Description
Summary:You'd think after running one of the most complex corporations in existence, Sam Palmisano might indulge in the usual CEO retirement package -- golf, a few blue chip corporate boards, and some prestigious nonprofit work to round it all out. Palmisano is doing all that. The former IBM chairman, who left the C-suite in 2011, has started a think tank to work with CEOs and business schools on building a body of new management principles and providing leadership training for the 21st century global organization. On Apr 2, the Center for Global Enterprise will make its official debut, along with a 101-page e-book penned (with a co-writer) by Palmisano. The book offers his perspective on competition in the first truly global era in human history. Palmisano proposes a new model, what he calls the Globally Integrated Enterprise, structured to operate effortlessly across international borders and placing operations anywhere that makes the most sense. In an interview, Palmisano talked about reinventing the global corporation.
