America and Free Trade
“America as a whole will benefit more by sticking to the general principles of free trade, than by trying to erect walls”
“Protectionism would be counterproductive, but a policy of free trade is not enough by itself”
“To maintain their living standards, Americans will have to move vertically, not horizontally”
![Page 26: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
AND
THE FLAT WORLD

The Virgin of Guadalupe
Developing countries in the flat world: The Virgin of Guadalupe were being imported into Mexico
from China. Plastic Ramadan lanterns in Egypt are also made in China
![Page 43: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
43
Introspection
When developing countries start thinking about the challenge of flatism, the first thing they need to do is engage in some brutally honest introspection.
![Page 44: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Reform Wholesale
Broad macroeconomic reform
Initiated by a small handful of leaders in countries (China, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and India)
Push counties into more export-oriented, free-market strategies-base on privatization of state companies
![Page 45: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Reform wholesale
More open and competitive markets are the only sustainable vehicle for growing a nation out of poverty Decisions to open the Mexican economy
"To get rich is glorious,“---Deng Xiaoping
India's finance minister, Manmohan Singh, opened India's economy
![Page 46: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Reform Wholesale
As the world started to get smaller and flatter, reform wholesale was no longer sufficient to keep countries on a sustainable growth path
A deeper process of reform was required-a process called reform retail
![Page 47: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Reform Retail
Every region of the world has its strengths and weaknesses, and all are in need of reform retail to some degree
Reform retail requires a much wider base of public
It involves looking at four key aspects of your society: Infrastructure Regulatory institutions Education Culture
![Page 48: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Reform Retail
Five-step checklist for reform retail: Simplify and deregulate wherever possible in competitive
markets
Focus on enhancing property rights
Expand the use of the Internet for regulation fulfillment
Reduce court involvement in business matters
Make reform a continuous process
![Page 49: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Culture Matters: Glocalization
Two aspects of culture are particularly relevant in the flat world:To what degree is it open to foreign
influences and ideas.
How inward the culture is
![Page 50: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
Culture Matters: Glocalization
Exclusivity is a dangerous thing. (Former Chinese emperor)
Culture can change. It is a product of the context-geography, education level, leadership, and historical experience-of any society
![Page 51: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
The Intangible Things
Why does one country's skyline change overnight and another's doesn't change over half a century?------intangible things
China MexicoThousands of miles away
Burdened by overpopulation
Few natural resources
Burdensome debt legcy
Right next door to America
Free-trade agreement
Valuable natural resource
![Page 52: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
The Intangible Things
Qualities of intangible things: A society's ability and willingness to pull together
and sacrifice for the sake of economic development
The presence in a society of leaders with the vision to see what needs to be done in terms of development and the willingness to use power to push for change rather than to enrich themselves and preserve the status quo
How much your culture prizes education

How Companies Cope
If you want to grow and flourish in a flat world, you better learn how to change and align yourself with it
Rules and Strategies

Rule #1:Reach for shovel and dig inside yourself.
Competition is everywhere and the way is changing
Facing challenge brought by competition

Rule #3: The big shall act small
One way that big companies learn to flourish in the flat world is by learning how to act really small by enabling their customers to act really big

Rule #3: The big shall act small
What the company should do is to create a digital buffet to serve consumers (“self-directed”)

Rule #4: The best companies are the best collaborators
The next layer of value creation are becoming so complex that no single firm is going to be able to master them alone
![Page 61: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Rule #4: The best companies are the best collaborators
Combining more granular specialties to come up with valuable breakthrough
Case: “Rolls-Royce”

Rule #5: Getting regular chest X-rays and selling the results
X-ray your company and break down every component to identify “hot spots”
Keeping core competency and outsourcing the things that no longer made sense to do itself
![Page 63: The World is Flat – Thomas Friedman Doug DerrickAaron Elkins Shaokun FanNoyan Ilk Kunpeng ZhangDavid Zimbra.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e835503460f94b848df/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

Rule #6: The best companies outsource to win, not to shrink
They outsource to innovate faster and more cheaply in order to grow larger, gain market share, and
hire more and different
specialists – not to save
money by firing more
people

Rule #6: The best companies outsource to win, not to shrink
Two things to be doneDefending and extending core business and
continue to take care of customers;Making a giant leap to offer customers what
they are seeking for next.Using outsourcing is not defense but
playing offense
