Summary

Capital Rising looks at globalization in a new way, namely, through the lens of global capital flows. These flows create new opportunities and threats for business - compelling them to rethink fundamental strategic choices such as: Where to perform activities; Which growing industries in which to invest and how to manage mature businesses. Based on dozens of case studies, interviews with practitioners and drawing on extensive academic literature, the authors extract best practices and use analytical tools and methodologies which will enable businesses to understand the impact of the global economy and capitalize on the wave of globalization.
