Renowned management consultant Kenichi Ohmae is making an impassioned plea to the world’s national governments: Get out of the way so consumers and businesses can create prosperity in the 21st Century.
As a McKinsey & Co. officer and prolific author, Ohmae taught corporations to look beyond borders for success in globalised markets. Now he warns that national governments are obsolete, more likely to stifle prosperity than to nurture it. For citizens to thrive in the next century, national governments must cease protecting inefficient enterprises and must allow wealth to be created in new regional economies, many of which sweep across national boundaries, Ohmae says.
Born in Japan, Ohmae earned a B.S. at Waseda University, an M.S. at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and a doctorate at MIT. He co-founded McKinsey’s strategic management practice, became chairman of the firm’s Japanese offices and advised corporations and governments in Asia, Europe and North America. He left McKinsey in 1994 and now devotes his energies to his own consulting practice, his writing, and government reform campaigns in Japan.
Ohmae published the best-selling The Mind of the Strategist before turning 30 and has authored more than 60 books during his career, most recently The End of the Nation State: The Rise of Regional Economies.
