"Globalization and Its Impact", Atul VashisthaThe Futurized Corporation
Globalization is ushering in a new era of doing business. The Futurized Corporation is the one who is able to seamlessly stitch together global services from different providers, interwoven with its own operations, in order to achieve the highest degree of agility in their operating model. Such an organization will keep its vision, strategic execution and core competencies in house; these three building blocks will be the sources of competitive advantage for the Futurized Corporation - beyond them, all functions in the value chain can be outsourced and done better by others. How does this impact procurement and sourcing? An opportunity beckons!About the Speaker:
