What set this book apart for me was that it is written at a fast pace...quite unlike most business books I read. That means I picked it up one afternoon and read it cover to cover like a gripping novel. Usually, I dip in and out of business books or just read certain chapters. 'Global Manifest Destiny' is full of business-relevant facts, which in part support the main proposition that there is an inevitable coming together of the economies of the world - but which also stand alone as interesting and important statistics.

I have promised myself to re-read this book in one month's time just to make doubly sure I retain the key learning. This is essential in my role for JTI. Mine is a global role for a global player. This book helps.

Finally a book that helps me to understand what a global company is supposed to look like!

As President of the International Division for H20 Plus, Inc., I have had the opportunity to thoroughly read John Caslione's book. I found the book to be extraordinarily practical and easy to read in all respects. It was very informative with useful information, in particular, relating to various sources of information, including websites that can be used as references for particular research. For anyone involved in international business, I highly recommend this book. Since I have read 'Global Manifest Destiny', I have gone back on several occasions to make reference to certain sections in it that are particularly relevant to our international business operations.

Global Manifest Destiny is one of those rare reads. It's practical, logical, and cuts to the heart of any business's concerns about competing in the global marketplace. It offers an almost self-diagnosis for small to medium-sized enterprizes who understand that global economic integration is inevitable - and not just for the big players any more. Each chapter provides expert guidance in developing a checklist of key business functions that must be addressed in order to succeed globally, and the succinct delivery is a pleasure to read. Highly recommended!!

As a follow up to the first volume, Growing Your Business in Emerging Markets, this new book, Global Manifest Destiny, takes the reader to an even deeper understanding of the significance of globality and its inevitability for an healthy business environment.
The large and hands-on experience of the authors comes through every page and it makes for an unusually enjoyable read for its gender as well as a very profitable one.
We wish this book had been available few years ago. It would have helped us to avoid some pitfalls and a number of headaches.
If the world is your business theater, or you would like make it so, this book is for you!

This book is for executives contemplating the global expansion of their business, for pioneers that have already taken the leap, and for those more conservative types that have yet to acknowledge the inevitable. It rises to the top of a growing list of notable publications by providing a concise and experienced summary of the critical elements that define the successful company in a business world thwart with formidable foreign competition, increasingly demanding global customers, and accelerating information technology.

Refreshingly, the authors do not purport the answer to the challenge that faces an individual firm that is poised to grow beyond its domestic boundary or traditional business model. In contrast to this, they offer a range of vision for those seeking the expansion of their business to markets and customers outside their traditional geographical reach, doing so with a rational sense of urgency.

The book, which fits neatly in the frequent traveler's briefcase, provokes straightforward, leading edge thinking about practically creating an enduring and profitable future for a truly global business.

John Caslione clearly understands the value and the issues associated with maximizing your company's true global potential. This is a must read book.

Working as I do in many parts of the world means that I need to think differently and prepare in a way that makes sense of that market.

This book provides knowledge and insights.

After reading the first book from Caslione Thomas,"Growing Your Business in Emerging Market" , the new book "Global Manifest Destiny" is a logical continuation for a company journey to be successful in the International markets.
The book can be also useful to companies that think themselves as global and want to make a reality check of their "Global" capabilities.
Although treating a very complex subject Global Manifest Destiny, it remains very practical and with plenty of ideas ready to use.
