  • Globalization in Transition: the Future of Trade and Value Chains
    GLOBALIZATION IN TRANSITION: THE FUTURE OF TRADE AND VALUE CHAINS JANUARY 2019 AboutSince itsMGI founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel, and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, and Jaana Remes are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan and Jeongmin Seong are MGI senior fellows. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey offices around the world.

  • The Tall Ship Glenlee Large Print Guide This Guide Will Follow The
    The Tall Ship Glenlee Large Print Guide This guide will follow the one-way system currently in place. The interpretation text for our two exhibitions are at the back of this guide. Please return this guide to the ticket pavilion at the end of your visit. Welcome Sign ‘Sail back in time’ Glenlee is a lucky ship. Once one of over 700 Clydebuilt steel barques, just five still remain. These ships carried cargoes over all of the world and overcame nature and mishaps alike. Like the ships of steel, the crew who sailed them were also made of stern stuff. Glenlee, like Cutty Sark, the only other square- rigged cargo vessel in the UK, survived by finding use as a training ship. Now returned to the Clyde, Glenlee is a museum ship representing Scotland and Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage and maritime tradition. Step back in time and enjoy your visit. Forward Deckhouse ‘I heard the seas coming aboard in the forenoon and heard that Jock had got his bunk wet. I have had that experience on one or two occasions and find it rather unpleasant.’ Extract from the 1918 personal log of Ernest M Andersen, an apprentice on board this ship. Up to 16 men would eat, sleep and spend what little leisure time they had in this deckhouse. During their free time, sailors would play instruments, craft model ships, and play cards. Scrimshaw was also a popular pastime. This involved soaking a whale’s tooth, walrus tusk, or other bone in brine to soften it. It was then engraved using a sharp needle.
