  Accenture’s third report on the emerging multi-polar world, Strategies for Achieving High Performance in a Multi-Polar World, presents a playbook of options drawn from the experiences of high-performance businesses from around the globe, including emerging-market multinationals. It sets out the practices and management ideas that may help businesses withstand short-term pressures generated by the current economic crisis, while laying the groundwork for growth in the upturn.
This report, produced by the Accenture Institute for High Performance, integrates our continuing High Performance Business research and separate research programs into the effects of globalization. It offers persuasive evidence that high-performance businesses from both the developed and emerging markets have broadly similar—and highly innovative—approaches to globalization. They discover new fulcrums of growth, cost efficiency and risk management in the multi-polar world, develop them and work them into the fabric of their businesses. Across all dimensions of the multi-polar world, high-performance businesses are guided by three central maxims: - Create geographic options
- Become authentically local
- Network the organization
When choosing strategies to harness different economic geographies, it is useful to look at how high-performance businesses turn these principles into actions. This report isolates a number of specific imperatives that can help companies make focused choices in how they execute their global strategy. Join us as we explore the multi-polar world |
