Reseña del libro "The Geopolitical Advantage (en Inglés)"
The world is now part of your business plan. Few companies can still treat world events as a distant backdrop. A sanctions package can close a market within days. Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea can delay deliveries to factories across Europe. Export controls on semiconductors can determine which suppliers a firm is permitted to use. Questions once reserved for diplomats now arrive on the desks of managers who never expected to deal with foreign policy. Drawing on more than thirty years of experience in diplomacy, international industry and strategic consulting, Charles Salvaudon offers business leaders a rigorous framework for understanding these developments. He examines the fragmentation of the international order, the growing role of the state in economic affairs, and the emergence of energy, raw materials, data and artificial intelligence as instruments of power between nations. He then considers the implications for the company itself: its supply chains, its reputation, its investment decisions, and the governance of risk at board level. The book goes on to set out a practical method for analysing and governing geopolitical risk and for building a more resilient organisation. It is supported by ten detailed case studies, from Ukraine and Taiwan to the Sahel and the European Union, together with analysis matrices, a scenario-planning methodology and a region-by-region overview of emerging risks. The Geopolitical Advantage is written for executives, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals in strategy, risk management, audit and communications who need a clearer understanding of how world affairs shape the decisions they make. About the author Charles Salvaudon holds a PhD in Political Science and advises international think tanks on geopolitical matters. He teaches geopolitics at Albert School - Mines Paris and at institutions in Geneva, Madrid and Milan. His career spans diplomacy in Washington, D.C., senior roles in international industry, and high-level consulting.
