Editorial Reviews
Review
"Ed Fitzgerald convincingly argues that global enterprises can best serve themselves and society at large by operating in free and unimpeded markets--while emphasizing the need to recognize concerns surrounding the environment and labor standards in developing countries. He sees these as challenges that enlightened business leaders have the responsibility to address if they expect markets to remain open."-Clifton R. Wharton former Deputy Secretary of State and former Chairman TIAA-CREF
"In response to recent backlash against globalization, Globalizing Customer Solutions offers a balanced, rational portrayal of today's dynamic economy and what it means to do business in it. It traces the significant strides we've made in the last 50 years in trade, investment, and innovation--and emphasizes what we stand to lose by turning inward."-Edward Kangas Chairman, Global Board of Directors Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
