Global Vision: How Companies Can Overcome the Pitfalls of Globalization

“Robert Salomon introduces the reader to concepts such as “Institutional Distance” in order to highlight the complexities and concern points that managers should contemplate before committing to global expansion projects. In the process, Robert puts considerable “Intellectual Distance” between himself and so many other books that tend to oversimplify globalization. Global Vision is a must read for any manager with globalization responsibilities.” (Brian O’Malley, CEO, Domino Foods, Inc., ASR Group)

“Global Vision is a must read for anyone interested in successfully navigating the complexities of globalization.” (Vijay Govindarajan, Coxe Distinguished Professor, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College and Marvin Bower Fellow, Harvard Business School)

“Global Vision is an insightful discussion of the tangible and intangible factors that must be understood before any business entity attempts to expand globally. Salomon provides an important straightforward recipe to help get it right!” (Barry Alperin, Former COO and Vice Chairman, Hasbro; Director at Several Large, Publicly-traded Multinationals)
