Abstract
In response to the challenge to make globalisation work for all, a new type of organi-sation is emerging, called Global Action Networks (GANs). These networks cross important divides such as developed–developing countries, business–government– civil society, cultures and knowledge disciplines. Their core work includes the creation of large-scale profound change that is needed to address global challenges and develop opportunities. Issues include sustainability, corruption, poverty and health. GANs represent a major shift from a ‘Government World ’ where government is the key arbitrator, to a ‘Governance World ’ where power is shared. This paper explores their key characteristics, why they are important for business and their implications for business.
