I agree with Friedman’s appraisal that the universe is level. Harmonizing to Friedman a “flat world” mean that there is now a degree planetary competitory playing field. It has now become really possible for many people around the universe to join forces and vie in existent clip with each other on many different sorts of work. markets and merchandises from many different corners of the planet and on a more equal terms than at any old clip in the history of the universe. Due to technological progresss. the planetary fiscal market has been refined with electronic exchanges. webs. establishments. and communications. While each state may hold its ain fiscal market. the universe is now so closely tied together. doing planetary effects when one market is thriving or enduring e. g the Euro crisis. Whereas invention and scientific innovations used to be done in the developed universe. the underdeveloped universe is now catching up as more and more people are being trained in the vitally of import Fieldss of mathematics and scientific discipline.

Globalization that used to be mostly controlled by European and American persons and concerns is now being driven by a more diverse non-Western. colored group of persons Technology has besides leveled the playing field and made the universe to be level in that any company can do its merchandises available to the whole universe in a affair of seconds. It is up to the to consumers to take from whom to purchase from. The cyberspace and related engineerings make it possible to carry on concern across the organizations’ boundaries about as efficient and efficaciously as it is to carry on concern within the organisation. Location is no longer a restricting factor in how organisations design. develop and bring forth goods and services. With the cyberspace it is now possible to keep close relationships with providers and other concern spouses at great distances. States like China and India have truly redefined the manner concern is being conducted all over the universe. Many developing states are seeking are now seeking to vie with India in for clients who would desire to outsource their concern maps to them. Many companies. particularly in USA and Europe. have moved their production from their place states to China. where it can be done with cheaper labour. lower revenue enhancements. subsidised energy. and lower health-care costs.

This is an chance available to any state that can offer the same inducements as China. Technology has besides made it possible practical communities to be developed in which collaborate and develop the same merchandise working from virtually different parts of the universe and be able to offer such a merchandise to the universe free of charge. e. g Linux Operating system. The booming of the information age has helped enormously to convey the universe to be a planetary small town. The World Wide Web provides users with a deepness and comprehensiveness of information ne’er earlier seen. The Web hunt engines such as Google. contributes to in-forming because it enables people to happen web pages that are more relevant to their hunts than any other hunt service. This has flattened the universe in the sense that the information that is available to an person in Asia is besides available to a individual in Africa at the same clip as if they are at the same topographic point. A whole batch of information is now available on the cyberspace. such as information of persons. companies. schools states e. t. c. this information can be accessed by whosoever requires the information.

Technology has besides leveled the playing field and made the universe to be level in that any company can do its merchandises available to the whole universe in a affair of seconds. It is up to the to consumers to take whom to purchase from. The cyberspace and related engineerings make it possible to carry on concern across the organizations’ boundaries about as efficient and efficaciously as it is to carry on concern within the organisation. Location is no longer a restricting factor in how organisations design. develop and bring forth goods and services. With the cyberspace it is now possible to keep close relationships with providers and other concern spouses at great distances. Companies like Amazon. com are a good exapmle of how the universe has become a Global small town in that people shop from it from all over the universe without holding to cognize its exact location. Due to the flattening of the universe. we are now linking all the cognition centres on the planet together into a individual planetary web. which in the absence of factors such as political relations. could get down an epoch of complete prosperity. invention. and coaction by all communities. companies. and persons.
