Strategy and Change: Really, it’s Globalization truth?
Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Orleans, Orval, Tours, Nantes, back to Tours, back to Paris to finally go to sleep again at home, in front of the soothing sea of Barcelona … And all that in 9 days. And all that to be able to talk with 6 persons, face to face during no more than 2 hours with some of them. And can all that not be done via a video conference? NO. Can it not be done via e- mail?
