The COVID-19 global pandemic is possibly the worst healthcare disaster ever, and recent studies highlight several differences in the response to COVID-19. Some countries acted quickly with strict measures to successfully contain the initial spread of the COVID-19 and minimize the number of cases and deaths, while others have not been as proactive and have suffered more as a result. The book is organized under distinct themes based on the stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, consisting of (a) discovery and early response, (b) global spread and reactions, (c) early successes and failures, and (d) subsequent waves and new strains. It goes on to analyze the differences in national responses to draw important lessons for managers and governments and concludes with policy recommendations. A useful guide for students, managers, and the general public who are interested in learning about the COVID-19 experience and how such global crises could be managed more effectively in future.

Download or read book Managing Global Business Strategies written by John T McManus and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2008-08-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at key decision makers and those responsible for global strategy, this book is about changing markets and the complexity of undertaking business in a fast paced technological and knowledge based age in a dynamic and strategic context. Trends show a renaissance in entrepreneurial activity that is fuelling innovation particularly in the so called BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, China and India. For example, both China and India have benefited immensely from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and as a direct consequence both nation states are reshaping the way global business is conducted and the way investment decisions are made. Evidence would suggest that Europe and the United States are more dependent on the BRIC trading nations for earnings and profits. Geographical distance is no longer a barrier between nations; however, the challenges of ethnic diversity in domestic markets are multiplied by the difficulties of delivering goods and services into global markets with different cultures and languages. This book examines the issues associated with undertaking global business in complex and knowledge related markets. Written by highly knowledgeable and well-respected practitioners and academics in their field Provides practical insight and realistic answers to global and strategic problems Progressive constructs of trends and thoughts to take the reader from the current paradigm to the broader yet application-specific view of global business

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked yourself - "What do we do now that our supply chain has moved into the global arena?" Globalization has stretched supply chains and thus has introduced a variety of problems not present in purely domestic supply chains. Along with serious issues of security, many firms simply treat global supply chains as if they were a simple extension of the domestic model. This has caused unexpected problems including a general backlash against outsourcing, hidden costs, quality problems, and the difficulty of managing supply chains on a global basis. Help has arrived. This unique book traces the history of globalization and its impact on supply-chain management while also taking a detailed look at the problems and some of the solutions facing global supply chains today.
