The New Mission for Multinationals

May 18, 2015 | Jos̩ F.P. Santos, Peter J. Williamson | Strategy

Something strange is happening as globalization marches forward: Increasingly, powerful local companies are winning out against multinational competitors.

To compete effectively, multinationals need to let go of their global strategies and embrace a new mission: Integrate locally and adapt globally. That means becoming embedded in local distribution, supply, talent and regulatory networks as well as in the broader society.
