One of the expressions we hear rather often in business
world is "think global".
This expression may be considered a reference to benefiting from
global opportunities, being open to novelties and going beyond
local markets however the first thing to do is to build the system
on sound institutional ground and make it controllable to allow for
necessary openings and healthy growth, be it global or not. The
keyword here is "control". Nothing beyond one's
control shall belong to one in the long run.
The word "control" has become a part of each and every
aspect of our lives. Controlled crossing, losing control, internal
control, control panel, control director, control group, out of
control, control system, control point... These are what come to my
mind at first thought...
