The counter argument put forward also brought to the fore that despite the recession firms are hitching to go global with different and varied reasons as saturated markets, desire to increase market share and the benefit of economic of scales. The report also witnessed how global leaders can be developed supported by industrial-base examples, theories of leadership and what leaders should do when going global.
