| Why it’s on the list | Po Chung, co-founder of DHL International, generalises from building its network outside the Americas: what a global network business actually is, why a service network cannot be run like a product company, and what has to be designed deliberately — hand-offs, standards, local ownership, a service culture that survives translation — to operate across borders rather than merely sell across them. |
Where I heard about it
- @mastersinvest — in bold (his mark for “very good”) on his “2025 Reading … so far” list, annotated “Po Chung, founder DHL International”, August 2025. It pairs with the other DHL book on the list, Jane Chung’s company history. Full list: 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).
About this edition

Connections
- 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
