Policy Performance and Executive Capacity in the OECD

Despite the limiting effects of growing interdependencies in a globalized world, national governments still have a considerably broad scope of action when it comes to ensuring sustainable policy outcomes.

Case Studies on Internationally Successful Companies

How important is it to actually live a company's values? Values provide internal and external orientation and legitimize decisions and actions. They also send a signal that the company is a reliable cooperation partner. They can, therefore, help businesses lower their costs and improve their economic value creation. Two case studies of internationally successful corporations illustrate the context and show how to leverage explicit values management.

In globalized markets, international cooperation between companies is becoming more and more important: On the one hand, companies increasingly need partners to be successful, on the other hand, purchasing every partner is not a viable option.
