The benefits of globalization are so well known that most businesses would take full advantage of them immediately, if only it were easier to do.  Making globalization work demands new types of expertise that traditional organizations often lack.  While technology has eliminated a number of barriers to globalization (most notably those involving time and space), many significant barriers still remain, particularly those involving people and the organizations we build around them.  The purpose of this book is to provide some insight to help HR professionals on how to overcome these barriers.
