No matter what the GDP, no matter the size or style of the homes, no matter the native language. People everywhere want to better themselves. The status quo is not acceptable. I ve seen it in India. Yet even in the midst of the poverty in India, these aspirations are universal.
Businesses have universal aspirations too.
Businesses everywhere want to prosper. They want to earn the loyalty of their customers and owners. Seven years ago AirTouch was created by a spinoff from Pacific Telesis Group. Then Vodafone CEO Chris Gent set his sights on Mannesmann, driven by the belief that these two companies belonged together, aspiring to combine assets that, over night, would take the company from over 35 million customers to almost 50 million, operating in 25 countries. What happened is an interesting story about unthinkable things happening.
