To be a Global strategist in the current semi-globalized world that we live in today - we need to identify perceptions, fears and idiosyncrasies with factual data ... and then make one's move(s).
Enabled with a proper mind-set we can then create a global economy that is stable and sustainable.
“We are currently stuck in ‘World 2.0,’ a world in which the further impact of global integration is seen as limited. Professor Ghemawat artfully proposes how we can move to ‘World 3.0,’ in which openness leads to wider technological, cultural, and social benefits. The transfer of knowledge— through people, trade, or investments—could have a significant impact on growth. This is an interesting and timely argument that deserves careful consideration.”

Living in Canada ... and, 'watching' ALL the problems that keep 'popping-up' - KeystoneXL pipeline as an example ... clearly indicates that there is more to globalization than just distance and borders ... people, politics and processes - are key factors that need to be studied and considered
I am earnestly looking forward to learning more when we 'hit' the CAGE framework from week three.
