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\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eUlrich Steger\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Alcan Chair of Environmental Management at IMD. \u003cst1:country-region w:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:place w:st=\"on\"\u003eSwitzerland\u003c\/st1:place\u003e\u003c\/st1:country-region\u003e, and is Director of the school's research project on Corporate Sustainability Management.
