(GLOBAL INSIGHTS)(Global Development Network) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 Lynne Rienner Publishers This article explores a generic issue in the context of a specific case, that of the Global Development Network (GDN). The issue is this: How can a global, centralized organization help build the capacity of local, independent institutions and individuals throughout the developing world without imposing an externally driven agenda or indeed stifling the indigenous initiative it is supposed to promote? Perhaps the best illustration of this tension is the relationship between the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the countries whose development they are seeking to assist. These organizations attempt to build capacity and support home-grown strategies, but their efforts are often characterized as heavy-handed, top-down, and centrally driven. Any attempt by a global organization to build local capacity must balance a “hand-holding” and a “hands-off” approach. The challenge is especially tricky in the case of GDN. The organization is supposed to empower researchers in the developing and transition countries to conduct independent research in the social sciences. The key word here is “independent”: good research must be both de facto independent and perceived to be independent.

It is also the story of a company that we believe is unique among American retailers. We have a unique strategy, one that has provided a sustainable competitive advantage in the past and one which we think will continue to do so in the future. It starts with our vision which is to own the home. Over the past 25 years, we have grown our business from about 4 million to 3. 5 billion this year. We have grown faster than the industry, faster than our peers and faster than our competition, and we believe we will be able to continue to do so in the future because we are different from other retailers in three very important ways, and what I would like to do this morning in the short time that we have with you is to share how these differences create long-term shareholder value. We are focused on the home market.
