The trillion-dollar enterprise: An interview with Booz.Allen & Hamilton's Vice Chairman,Cyrus F. Freidheim,Jr.

The Trillion-Dollar Enterprise: How The Alliance Revolution Will Transform Global Business by Cyrus F. Freidheim, Jr. (Reading, Massachusetts: Perseus Books; 1998. pp. xiii + 253. ISBN 0-7382-0004-2, Price: $25.00) is an interesting, timely, and provocative book that uncovers the alliance revolution and other forms of cooperative activities taking place in global business. The work is one of the first genuine attempts to share many years of a groundbreaking research at Booz.Allen & Hamilton on corporate networks, interorganizational alliances, and cooperative activities of global companies. The concept of the trillion-dollar enterprise that Freidheim convincingly puts forward provides a refreshing and new addition to the lexicon of global business. In this interview with Thunderbird International Business Review's Book Editor, Syed Tariq Anwar, Freidheim describes the trillion-dollar enterprise, its place in the twenty-first century, and its future impact on world industries. Freidheim predicts that the trillion-dollar enterprise will change the way companies do business in the domestic and international markets. Alliances, corporate networks, and megaventures will be the name of the game in the future, eventually bringing new types of companies and competitive environments that will have a lasting effect on multinational corporations (MNCs) as well as consumers. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
