Va helveg mand, så snak dog dansk!;)

Anyways, I found it rather amusing to read about the feeding of the bottom layers of the pyramide, and it made me question the value of this book.

Point number 5, saves the day though…

“Our well known business models will not work any more and we need to challenge our own business models.”

I would just repeat that over and over and forget about pyramids.

The Idea that globalisation have brought anything positive about, is completely idiotic but also dangerous.
I do not understand, how in times like these, anyone would opt for globalisation. PLease have a look at the american economy, and dwell for a moment at the fact, that they have lost their means of production, they are no longer able to sustain themselves and no one in their right mind, is willing to trade their goods for dollars.

Globalisation means the destruction of nation states as we know them, Im not entirely behind that idea.

Regarding bringing in fresh voices from outside the company, how about using Web 2.0 even more? A McKinsey Global Survey shows, for example, that 69 percent of respondents report that their companies have gained measurable business benefits from Web 2.0. Over half of the companies in the survey plan to increase their investments in Web 2.0 technologies.

Speaking of innovation, how about turning the library into a digital learning center with a coffee shop

One challenge for governments could be to involve the people even more. Besides using, for example, Twitter and blogs, open innovation portals could be used.

Realy interesting and open-minded thougths. I agree completely with you.
This morning I watched to a discussion about globalisation in the world. The last 30 years have been used by big inter-/multinational companys to live with globalisation and to take its advantage out of it. The next step in globalisation would be that our governements are going to fit into the new globalized world-order where no more frontiers exist. Your take-outs from the book are dealing with company-based facts. But what do you think about the public/countries? what are your thoughts about globalizing and connecting not companys but countries in the future?
A question on the book, are there some negative aspects about globality? Are there any risks or negative aspects on competing everyone everywhere?

Regarding # 7, I read this on the website of Johnson & Johnson:

“We recognize that differences in age, race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, physical ability, thinking style and background bring richness to our work environments. Such differences help us connect better with the health needs of people in communities around the world”.
