Deep dives
The Shift towards Localization
Companies are increasingly recognizing the need to localize operations in response to rising protectionism and changing global dynamics. For instance, General Electric's CEO, Jeff Immelt, articulated a shift from a globalization-focused strategy to a localization strategy. This transformation stems from the realization that sustainable growth requires local capabilities within a global framework. As markets become more volatile and public sentiment shifts against globalization, businesses are compelled to adapt their strategies to cater to local demands while maintaining a global presence.
