Review the Friedman lecture, “The World is Flat” (link provided below).
Friedman explains how technology has flattened the global business environment.
The video is long and the first 10 minutes are a bit slow as he discusses the flatteners, but once you understand the flatteners, Friedman discusses a number of global businesses including UPS, Southwest Airlines, and many more companies.
This video will drive home the importance of technology in business today.
In your post, discuss the following questions:
Do you agree or disagree with Friedman’s assessment that the world is flat? Be sure to justify your answer.
What are the potential impacts of a flat world for a student performing a job search?
What can students do to prepare themselves for competing in a flat world?
