From the supplier: Tenneco CEO and Chmn Dana Mead spoke about the challenges of global leadership during the second annual Andersen Consulting World Forum on Change held in New York City in the fall of 1997. He cited three cautionary tales to illustrate the difficulties involved in conducting business abroad. He called the first of these as 'global economic myopia,' which refers to the tendency of US businesses to be optimistic about conditions in developing countries. The second tale emphasized that politics is an important aspect of foreign projects and deals. The third tale stressed that the shortage of people who can develop and implement a global strategy is keeping US businesses from achieving success. Business leaders should address these challenges to ensure the competitiveness of US companies abroad.
