well let's that would why it matters
what's really important is that companies are now increasingly looking for opportunities beyond the borders
they're trying to find new markets no products no suppliers new partners
so the work and heart to find grow that's really the bottom line of globalisation
they're pursuing opportunities
but in doing bad
whether asking their manages to do a is learn how to work effectively with people
who happened to be from different parts of the wall
so if i'm an american company and i want to pursue opportunities in korea one
way or the other in my manages will have to get involved work weight influence
communicate with people who are in korea or people who are from korea they may
be in other parts of the well but they make their korean
in other words when you think about globalisation
the implication of the companies global strategy d's the manages working for the company
will be increasingly asked to work with people from other parts of the wall
now
why's that difficult
the reason that's difficult is that
if you look at how
children grow up in different societies
they mostly grow up learning how to live and work with people who are like
them that's how societies develop the kids
that's
the issue so when a company asks it's manages to work effectively with people from
other parts of the well it's asking manages to do something
that's different from what they are naturally developed for
so question becomes how can we help these managers
how can we educate how can we develop how can we prepare manage use for
this new rule and you expectation that their global companies have of that
that is the essence of global minds
what we mean by global mindset he's a set of individual qualities individual characteristics
that we've spent a lotta time allow the research trying to identify
and now we know that if the manager has a high level of those attributes
that managers more likely to be effective
when he or she's working with people from other parts syllable
and we know that manages to have low levels of these attributes
get into trouble and find obstacles and challenges at the get frustrated when they have
to deal with people from other parts of
so global mindset
is a set of individual characteristics that we've identified scientifically and
having a high level of those makes
makes it more likely that you will succeed as a global match
there is not moving
