World of Opportunity:

How Doing Business In Developing Can Drive Positive Social, Environmental, and Economic Impact

While many well-meaning companies make an effort to invest in the developing world, most of what they do are half measures that only improve a few lives. GK Chairman and World of Opportunity author Yusuf Amdani writes about how his company has taken those initiatives to the next level by operating out of a developing nation, creating unprecedented opportunities for its people, and elevating life for all.

His book outlines an approach that’s as applicable to corporations wanting to make a real impact as it is to individuals with a dream of changing the world. With actionable detail and constant encouragement, Amdani’s approach sets a new standard for corporate social responsibility.

“This is the book for businesspeople and policy makers who want to make a difference in developing countries but don’t know how or where to start or implement. Yusuf Amdani’s experience and commitment hold many valuable lessons, perhaps the most fundamental being the importance of building, molding, and empowering a team according to basic principles of decency, transparency, and empathy. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but the successes described in this book and others in Mr. Amdani’s business life show that it can work with remarkable success.”
