In his visionary book, The Trillion-Dollar Enterprise, Cyrus Freidheim offers a front-row seat to this seismic shift, through which a few dominant enterprises will control two-thirds of the global market in their respective industries. But they won't be corporations as we've known them. They will be vast networks of corporate alliances--global coalitions of independent firms acting in concert as single entities, and combining assets that exceed the entire output of many nations.Drawing from fifteen years of groundbreaking research at Booz-Allen \u0026amp; Hamilton, Freidheim convincingly demonstrates that the rise of networks of this magnitude is natural and inevitable, as companies forego traditional--and riskier--methods of expansion in favor of alliances, joint ventures, and other collaborative arrangements that capture the best capabilities of the participants while avoiding the bureaucratic disadvantages of size. Already, we are witnessing the convergence in industries as diverse as telecommunications, aerospace, and commercial aviation into alliance networks, clustered around a few dominant players. For example, the global airline industry is coalescing around networks, led by United and Lufthansa in the Star Alliance and by American Airlines and British Airways in another.From the global stage, Freidheim takes up deep into the heart of \"Trillion-Dollar Enterprises\" in development, identifying the key elements of successful network formation, and outlining new roles and responsibilities for managers, executives, teams and boards. Freidheim ultimately calls for revolutionary changes in how business leaders should be educated and rewarded, as the skills of diplomacy and negotiation take priority over functional expertise.In his provocative conclusion, Freidheim takes us twenty-five years into the future to explore looming public issues as the forces of commercial globalization and political sovereignty collide, challenging existing paradigms of anti-trust, trade, and labor policies--and even national security.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331286073617,"sku":"CIN0738201545G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53251423928593,"sku":"NIN9780738201542","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0738201545.jpg?v=1751200267"},{"product_id":"das-billionen-dollar-unternehmen-book-cyrus-freidheim-9783322822451","title":"Das Billionen-Dollar-Unternehmen","description":"Immer mehr Unternehmen fusionieren, um auf den Weltmärkten künftig zu bestehen. Die meisten Fusionen scheitern allerdings, viele verlaufen mühsam, die deutsche HypoVereinsbank ist das prominenteste Beispiel. Cyrus Freidheim stellt eine überzeugende Alternative vor: vollkommen neuartige  strategische Allianzen. Anstatt zu verschmelzen, erhalten die beteiligten Unternehmen hier ihre Unabhängigkeit, während sie nach außen  als flexible Einheit agieren  und  Werte schaffen, die die Wirtschaftskraft von ganzen Staaten übersteigen: Sie sind Billionen-Dollar-Giganten, die auch einen zunehmenden Druck auf die Politik ausüben.    In seinem faszinierenden Buch beschreibt Freidheim erstmals Entwicklung, Strategien und Schlüsselfaktoren von erfolgreichen Billionen-Dollar-Unternehmen,  und er zeigt, wie sich dabei die Rolle von Managern, Geschäftsführern, Mitarbeitern und Politikern radikal verändert. Viele anschauliche Beispiele - so aus Telekommunikation,  Raumfahrt und  Luftfahrt, hier etwa die Star Alliance mit  Lufthansa, United Airlines, SAS u.a. machen deutlich, daß wir es in Zukunft mit  noch mehr solcher Allianzen zu tun haben werden.   \"Ein bedeutender Beitrag zum strategischen Denken.\" Henry Kissinger, ehemaliger US-Außenminister.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52344009818385,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52344010572049,"sku":"NLS9783322822451","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783322822451.jpg?v=1758174242"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-cyrus-freidheim.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
