5. How Companies Cope

5.1. Rule 1

5.1.1. When the world is flat, whatever can be done will be done. The only question is weather it will be done by you or to you.

5.1.1.1. Don't let things be done to you because you can prevent it by getting out in the world and doing what can be done for yourself.

5.2. Rule 2

5.2.1. This is an outgrowth of rule #1. Because we are in a world where whatever can be done will be done, the most important competition today is between you and your own imagination.

5.2.1.1. Have as big of an imagination as you want because our country allows for many of your imaginations to come true.

5.3. Rule 3

5.3.1. And the small shall act big...One way small companies flourish in the flat world is by learning to act really big. Imagination is neccessary, but not sufficient. You have to be able to implement what you imagine. And the kep to being small and acting big is being quick to take advantage of all the new tools for collaboration to reach farther, faster, wider, and deeper.

5.3.1.1. Aramex is an example of a small company acting big because it is operated in only a few countries but it does shipments to many different countries around the world within a short time period.

5.4. Rule 4

5.4.1. And the big shall act small...One way that big companies learn to flourish in the flat world is by learning how to act really small by enabling their customers to act really big.

5.4.1.1. Starbucks is a good example of a big company acting small because they allow for the customer to designg whatever drink it is that they wish to have. Which allows the customer to go crazy with the items they can add to the product they wish to buy.

5.5. Rule 5

5.5.1. The best companies are the best collaborators. In the flat world, more and more business will be done through collaborations within and between companies, for a very simple reason: The next layers of value creation-wheather in technology, marketing, biomedicine, or manfacturing-are becoming so complex that no single firm or department is going to be able to master them alone.

5.5.1.1. Many companies work with each other because they can get the job done faster if they do what they are best at for one an other. When this happens and the job is done well all the companies succeed as different wholes.

5.6. Rule 6

5.6.1. In a flat world, the best companies stay healthy by getting regular chest X-rays and then selling the results to their clients.

5.6.1.1. The healthy companies always make sure that their clients know what they are working on to improve as a whole so that the client becomes more satified with the company.

5.7. Rule 7

5.7.1. The best companies outsource to win, not to shrink. They outsource to innovate faster and more cheaply in order to grow larger, gain market share, and hire more and different specialists- not to save money by firing more people.

5.7.1.1. The bigger companies outsoure so their worker can get done for a cheaper cost and a quicker time. They also do this because people over in other countries are not lazy and take their job very seriously which allows many of the people to very specialized in their job.

5.8. Rule 8

5.8.1. HOW you do things as a company matters more today than ever.

5.8.1.1. Working as a whole company matters more then acting as individuals within a company. This matters more today because individuals need to come together so that the company can preform the services it needs to it's consumers.

5.9. Rule 9

5.9.1. When the world goes flat-and you are feeling flattened- reach for a shovel and dig inside yourself. Don't try to build walls.

5.9.1.1. Digging inside yourself is the best thing to do when the world goes flat because you may have an idea that is so brilliant that no one else has even thought to have created. It could make you very rich.

11.3.2. The untouchables tend to be ragpickers, collies, and quarry laborers. The hope they have for themselves is so little because they are either too sick or their local governments are to broke for them to believe that they can advance forward with what dreams they may have.
