1. Assume you have a choice to work for either a globally integrated enterprise, a met national, a glorecalized MNE, a micro-multinational, or a cyber corp. Which would you choose? Why?
2. Based on the material presented in the chapter, what sort of environment conditions, institutional agendas and technology trends support the emergence of the cyber corp?
3. What sorts of management skills and executive perspectives do you believe would make you an attractive candidate for a micro national?
4. Looking out over the next decade, estimate the likely standards of how MNE will create value. In your own opinion, which form of the MNE of the future is best designed to succeed? Why?
5. Presuming IBM’s evolutionary perspective best represents the path to the future of change, speculate what MNE will eventually replace the idea of the globally integrated enterprise.
6. The MNE of the future, in whatever form it takes, will more than likely face pressures for global integration along with those clamoring for local responsiveness. In your opinion, which form will best manage that challenge?
