Companies now need a total global strategy that combines a successful core strategy in the home market with effective international adaptation and global integration. George Yip's Total Global Strategy is the definitive work on how companies can manage for worldwide competitive advantage. This work is based on a five-year research program in which Dr. Yip interviewed over fifty senior executives at twenty-three of the world's largest American, European, and Japanese multinational companies, as well as on his twenty years of involvement with multinational companies as a manager, consultant, and educator in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Yip provides the first systematic, comprehensive, balanced, and practical approach to developing a global strategy: diagnosing industry globalization potential, achieving global market participation, designing global products and services, locating global activities, creating global marketing, making global competitive moves, building the global organization, and measuring the use of global strategy.

The book is also filled with examples and case studies of American, European, and Japanese companies to illustrate and support key points. Total Global Strategy is essential reading for both inter
