Abstract

Working in the international arena necessitates coping with rapid and constant changes. This paper highlights some important management concepts for successful businesses in the 1990s. Financing and local supply requirements lead to changes of emphasis in sales activities. Supply management and a global network of subsidiaries and partners ensures high process quality and the possibility to better meet customer demands. This is discussed in the context of the three spheres of world-wide economic influence: Europe, Asia and the Americas. Project management, organisation and commercial structure as effective tools of successful projects are highlighted. Examples of large power projects and equipment developments in the “borderless world” are presented
