The World is NOT Flat! - Reader's Response

My dear friend Anand comments:

"read ghemawats article and have read friedman's book but comparisons amongst them is immature..... Both composition capture different dimensions of the industry. For instance at one sphere Telecom business world over would appear completely flat considering the stage of movement of the underlying technology being used and the evolution path per se...but at the ground level the target markets are so different...infact almost....same in the power business and infrastructure if we look at logistics....world is not flat....though almost ...:-)

keep up your great work......"


Anand works with Darashaw Securities, and one of the best financial minds I have seen. Thanks Anand.
