New Rules

I am reading Glimmer, which is about design. Bruce Mau is a top designer and 1998 crisis, he had calls from business leaders seeking his help as the old rules of business are no longer working. It is very interesting.

The rules in today's business world has changed. Rise of the two giants - China and India is disrupting the world economy. Cost is dropping dramatically for products made-in-China and IT and medical services outsource to India. Large companies are in danger of becoming outdated and obsolete as the systems and process and more importantly the culture stiffened like arteriosclerosis. Working harder and harder using the same tactics hoping for different results.

It is interesting my boss keep harping over and over again that doing the same things and expecting different results is insanity and yet he keep insisting we do things that has been tried and did not work. This reminds me of Kishore Mahbuni who says that US is declining in power and the Americans are vehmently denying and cursing Kishore and continue to claim and feel they are the only Superpower and Master of the Universe. How sad for the rest of the world.
