Global organizations face a complex decision-making environment. On one side, diversity of cultures, customers, competitors and regulations creates complexity; on the other, competitive pressures cause expanding countries to extract more synergies across products and regions. In such a climate, a new way of thinking, acting and organizing is needed beyond the familiar ‘control’ mindset.  \u003cp\u003eDrawing together insights from across the expert faculty, \u003ci\u003eManaging Complexity in the Global Organization\u003c\/i\u003e presents IMD’s framework on how to understand complexity and its four key drivers (diversity; interdependence; ambiguity and flux), along with solutions on specific issues in a variety of functions, industries and markets. The focus is on providing practical solutions based on real-life examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eContributors.  \u003cp\u003eForeword by the Editors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Conceptual Framework and Trends on the Macro-level.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1 Managing Complexity in Global Organizations as the Meta-challenge (\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMartha Maznevski, Ulrich Steger, and Wolfgang Amann\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2 The Complexity of Managing Corporate Social Responsibility in Multinationals\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e(Michael Yaziji and Karin Oppegaard)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3 Opportunities and Threats in the Global Political and Economic Environment (\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eJean-Pierre Lehmann)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Impact of Changes in the Competitive Landscape and Business Models on Complexity in Selected Industries.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4 The Need to Look at Complexity at the Industry Level\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e(\u003c\/b\u003eUlrich Steger and Wolfgang Amann)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5 Shipping Organizations – The Ultimate Global Players\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e(\u003c\/b\u003ePeter Lorange\u003cb\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6 Managing Complexity Caused by Industry Dilemmas: The Case of the Automotive Industry\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e(\u003c\/b\u003eUlrich Steger)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7 Managing Complexity with an Electronic Manufacturing Services Supplier\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e(\u003c\/b\u003eWolfgang Amann, Carlos Cordon, Ralf W.
