Goals

Overseeing the development of problematic international projects, especially in Low Cost Countries, requires an analysis of the position of the firm in a worldwide competitive context. There are three main axes to take into account when analysing the issues and the ways of implementing and developing activities:

1) Management-positioning of the firm through strategy and capability planning.

2) Finance & Economy-real-time strategic response through issue management, finance, organisational design and industrial organisation.

3) Organisational design-systematic management of resistance during strategic implementation.

Methodology: Conceptual framework and empirical application of international development of the firm.
