Glocalisation is no longer just a concept but actual initiatives by multinationals to customise its products and services for the locality or culture in which it is sold. Many companies have discovered their globalisation strategies need to be tempered with local insights and execution know-how from experienced people on the ground.
New jobs in marketing insights and social media are gaining popularity. Huge monolithic multinationals are recruiting people who are skilled in marketing insights and social media to help transform their traditional organisations into nimble, agile and glocal companies.
Traditional barriers to greater international and regional trades have crumbled. Securing work passes to work in a foreign country by skilled and young professionals have eased greatly. The advent of internet and the commoditisation of air-travel have massively multiply global and regional trade. The impetus for greater glocalisation is the realisation by multinationals that it is easier to embrace diversity than to homogenise the global market.
Multinationals have to struggle with labour challenges, infrastructure and environmental constraints, non-trade barriers to local market access, inadequately developed institutions, legal nightmares, intellectual property rights infringements, and other business culture shocks. Foreign managers have to think out-of-the-box solutions to come to grips with unconventional challenges and issues.
Many of the speakers emerged from the trenches after surviving the great Asia Pacific transformation from the backwater economies to many of the world leading economic power-houses of today. They will share with you on their survival strategies, tactics and know-how to avoid pitfalls should you decide to take the plunge.
