中文简介:

很有可能让班加罗尔的Bhavya读下一张X光片,或者如Thomas Friedman亲眼所见,“奶奶贝蒂穿着浴袍”将在您的盐湖城家中为您预订Jet Blue飞机。弗里德曼认为,在“全球化3.0”中,来自遥远地方的人们将成为市场的主要参与者。弗里德曼(Friedman)在他的最新著作《世界平坦》中描述了技术和社会变革的计划外级联,有效地拉平了经济世界,并“无意间使北京,班加罗尔和贝塞斯达成为了邻国”。今天,“彩虹的各种颜色的个人和小团体都可以即插即用。”弗里德曼(Friedman)的“扁平地毯”清单包括柏林墙的倒塌; Netscape的崛起和互联网泡沫的兴起,导致对光缆的投资达到一万亿美元;通用软件平台和开放源代码的出现促进了全球协作;以及外包,离岸外包,供应链和外包的兴起。弗里德曼说,这些扁平化工具在2000年左右融合在一起,并“创造了一个扁平的世界:一个全球性的,基于Web的平台,可以以多种形式共享知识和工作,而与时间,距离,地理位置和语言的增长无关。”在这个平台出现的那一刻,三个巨大的经济体成为了印度,中国和前苏联的经济体,“有30亿没有参与游戏的人走上了战场。”最终的融合可能会决定全球化的最后这一章中美国的命运。弗里德曼(Friedman)形容这是一场“政治上的完美风暴”,互联网泡沫破灭,9/11袭击和安然(Enron)丑闻“完全分散了我们作为一个国家的注意力”。只是当我们需要面对全球化的事实以及在新世界中竞争的需要时,“我们正将目光投向其他地方。”

课程简介: Chances are good that Bhavya in Bangalore will read your next x-ray, or as Thomas Friedman learned first hand, “Grandma Betty in her bathrobe” will make your Jet Blue plane reservation from her Salt Lake City home. In “Globalization 3.0,” Friedman contends, people from far-flung places will become principal players in the marketplace. In his latest book, The World is Flat, Friedman describes the unplanned cascade of technological and social shifts that effectively leveled the economic world, and “accidentally made Beijing, Bangalore and Bethesda next-door neighbors.” Today, “individuals and small groups of every color of the rainbow will be able to plug and play.” Friedman’s list of “flatteners” includes the fall of the Berlin Wall; the rise of Netscape and the dotcom boom that led to a trillion dollar investment in fiber optic cable; the emergence of common software platforms and open source code enabling global collaboration; and the rise of outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining and insourcing. Friedman says these flatteners converged around the year 2000, and “created a flat world: a global, web-enabled platform for multiple forms of sharing knowledge and work, irrespective of time, distance, geography and increasingly, language.” At the very moment this platform emerged, three huge economies materialized -- those of India, China and the former Soviet Union --“and three billion people who were out of the game, walked onto the playing field.” A final convergence may determine the fate of the U.S. in this final chapter of globalization. A “political perfect storm,” as Friedman describes it -- the dotcom bust, the attacks of 9/11, and the Enron scandal -- “distract us completely as a country.” Just when we need to face the fact of globalization and the need to compete in a new world, “we’re looking totally elsewhere.”
