Geopolitics; Economics of industrial organisation; Business strategy; International business

In an era marked by new challenges – from trade wars and sanctions, to supply chain disruptions and political instability – understanding the relationship between geopolitics and business is more crucial than ever. How are companies impacted and why should they care? This book explores how geopolitical shifts, including the rise of China, the US-China tech competition, and regional conflicts, affect markets, industries, companies, managers, and employees. Uncovering the structural changes reshaping the global business environment, the business risks from an increasing national security focus, and the implications of trade wars and global conflicts on innovation, Srividya Jandhyala offers practical strategies and skills for managers and employees to manage these risks. With a focus on real world case studies and actionable insights for businesses, The Great Disruption is as an essential resource, offering a roadmap for companies to navigate an evolving but unpredictable global business landscape.

Reviews for The Great Disruption: How Geopolitics is Changing Companies, Managers, and Work

'The Great Disruption is a timely book that offers several tools to better understand and deal with geopolitical shifts and the unpredictable global business environment. By highlighting the importance of corporate nationality, geopolitical allies and rivals, and a structural perspective, this book helps managers to understand and navigate geopolitical tensions.' Heather Berry, Dean's Professor of Strategy and International Business, Georgetown University 'Multinational corporations previously stood astride a borderless world, in search of maximum efficiencies. Jandhyala's book is a valuable guide to an emerging world, where companies must find their long-lost passports and navigate a new era where the economics of efficiency are joined by the economics of statecraft to determine commercial success.' James R. Sullivan, CFA, External Associate, Economic Conflict and Competition Research Group, King's College London
