Chapter 1 - While I Was Sleeping
Jason sent us these notes on chapter 1:
Chapter one is an overview of what has been happening in globalization. These are some of the topics I wanted to discuss and so will share them in this medium.
On page 8, there is a quote I would like you to reflect on:
“But I was also excited personally, because what the flattening of the world means is that we are now connecting all the knowledge centers on the planet together into a single global network, which - if politics and terrorism do not get in the way - could usher in an amazing era of prosperity, innovation, and collaboration, by companies, communities, and individuals.”
The power of many is much greater than the power of one. We need to embrace this! Leadership should be our mission in this era of globalization.
Page 9:
Globalization 1.0 – 1492 – 1800
Globalization 2.0 – 1800 – 2000
Globalization 3.0 – 2000 – present
Quote from page 11 on Globalization 3.0 – Individuals from every corner of the flat world are being empowered. You are going to see every color of the human rainbow take part.
Review what makes these periods significant.
Page 20 – Inset Story
Discuss how jobs become mundane and how that compares with creativity of opening the way for new opportunities.
Wal-mart impact. Mom and Pop restaurants vs. chains. Agricultural changes.
Page 31 – Remote Assistants
Page 32 – Dalian China is to Japan what Bangalore India is to America. Even through the ill feelings brought by previous war.
Page 34 – Dalian has 22 Universities and over 200,000 students mostly majoring in science and engineering.
Page 35 – Quote that Chinese youngsters are more ambitious than the Americans or Japanese.
Page 37-38 – Homesourcing vs. Outsourcing
Using the resources of those wanting to stay home but still be productive income bearers in the community/household.
Page 39 – Drones flown over Iraq are controlled by people in Las Vegas.
Page 40 – McDonalds call center is taking orders in drive-throughs and at tables.
Page 42 – Online outsourced Tutoring (Could be MUCH discussion on this topic!)
Page 45 – Leveling the playing field – The little guy can now compete with big business. Example on this page is of the Independent Journalist who can get the scoop in the field faster than the big networks for much less money.
I also wanted to discuss what can we do as a service unit to stay in the curve.
