Global Competitiveness

We’ve had the luxury in the United States to sometimes say we want to engage or that we do not want to engage…

Listen U.S. companies, this is your wake-up call. The opportunity to plan for today’s growth passed, and many missed that mark. Fortunately, today is the day to start planning for tomorrow’s growth, and there is still time. However, the old strategies of cost-cutting and down-sizing will not suffice in the decade ahead. Only new methods and new solutions designed to respond to today’s global market will provide future success.

By 2020, 80 percent of the world’s consumer base will reside outside U.S. boundaries. These are our/your future customers, future partners, and the future path toward growth. Harness the power of yesterday’s advances in technology and communication and connect, starting today, with this vibrant global market. Take a reality check, reform corporate mindset and embrace the new reality – it’s the only reality available. Then, map out a plan to incorporate new solutions for these new opportunities.

In the Media

Mona quoted on Microsoft:

“Global mergers and acquisitions have been described as “the key strategy to future success and competitiveness in the world market”.

Expansion strategy expert Mona Pearl says the process of becoming global force will present many internal and external challenges, but if executed carefully can lead to significant profit rises and exponential growth. Committed to this theory, she will address a Florida conference on cross border transactions next month in a bid to encourage more midmarket companies to base their growth strategy around mergers and acquisitions.

Ms Pearl, founder and chief operating officer of BeyondAStrategy, says many firms need “a wake up call” where expansion is concerned.

She comments: “Today is the day to start planning for tomorrow’s growth, and there is still time. However, the old strategies of cost-cutting and down-sizing will not suffice in the decade ahead.”

Ms Pearl explains that only new methods and solutions designed to respond to the modern global market will provide success in the future.

She cites Albert Einstein who famously said that “in the middle of every great difficulty lies opportunity”, claiming that by using creativity, knowledge and actionable plans firms can tap in to this potential.

EWeek Knowledge Centre contributing editor Dave Meizlik recently urged firms acquiring other businesses to ensure they take steps to secure all data stored on technology appliances.”
