Kenichi Ōmae Livres

From the author of "The Borderless World", this text shows the increasing dominance of consumers over companies and countries and the resultant melting away of business boundaries and borders.

A masterful analysis that will redefine the workings of the global economy for years to come.

This book, full of actual examples, aims to bring to life all of the dynamic, subtlety, and variety of business strategy as it is practiced in the real world and in real companies. The author does not purport to be inventing strategy in this book or to be revealing the secrets of Japanese business and strategic planning. Rather, he is exploring with the reader the ways in which the strategist must think, the key principles and thought patterns that real-world strategists have used to move their companies forward in Japan and throughout the world. He explores the relationship of the Strategic Triangle formed by the company, the customer, and the competition and shows how these factors must be the basis for all strategic thinking and planning.

In this profoundly important book, the author argues that nation states have not only lost their ability to control exchange rates and protect their currencies, but they have forfeited their role as critical participants in the global economy.

From the internationally renowned business consultant comes a revised edition of his groundbreaking work on the global economy, proving that his ideas are as relevant today as they were at the start of the decade.

The book presents a transformative perspective on the global economy, emphasizing the diminishing importance of national borders in business. Kenichi Ohmae analyzes how successful nations and corporations thrive in an interconnected world, advocating for innovative strategies in marketing and competition. By highlighting key traits of high-performing entities, it encourages managers to rethink their approaches in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Globalization is a fact. You can't stop it; it has already happened; it is here to stay. And we are moving into a new global stage. A radically new world is taking shape from the ashes of yesterday's nation-based economic world. To succeed, you must act on the global stage, leveraging radically new drivers of economic power and growth. Legendary business strategist Kenichi Ohmae–who in The Borderless World , published in 1990, predicted the rise and success of globalization, coining the very word–synthesizes today's emerging trends into the first coherent view of tomorrow's global economy–and its implications for politics, business, and personal success. Ohmae explores the dynamics of the new "region state," tomorrow's most potent economic institution, and demonstrates how China is rapidly becoming the exemplar of this new economic paradigm. The Next Global Stage offers a practical blueprint for businesses, governments, and individuals who intend to thrive in this new environment. Ohmae concludes with a detailed look at strategy in an era where it's tougher to define competitors, companies, and customers than ever before. As important as Huntington's The Clash of Civilizations , as fascinating as Friedman's The Lexus and the Olive Tree , this book doesn't just explain what's already happened: It offers a roadmap for action in the world that's beginning to emerge.

From Simon & Schuster, The End of the Nation State explores how capital, corporations, consumers, and communication are reshaping global markets. Arguing that nation states are forfeiting their role in the global economy, the author contends that other forces have usurped economic power--capital, corporations, customers, communications, and currencies--and that natural economic zones or region states are emerging.
