A World of Perspective Wharton’s Mauro Guillén on thriving in emerging economies.
At a recent meeting with Indian CEOs in Mumbai, Professor Mauro Guillén was asked to put the decline of the U.S. dollar into perspective. “Wouldn’t you want to be able to write checks that nobody deposits because people keep them in a safe place as a store of value?”
This simple yet cogent reply is typical of Guillén, the Dr. Felix Zandman Professor in International Management, Professor of Management and Sociology, and the new director of Wharton’s Joseph H. Lauder Institute for Management & International Studies.
When Guillén is not teaching and running the Lauder Institute, he is researching issues related to multinational corporations and the global economy. Guillén is author of the noted book, The Rise of Spanish Multinationals: European Business in the Global Economy, as well as many op-eds and articles on the subject. Increasingly, his advice and commentary are sought around the world.
