Serving Two Masters ── Local Sovereign, Global Subject

The executive who climbed through the organization now stands at the summit of a global pharmaceutical company's local affiliate. Seen from the local side, a sovereign of the firm. Seen from global headquarters, a single subject placed under strict governance. Headquarters demands sales and profit and, at the same time, rigorous compliance ── caught between two orders to press the accelerator and the brake at once, carrying the gap between local context and global standard, this is the conflict of one who is at once king and vassal. In ten parts.
