ChangeThis Bonus Issue 40
This month, ChangeThis offers a bonus issue that presents two
arguments about the growing globalization of business. Each
manifesto presents a differing point of view about the level
of current interconnectedness and the strategies that need to
be employed. While these manifestos were not written to respond
to one another, the opportunity to issue them side by side was
an intriguing one. We hope you agree.

Competing in a Flat World: The Perils and Promise
of Global Supply Chains
By Victor Fung, William Fung and Yoram (Jerry) Wind
The recent recall of Mattel toys made in China is proof
that modern supply chains are complex and require more
than mastering work flow and logistics. Here, the authors
offer that In a flat world, the world is our factory, and
a new focus on networks, a balance between control and
empowerment and optimizing value through integration.

The Hard Reality of Semiglobalization…And how to profit from it
By Pankaj Ghemawat
Pankaj Ghemawat does not believe the world is simply flat, instead asserts that “the complex world of semiglobalization offers a far richer palette of business opportunities than a simple “borderless” world of uniformity and ubiquity.” In this manifesto, he offers an antidote by addressing what still matters: distance and difference.
