The Borderless Society - Power and Strategy in the Interlinked Economy
The concept of "The Borderless World" contains how many dimensions? It is really up to your (our) imagination ....
Japan's only management guru Kenichi Ohmae has demonstrated the dimensions of "global marketplace, trading, economic activities, money and information flow .... un-restricted by any physical or mental boundary. As we read "The Borderless Society", we can stretch our creative thinking treating the "world" as our "mind", without constraints of space, time but forces and flow. A World-Mind of environmental forces; consequences or cause-effect of our action and reaction; knowledge concentration / distribution; ..... even evil intention / creation from one small corner of the world, .....
What then is Your personal and organisational ACTION?
With evidence of "The Borderless World" taking effect, what sort of clash and stress can you imagine with respect to highly compartmentalised organisation structures where you reside? The frustration and difficulties are experienced by many on teamwork to break off the departmental boundaries within organisations. On personal level, we are governed by fragmented and box thinking : from a tiny miserable perspective of a employee, or manager, or farmer, or specialist, or consumer, or politician, or entertainer, or pressmen, or ....

Since you and your organisation, community, society are parts that generate the collective effect, do you still want to think this world has countess boundaries that need much bureaucratic passport and visa to travel and to act or even to think?
