Developing Global Talent Ikuko Atsumi

Ask yourself this question...what is the difference between globalization and internationalization? Many people incorrectly view globalization in the limited sense of "domestic" versus "overseas". In Developing Global Talent, renowned globalization expert Ikuko Atsumi takes you on a journey where you get to see the world as an integrated whole. In this journey, you learn how to take a bird's eye view of the world in order to categorize people by moral, legal, religious, and mixed codes. You will gain a deeper understanding of globalization, and be given tools to be successful in today's world. Ikuko Atsumi, who is of Japanese origin, provides in-depth insight on how the Japanese have failed to understand the true meaning of globalization, and proposes grouping countries by the above codes rather than viewing countries as individual units. This may lead to counter intuitive groupings such as countries from Asia and South America, but doing so enables a more accurate understanding of what motivates people from various regions or countries. Developing Global Talent is a must-read for anyone that is involved on a global level. In this book, you will learn how to embrace a Zen-like approach in developing your way of thinking to accurately observe the world around you. You will be equipped with a cultural world map that provides the tools for understanding people all over the world.
