A must read for anyone in international business

I had the pleasure to meet Sandrine Tesner in NYC last May, where she told me the book will be published and we talked about international business.As business people we have the tendency to regard the UN as an international organization involved in the "big" issues.Sandrine makes very clear in her book on how the world is becoming together and how a truly partnership is needed. Yes, business contribution individually can be regarded very small but as is rightly pointed is a very powerful mechanism to make small contributions to a better world.The book is direct, very well written and ilustrates the powerful instrument that the UN can, and should be.A must to any international business people.
