As the relentless pressure of globalization continues to build, what can you do to assure that your organization remains competitive?

You cannot understand the morning news or know where to invest your money or think about where the world is going, Friedman explains, unless you understand this new system which is influencing the domestic policies and international relations of virtually every country in the world today. And once you do understand the world as Friedman describes it, you'll never look at it quite the same way again.
