Why Choose this Training Course?

Has the COVID-19 crisis halted globalisation?  Is the world economy reverting from free trade to aggressive protectionism?  What will be the next trends and developments in your business?  What are the implications for your organisation?  There are positive and negative answers to these and many other questions that will shape the future.  This course will put the issues into a new context.

Globalisation has been the most powerful force influencing business in the 21st century.  It has affected every activity of organisations from basic research through product creation into post-sale customer support. The opening of markets and the rapid diffusion of information, knowledge and capability have combined to influence our assessment of business potential and the ways in which we do business.  However, we now perceive signs of a clear economic and political shift away from the trend of the past 30-40 years towards a return to uncertainty and protectionism.  Therefore, all managers have to be aware of the potential impact of global trends on every decision and every action.

This AZTech training course will feature:

  • Detailed analysis of the world economy and outlook to 2030
  • The process of change from a national to a global organisation
  • Strategic and operational challenges in developing a global organisation
  • Supply chain management challenges in a multi-cultural environment
  • Forecasting and planning in conditions of major uncertainty
