CEO Summit Addresses the Strategic Business Realities of Globalization
Leaders encourage their peers to leverage resources, technology, and local talent in international markets to ensure economic survival.
In May 2007, a select group of more than 50 chief executive officers and chairmen discussed their successes, challenges, and critical business issues at the 9th Annual CEO Summit in Pebble Beach, California.
It’s the ninth year that Booz Allen Hamilton has co-sponsored this invitation-only event, which provides a platform for insights into trends on the minds of CEOs. This year, the theme was “Leading the Global Enterprise” and featured views of the worldwide business environment from three perspectives: Strategy, leadership, and finance:
* Strategy – Companies must adapt and overcome market differences, and exploit opportunities that didn’t exist a decade ago
* Leadership – Global CEOs must consider elements as diverse as currency exchange, cultural sensitivities, cross-border intellectual property rights, and supply chain management in their business plans
* Finance – Companies must ensure they have the capital for global expansion
