Tomas Hult speaks with Ram Mudambi, Frank M Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University. They discuss global knowledge connectivity and local outcomes. Dr. Mudambi suggests that that the fundamental change that has occurred, and is continuing to occur around us, is that the world is becoming increasingly connected through organizations, people, technology and social media.
