes the importance of proactively scanning the global horizon for opportunities and threats
