This is where the smaller developed economies need to be playing. It is not about competing where you can’t compete, but about recognizing that value creation will cross boundaries, and positioning yourself effectively in that space.
Wow – good for post.
I’m an American who fell in love with an Aussie, I came to Oz and couldn’t find a visa and a job so I started a company. After 3 years, I made a lot of mistakes (with the biz…) and I realised we are competing locally against companies that are global(we built alphamagazine.com.au) . So we started changing the way we think, now we think and act globally. We have developers in San Jose, some in Sydney, and yes some in India, meanwhile our search expert is in Santa Clara, CA (I go where needed). Our clients are in Chicago, Madison WI, Milpitas, SF, Sydney, Melbourne and soon Kuala Lumpur.
What happened? When we quit thinking we were a city based company…We started winning business. (by thinking we were a small agile GLOBAL company).
