Launching Global Class in Vietnam
In tandem with the launch of Global Class in Vietnam, Klaus took the stage at the CSMO Summit Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City to share his insights on successful global growth in front of 1,500+ attendees from business, academia, and consulting agencies. He also presented the book to the country’s most important business leaders at the Vietnam National Assembly Television, the Academy of Journalism and Communication, and the book launch event by Alpha Books.
Why Vietnam?
Klaus Wehage, Global Class co-founding partner and co-author said, “Vietnam was a special place for me because my interpreneurial career started there, helping the Carlsberg Group with their local market strategy.”
“Now that the book is available in Vietnam, we are looking forward to transforming how companies are built, scaled, and expanded across the ecosystem,” said co-founding partner and co-author Aaron McDaniel.
Entitled, “Global Class: How The World's Fastest-Growing Companies Scale Globally by Focusing Locally”, the book teaches the mindset, culture, and strategies to successfully build global businesses. Through case studies and insights from over 400 of the world's fastest-growing companies, Global Class illuminates what the new class of successful global businesses ("Global Class Companies") do to succeed, who are part of their high-performing teams, and how they do it.
The Story Behind The Vietnamese Translation
The Vietnamese edition of the book is the result of a multi-month collaboration between the authors and Alpha Books. Special mention to Le Quốc Vinh (Chairman & CEO, Le Group of Companies), Nguyen Canh Binh, Ta Lien Huong, Huynh Thi Xuân Liên, Minh Hương, as well as Global Class City Leads Tri Dung, Tran and Ngan Le Huynh Kim who helped make this publication possible.
It was a substantial effort that included translating the entire 350+ page English manuscript, all footnotes, and several dozen graphs and tables. Klaus and Aaron led a group of translators and designers through every part of the book and worked with Alpha Books to make the book available for sale in Vietnam, with the ultimate goal of supporting Vietnamese businesses to expand globally.
