The World is Flat

Hi Guys,

Whenever you have a free hour, perhaps over the weekend, take some time to view this amazing lecture by Thomas Friedman. This has more than some implications on how we view and understand the notion Mary described as "Managing the dynamics of interdependency".

Trully an "eye opener".
