The Future is Totally Up in the Air
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009The World Is Truly Flat and things are agitated at the speed of light. In the aggregation The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman, he talks about the international shipping consort UPS. Most people conceive of UPS is meet a shipping company, still they do so such more then advise boxes. They are a distribution hub for enterprises and other diminutive businesses. They are actually at the center of operations in a lot of recent companies.
Meaning no longer does UPS meet ship products and parts. They actually assemble the parts for their clients and ship the finish product to the consumer. They are truly 6 inches” apart from the consumer. They do this with great savings for their client.
In this newborn world nothing is what it seems. The people who control these hubs and networks are kings. Google is another great example. People conceive that Google is a scheme company, existing primary online. When really Google is digit of the biggest network, and element consort out there. Google’s infrastructure, its vast array of computer farms, is what separates them from their competitors. It’s why their consort is so valuable, and not easily duplicated.
In this newborn Technological Revolution, you have to conceive outside of the box. Never have you had so many resources at your disposal. You crapper outsource anything, and belie should. Like my brother tells me, the great companies of tomorrow are those that know what to outsource and what to do them.
