An intensive professional development training course on
Globalisation and Deglobalisation
The Search for a New Strategic Direction
Why Choose this Training Course?
Has the COVID-19 crisis halted globalization? Is the global economy shifting from free trade to aggressive protectionism? What emerging trends and developments should your business anticipate, and what are their implications for your organization? These questions, with both positive and negative answers, will significantly influence the future. This course aims to provide context for these issues.
Globalization has been a dominant force shaping business in the 21st century, impacting every aspect of organizations, from basic research and product development to post-sale customer support. The opening of markets and the rapid spread of information, knowledge, and capabilities have transformed our understanding of business potential and operations. However, recent signs indicate a significant economic and political shift away from the past 30-40 years of globalization, toward increased uncertainty and protectionism. Consequently, it is crucial for all managers to understand the potential effects of global trends on every decision and action.
