Smart Globalization is a collection of innovative insights on global strategy, originally published in the MIT Sloan Management Review. The book's core idea is that globalization presents both opportunities and challenges. While firms can benefit from accessing larger markets, achieving cost efficiencies, and gaining new ideas, they also face increased diversity, complexity, and uncertainty.
