Go global! Wywiady z twórcami polskich firm, które zdobyły rynki międzynarodowe
Krzysztof Rybiński
Gdy polski rynek okazuje się zbyt mały… Kiedy firma zaczyna spoglądać z ciekawością w stronę zagranicznego odbiorcy, zaczynają się koszty i kłopoty. To prawda, ale ekspansję na rynki zagraniczne rozpoczyna się nie po to, by stracić, lecz po to, by zyskać. Jak to zrobić skutecznie, wiedzą bohaterowie tej książki, założyciele i prezesi jedenastu polskich firm, którym udało się dokonać międzynarodowej ekspansji na szeroką skalę. Krzysztof Rybiński przedstawia tu historie ich drogi do sukcesu, zmagania z przeciwnościami gospodarczymi i proceduralnymi czy problemami finansowymi, sposoby przezwyciężania nieufności i różnic kulturowych, i wreszcie skuteczne, wypracowane przez lata metody na podbicie zagranicznych rynków zbytu. Zapoznanie się z tymi wywiadami pozwoli polskim firmom ograniczyć koszty ekspansji międzynarodowej, uniknąć kłopotów i odnieść sukces. Ta książka to także hołd oddany polskiej przedsiębiorczości i jej reprezentantom, którzy - choć zaczynali działalność lokalnie - potrafili myśleć globalnie i patrzeć poza granice naszego kraju. Prof. Krzysztof Rybiński - jeden z najbardziej znanych polskich ekonomistów. Karierę zawodową rozpoczynał jako informatyk w Japonii, potem był głównym ekonomistą kilku banków, wiceprezesem NBP, gdzie pod jego nadzorem zmieniono sposób inwestowania rezerw dewizowych, dzięki czemu Polska w ciągu dwóch lat zarobiła dodatkowo miliard dolarów. Był członkiem Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego, partnerem w globalnej firmie doradczej i członkiem wielu rad nadzorczych. Obecnie jest rektorem Akademii Finansów i Biznesu Vistula, w której studiuje 5000 studentów z 40 krajów. Prowadzi też własną firmę doradczą.
