On the source of the phrase, Global VillageAs to the origin of the term “global village” in McLuhan’s work. it has been variously attributed, to Teilhard de Chardin, for example. He did not get it from Teilhard, however. As far as I have been able to ascertain, it comes from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake or else from P.

Bohmans Nätverk

Thomas Johansson styr över rockkonserter för mångmiljardbelopp.
Efter flera decennier som konsertfixare är han en av branschens
tyngsta makthavare globalt. I en exklusiv intervju för Veckans
Affärer varnar han för att vi inom bara några år får se biljettpriser
på 10 000 kronor. Om världsartisterna ens kommer till Sverige.

En bransch känd för excesser är Thomas Johansson nästan provocerande lågmäld. Han promenerar en timme med sin hund varje morgon. Dricker inte ens lättöl fem dagar i veckan. Bär alltid jeans, en enkel tröja och ett välvårdat skägg.

Han höjer inte rösten i onödan. Ingen sägs heller vara lika bra på att bevara hemligheter och förtroenden. Många kallar honom för en mussla. Kanske är det därför han i dag har en telefonbok som många skulle döda för.

För snart 25 år sedan kom fyra långhåriga, fattiga irländare till Sverige för att spela in en video i Norrland. I Stockholm gick de upp till EMA Telstar och bad att få låna lite pengar. Videon hette “Under a blood red sky” och skulle bli U2:s allra först video.

“Vi köpte tågbiljetter så att de kunde åka till Åre och lånade ut lite instrument. När de senare spelade på Hovet trodde deras revisor att något var fel eftersom vi fått så bra deal och Bono förklarade
att det var som tack för hjälpen. Vi hade lagt ut 10 000 kronor, vilket i slutändan gav oss stora pengar”, säger han.

Mats Lederhausen

After many years as both a joint venture partner and senior executive of McDonald’s Corp. (where he played a key role in one of the most successful corporate turnarounds in recent history), Mats Lederhausen formed BE-CAUSE, a company focused on building businesses with a purpose bigger than their product. Mats also serves as Chairman of the Board of Business for Social Responsibility and on the board of trustees of Ronald McDonald House Charities. He was named one of Crain’s Chicago Business’ “40 under 40” to watch, and the World Economic Forum honored him as a “Global Leader of Tomorrow” in 2000.

Chipotle/Lederhausen

Filed under: Biography

one of Chipotle’s strongest supporters is Mats Lederhausen, who as managing director of McDonald’s Ventures straddles the world of traditional fast food and more contemporary outlets like Chipotle and Pret A Manger, a British sandwich chain that is also part-owned by McDonald’s. By e-mail, Lederhausen, a Chipotle director, told me that that he thinks the company’s values are vital to its success.

Chipotle, he says, is “one of the best examples in the marketplace of a business with deeper values, deeper meaning and ultimately deeper connections with their customer base, WITHOUT being pretentious, boring or finger pointing.”

“Any business that can define a purpose bigger than their product,” he says, “will outperform businesses that are just selling product.”
