Beyond the multinational corporationeven beyond the mega-corporation built from aggressive mergers and acquisitionsa new form of global business is emerging, and it is changing the competitive landscape forever. In his visionary book, The Trillion-Dollar Enterprise, Cyrus Freidheim offers a front-row seat to this seismic shift, through which a few dominant enterprises will control two-thirds of the global market in their respective industries. But they won't be corporations as we've known them. They will be vast networks of corporate alliancesglobal coalitions of independent firms acting in concert as single entities, and combining assets that exceed the entire output of many nations.Drawing from fifteen years of groundbreaking research at Booz-Allen &amp; Hamilton, Freidheim convincingly demonstrates that the rise of networks of this magnitude is natural and inevitable, as companies forego traditionaland riskiermethods of expansion in favor of alliances, joint ventures, and other collaborative arrangements that capture the best capabilities of the participants while avoiding the bureaucratic disadvantages of size. Already, we are witnessing the convergence in industries as diverse as telecommunications, aerospace, and commercial aviation into alliance networks, clustered around a few dominant players. For example, the global airline industry is coalescing around networks, led by United and Lufthansa in the Star Alliance and by American Airlines and British Airways in another.From the global stage, Freidheim takes up deep into the heart of ”Trillion-Dollar Enterprises” in development, identifying the key elements of successful network formation, and outlining new roles and responsibilities for managers, executives, teams and boards. Freidheim ultimately calls for revolutionary changes in how business leaders should be educated and rewarded, as the skills of diplomacy and negotiation take priority over functional expertise.In his provocative conclusion, Freidheim takes us twenty-five years into the future to explore looming public issues as the forces of commercial globalization and political sovereignty collide, challenging existing paradigms of anti-trust, trade, and labor policiesand even national security.

Matt Holt

A son, grandson, brother, husband, father, cousin, nephew, uncle, in-law, godfather and grandfather. A businessman in the often misunderstood profession of management consultant. A member of communities — schools and teams, the military, the church, the cities he lived in, the companies he worked with, the clubs he belonged to, the civic, business and charitable organizations he served. Cyrus Freidheim is all of these, and with Notes from Grandpa – Preparing for Your Tomorrows, he is also a teacher, passing on a lifetime of knowledge and experience to those he loves most and hopes will benefit throughout their lifetimes. Notes from Grampa is a story of taking the roads less traveled, some by chance and some by design, but all with boundless enthusiasm, unwavering commitment, and the optimism that comes from living up to the high standards you set for yourself. It is also a gathering of life’s valuable lessons, a roadmap of sorts to navigate the smooth spots and rough spots, to conquer the challenges, and to emerge happier and wiser for all your experiences. This book is a gift to those getting started on the road of life, to the grandchildren who bring certainty that life’s possibilities will never end, but are passed on through one generation to be taken up by the next. “We all start as beginners or apprentices at the bottom of the ladder,” Cyrus Freidheim writes. Notes from Grandpa offers those cupped hands that get us started on the first step, the sage voice that guides us higher, and the invisible hand that steadies the ladder throughout. It is wisdom, coming from the heart, and meant with unconditional love for those who inhabit its pages. It is priceless. Use it wisely.
