Arm Yourself for the Coming Battle over Social Security (Spanish version)
Pozen, Robert C.Article HBS-R0211CEconomicsThe U.S. Social Security system is in deep trouble--and that's not just bad news for your friends and family. It's also bad news for your company. Unless the Social Security system is changed, by 2041 the system will be utterly insolvent. In the next decade, the very prospect of the rising deficit will mean serious pressure on recent tax cuts, higher long-term interest rates, increased pension-funding costs, and other punishing conditions for U.S...Starting at €8.20

AIDS Is Your Business (Spanish version)
Rosen, Sydney; Simon, Jonathon; Vincent, Jeffrey R.; MacLeod, William; Fox, Matthew; Thea, Donald M.Article HBS-R0302FEconomicsIf your company operates in a developing country, AIDS is your business. Although Africa has received the most attention, AIDS is also spreading swiftly in other parts of the world. Why should executives be concerned about AIDS? Because it is destroying the twin rationales of globalization strategy--cheap labor and fast-growing markets--in countries where people are heavily affected by the epidemic. Fortunately, investments in programs that preve...Starting at €8.20

In Search of Global Leaders (Spanish version)
Green, Stephen; Hassan, Fred; Immelt, Jeffrey; Marks, Michael; Meiland, DanielArticle HBS-R0308BEconomicsFor all the talk about global organizations and executives, there's no definitive answer to the question of what we really mean by "global." A presence in multiple countries? Cultural adaptability? A multilingual top team? We asked four CEOs and the head of an international recruiting agency--HSBC's Stephen Green, Schering-Plough's Fred Hassan, GE's Jeffrey Immelt, Flextronics' Michael Marks, and Egon Zehnder's Daniel Meiland--to tell us what the...Starting at €8.20

Abraham Lincoln and the Global Economy (Spanish version)
Hormats, Robert D.Article HBS-R0308DEconomicsAbraham Lincoln would have well understood the challenges facing many modern emerging nations. In Lincoln's America, as in many developing nations today, sweeping economic change threatened older industries, traditional ways of living, and social and national cohesion by exposing economies and societies to new and powerful competitive forces. Yet even in the midst of the brutal and expensive American Civil war--and in part because of it--Lincoln ...Starting at €8.20

Turning Gadflies into Allies (Spanish version)
Yaziji, MichaelArticle HBS-R0402JEconomicsMultinational companies are the driving force behind globalization, but they are also the source of many of its most painful consequences, including currency crises, cross-border pollution, and overfishing. These problems remain unsolved because they are beyond the scope of individual governments; transnational organizations have also proved unequal to the task. Nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations have leaped into the breach. To force policy...Starting at €8.20

Strategies That Fit Emerging Markets (Spanish version)
Khanna, Tarun; Palepu, Krishna G.; Sinha, JayantArticle HBS-R0506CEconomicsThey lack specialized intermediaries, regulatory systems, and contract-enforcing methods. These gaps have made it difficult for multinationals to succeed in developing nations; thus, many companies have resisted investing there. That may be a mistake. If Western companies don't come up with good strategies for engaging with emerging markets, they are unlikely to remain competitive. Many firms choose their markets and strategies for the wrong rea...Starting at €8.20

China + India: el poder combinado
Khanna, TarunArticle HBS-R0712DEconomicsChina e India están enterrando el hacha de guerra después de poco más de cuatro décadas de hostilidad. Algunas compañías de ambos países se han apresurado a obtener ventajas competitivas mediante la visualización de los dos como simbiótica. Si las corporaciones occidentales no pueden hacer lo mismo, van a perder su ventaja competitiva - y no sólo en China e India, sino a nivel mundial. El problema es que la mayoría de las empresas y consultores s...Starting at €8.20

El descenso de las finanzas
Ferguson, NiallArticle HBS-R0907DEconomics¿Qué pasa si la actual recesión resulta ser igual que la Gran Depresión de 1929-1933? Cuatro años a partir de ahora, los Estados Unidos podrían encontrarse con una economía aún se contrae, la mitad de los bancos como en 2009, una tercera parte de los fondos de cobertura, y la banca minorista se asemeja a un servicio público. La deuda federal podría ser de $ 20 billones de dólares, la tasa máxima sobre los ingresos de impuestos al 45%, y el S & P ...Starting at €8.20

El capitalismo fugitivo
Meyer, Christopher; Kirby, JuliaArticle HBS-R1201CEconomicsEl capitalismo sigue siendo el sistema más potente, flexible y robusta para la conducción de la prosperidad de amplia base y la mejora de la calidad de vida. Pero mantener el capitalismo en la pista dependerá de nuestra capacidad para replantearse las prioridades que guía cada uno en el sistema, desde los empresarios a los reguladores a los inversores. En particular, tendremos que desacelerar las actividades precipitados de la competencia y el RO...Starting at €8.20

Finding Your Company's Second Act (Spanish version)
Downes, Larry; Nunes, PaulArticle HBS-R1801GEconomicsAccelerating technological improvements have changed the speed with which new innovations penetrate markets. Graphed over time, the market adoption of innovations now resembles a dramatic shark fin--a dangerously deformed version of the classic bell-curve model of diffusion. Two forces have compressed the bell curve: near-instant market saturation by new products and the rapid obsolescence of digital components. As a result, many companies strugg...Starting at €8.20
