The functional and geographic boundaries separating consumers, providers, payers and other healthcare stakeholders are rapidly dissolving. The healthcare industry has acted slower than many other industries, such as manufacturing and services, to reach out globally to exchange ideas, develop new business models and collaborate more closely — and with greater flexibility — with other stakeholders. Today the imperative to compete in quality and value compels payers to seek global partners and pipelines — and new customers.
Paradoxically, leading-edge companies have discovered that the rapid expansion of global business requires investing time and money to develop the right local talent to manage these emerging-market businesses.
