Vice President
The Center for Global Enterprise
October 01, 2013
The Center for Global Enterprise was founded by Sam Palmisano, former President, Chairman and CEO of IBM. Globalization has transformed the economies of countless countries. It has also transformed business – how it’s conducted, where it’s conducted, and by whom. The transformation has touched the very structure of the enterprise as well as the nature and definition of economic “value.” A key element of the change has been the emergence of the Globally Integrated Enterprise (GIE), which refers to companies that are truly “global” (as opposed to “multinational”) in their management and their operations, utilizing global supply chains not just for products, but also services, capital, ideas and intellectual property. As at previous inflection points in history, we need a new language – and new thinking – to harness the promise of this new era for society and avoid the peril that can arise in periods of change. The Center for Global Enterprise is dedicated to this purpose.

In this video, Dr Peter Evans, VP Research, The Center for Global Enterprise, discusses platform businesses.
