Editor’s note:Originally posted on October 20 2007

The world is flat 3.0-

According to the author of the book,the flattening of the world presents us with new economic opportunities,new challenges,new social networks. We as young African adults will have to work harder,smarter and faster to make sure that more of us are able to connect ,collaborate,and most importantly innovate thus be able to derive all the benefits such attitude can offer.

He goes on saying that globalisation 3.0 is going to be driven more and more by non western companies , and non white group of individuals.Will African companies and young sheetahs be part of the group determining global economic growth ?

If African companies and individuals are to play their part in this ,it will come down to the perspective and predispositions that they carry around in their head.They are very important in shaping what an individual/company sees and what an individual/company does not see.
African countries,its people and business leaders have to be honest with themselves and examine clearly where they stand in relation to other economies and in relation to the ten flatteners.
Some African economies already practised this ,Ghana ,Rwanda ,Angola ,Mozambique, Mauritius, Morocco,Botswana,Namibia,Uganda,South Africa , are seeing the fruits of their self analysis. The other economies need to practise some introspection,like drunks do,because to get back on their feet, they have to learn to see themselves as they really are.

The key factors in explaining why some countries are able to move forward are , the country culture and values, such as HARD WORK,THRIFT,HONESTY,PATIENCE and TENACITY,as well as the degree to which it is open to change,new technology and gender equality. Another[ key factor] is to what degree is there a sense of SOLIDARITY and a FOCUS on accumulation of wealth and development,to what degree is there TRUST,to what degree are the financial,intellectual,sexual, ELITES concerned with the masses and READY TO INVEST @ HOME.

THREE BASIC THINGS:
1)Right infrastructures to connect more people with the flat-world platform,in the form of,cheap internet bandwitdth and mobile phone,to modern airports,well maintained roads, and seaports.

2)Right educational system to get more innovation and collaboration

3)Right fiscal policy ,rule of law and efficient bureaucracy

Key terms:
Outsourcing-Offshoring-Uploading-supply chaining-Insourcing-Digitization-Virtualisation.

Interesting facts:
-Total global internet usage grew 186 percent in Africa.Google[Nyse:GOOG) AMD[Nyse:AMD],HP(Nyse:HPQ) moving in these markets should be an hint that Internet usage in African markets is about to enter a new phase.
-HP is the largest IT company in South Africa

-Tolerance breeds trust and trust is the foundation of inovation and entrepreneurship.

-Culture is not wired in the DNA,its a product of context,geography,education level,leadership,and historical events.
- Middle class is a state of mind ,not a state of income.
- In societies that have more memories than dreams,too many people see dignity,self-worth by chewing on the past,usually not a real past but an imagined and adorned past.
