Globalisation


Book Description

Globalisation is having an enormous impact on the UK's economy creating significant challenges for policy-making with the shift in economic power from West to East, particularly the rise of China and India in the global economy. The effects will be on felt on highly-skilled jobs as well as some less-skilled employment, and public policy needs to respond to the likely implications for the labour market. The Committee's report considers domestic policy challenges relating to the promotion of innovation and improving the business environment and the skills base in the economy, and issues discussed include: the drivers of globalisation, trade and protectionism, global imbalances, as well as the beneficial and adverse effects of globalisation for the UK economy. The Committee recommends that, in order to promote understanding of the impact of globalisation on jobs and communities, the Government should publish an annual review of new developments affecting the impact of and prospects for globalisation. Given that protectionist sentiment is increasing, posing a threat to the progress of both developed and developing countries, the Committee supports the Government's promotion of a successful conclusion to the Doha trade round. Globalisation is also threatened by the risk of a disorderly unwinding of global imbalances and the success of a reformed International Monetary Fund will be judged by its performance in ensuring global imbalances are properly addressed.

The Global Brand


Book Description

A top executive at one of the world's leading marketing firms analyzes the familiarity and strength of brands and establishes five steps towards increasing brand strength in a globalized world Rapid advances in modern technology present companies with quickly expanding marketing opportunities, but they also create an over-saturated business landscape that both helps and hurts brands. The Global Brand is a thorough investigation of brand strength in the accelerated modern business world. Nigel Hollis draws on his experience at Millward Brown to present a simple formula for determining brand strength based on two axes, Presence (or familiarity) and Voltage (or marketing appeal), to illustrate the market value and performance of brands. He analyzes the five steps of customer commitment to a strong brand--Presence, Relevance, Performance, Advantage, and Bonding. Finally, Hollis emphasizes human nature as a set of constant core values that all brands should appeal to, and analyzes the future of brand-building as a profitable investment. “In The Global Brand, Nigel Hollis not only corrects some of the misconceptions of the past but offers a glimpse of the future that is both perceptive and grounded in good business sense. Those who take the time to properly digest this book will save their companies a lot of money.” —Sir Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive Officer, WPP
