The shape of business has been drastically altered in the last two decades, and businesses everywhere need to understand the new rules for operating in a global economy. Without this understanding an organization’s very survival is jeapordized, while adherence to the old rules almost certainly spells doom. U.S. corporations can no longer assume that their methods of organizing represent a permanent solution to the problem of how a society ought to arrange economic production. Moreover, U.S. domestic markets are no longer big enough to absorb all the products that Americans produce. For this reason, the United States can no longer afford to ignore the rest of the world. Further, this country has also lost its edge in terms of cheap labor, energy, technology, and unlimited resources, which gave its organizations and their products a superior competitive position in world markets. The American economy cannot depend on cheap, raw materials from the Third World anymore, since the “underdeveloped” countries are learning to harness their resources for their own advantage. Finally, the United States finds that it too is affected by fluctuating values of world currencies. Thus, on every front the United States finds it no longer possesses the clear advantages it once had. Mitroff and Mohrman outline the historical events that gave rise to the old rules for doing business and the underlying organizing assumptions on which those rules - which made the United States an overwhelming success - were based. They also discuss the new rules and new organizing assumptions that are essential for success in today’s environment.
