Kenichi Ohmae in his book “The Next Global Stage,” presents a situation through his

experiences as a wanderer, in addition to what has studied throughout his life as a

professional, academic and researcher.

This work is described by his great academic contributions, experts have compared
to the brilliant works: The End of History Francis Fukuyama and The Clash of
Civilizations by Samuel Huntington, for this reason that every country is meant to
clear the questions raised by the author and can be implemented in a state he has
become globalized, able to overcome the obstacles that are present regardless of the
stage.

In this line, we have seen countries like China, elected new global strategies which
have proven their efficiency without doubt, the benefit of all citizens of their
country, which has sent shivers other powers as are the risk of being displaced in a
short space of time. It will also take the opportunity as a person, institution and
country, really know which position we occupy in this world of openness.

2 – The Stage

In this section, the author notes some of the places that are impressive growth and
identifies some of the individuals in the global economy. This part represents the
starting point for a new cycle. Ending this, probing the failure of traditional
economics and experts in that area trying to understand the functioning of the
global economy. The world still has not achieved its openness to the possibilities of
free trade, since, according to Ohmae, the nation state still exercises control over its
people, goods and services, according to them for their interest to safeguard its
territory “La Patria” .

In this part the author argues that in some places, these entry barriers have been
able to win, which this called the 4C, consumers, capital, and corporate
communications, stating that countries that have not understood this new order,
unfortunately can not continue riding on the train of prosperity.

With regard to communications, it is crucial the development of these tools thanks

to technological advances like the Internet, which does not limit the possibilities to
meet other people away from the business environment so that you can conduct
transactions, no matter what so far they are. The companies involved in
telecommunications business have been developed in such a way that are
considered the most of these as global businesses.

You can comment briefly on the great contribution made by the internet to research
being a source of benefits to educational institutions and businesses, and is a clear
example of studies using the Internet as a platform element previous years this was
considered difficult to say no, it was impossible.

We fail to understand this situation more easily, and this is reflected in doctors
performed remotely, as in our case with AIU ¨¨.

¨¨

Everything about the capital: it is significant that the dollar coin has grown into
global monetary platform. Capital markets can move according to their benefit to
any nation deemed to provide more favorable rates than those offered in its territory
which has always had its headquarters.
Corporations have had to change their ¨ “operation mode” and that his wish to see
the world as a business opportunity has led them to change their corporate
activities, so you can see in some situations an organization with its headquarters
United States, its production plant in India, his area of research in Japan. We are a
global company that is looking for competitive advantage in price that is capable of
confronting the new order as it had found a mess. ¨ “A New Economic Order.”

As related to consumers, we can say that today’s consumers behave very differently
than twenty years ago, when this takes place when purchasing goods and services
consumers are aware of the qualities facilities, prices , quality and most importantly
is that this consumer has desires that are beyond the rational necessity. An
individual when purchasing a car is present design issues that had not interested
him, as markets were offering before, today, these markets have changed and have
become market demand, as firms compete for Always looking for excellence to fully
satisfy these customer requirements.

The interactive and interconnected global economy is now a reality irrevocable. It

should be present in the everyday life that has engulfed the confusion employers
when business operations for reasons of knowing when to perform the operations
and with whom.

Due to the astuteness and vision of some rulers, there are countries in the world
largely autonomous, with its own economic agenda as the case of Dalian in China,
whose economy is self-sufficient. With this autonomy is achieved by counting, with
foreign investment resulting in the generation of new businesses in the tourism
sector. When the country understands how they are moving the markets and trends
will be easier to understand his position in that market and take steps, such as
adopting technology to add value to their operations, allowing them to work
together towards achieving success.

The command of languages represents a competitive advantage when doing

business is a fundamental tool for the global economy, accounting for competitive
advantages, such as the fact manage the English, declared a linguistic platform of
the economy and dominated by much of the world population. The great importance
which is English for business people from the countryside, it lies in the need for
operations with large consumer markets, we must also bear in mind that the great
researches and discoveries usually require capital investment, we must also keep in
mind that to achieve notoriety at the time of presenting research, they must be
published in a magazine and, most important of these are published in the English
language, that is, no matter where it is carrying out research is published in a
magazine North American achieved a place of significant importance.

It should show the example of Finland where the economy is based on the creation
of knowledge and understand that no single nation can undertake a project, from
which open the doors to the world, puts them in a place of importance allows
emerge with other nations.

An important event for the global economy it was the events in the eighties (1985)
with the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the communist system in the world. As
we understand it today is a world without Borders · are neither barriers oo. Where
countries must compete for excellence with their goods and services.

The author asserts that the loss Ohmae and massive external debt may also have a
destabilizing effect on an economy, causing a further increase in interest rates,
making this a measure of inflation. Other relevant information is represented by the
appearance of Microsoft with its Windows operating systems and that through this
you create a key technology platforms of our history. His witty, creative visionary
and author Bill Gates, transformed the operating system of individuals, employers
and state, as the technology even with its flaws, has been one of the tools necessary
and indispensable for nations to achieve their objectives more quickly and
efficiently.

The eighties ended with an analysis of the conventional economy and the thinking of
scholars of the economy on its way to his inaccurate ways of thinking to the global
economy. It should be remembered that the global economy is a real situation, there
is an assumption that has yet to expand and develop its theoretical framework.

3 – Stage Management

In this second part is how the author, (Ohmae) explores the key trends that
germinate on the global stage. Investigate the development of the nation-state and
dynamics of what is the concept of region-states. We can say that a tiny number of
nations have the capacity to be considered as a nation, understand your current
situation, where they are, what are its limitations or weaknesses and leverage their
strengths, opportunities and threats
facing wisely.

It also performs scans, indicating which part of the business field of nations must be
improved, and as a last changed in order to emerge in this globalized world, it
should be borne in mind that the processes, products, people involved in this
process and logistics strategy. The growth and development path of global economy
we have to change transfer and ultimately eliminate our concept inevitably of
nation-state unquestionably in favor of any part of the world to take the initiative
and decision to adapt to current changes.

Another important issue is what the “Platform for Progress”, the author implements
new ideas to implement such as the development of technology platforms. It should
be remembered that communication platforms are as old as human language, has
been through the use of technology at this time, they have been truly recognized.

4 – The Outsourcing (BPO)

Another issue of importance of this global scenario represented by the outsourcing

of business processes, which are driven by labor costs low, without alteration or loss
of quality concept. Outsourcing through the limits may be extended benefits and
prosperity to parts of the world where poverty can be discerned. With the
cooperation of the global platform using the Internet, we can say that outsourcing
crosses national borders. This brings real benefits as it relates to good wages for
local workers, technology transfer and development of improved infrastructure.

A striking example of this situation represents the case of India, but not every
country is in this situation because there are areas that investors have not yet been
reached because of their commercial appeal as having a very labor costly in
exchange for low wages compared to the standards of the region.

Spoke briefly on the theme of Sleeping India, where it should be noted that India is
characterized as the nation with a high growth despite exhibiting high levels of
poverty and calamity belts. Organizations that want to use the contract have the
following questions, will you actually increase the revenue? If all the business
process and value chain to be outsourced?. This represents some entrepreneurs
many risks because it involves breaking up the company and start again.

The growth and development of outsourcing is based on perceived benefits, which

are not only financial, operating areas where successful join with the cost
advantages they already have. Outsourcing in most cases brings financial benefits,
but we must analyze the extent to which the company may or may not dispose of
activities which are sometimes characteristic of top management to be considered
strategic. We must remember that if the activities of other companies in pursuit of
lower costs and the parent company are not affected, it must outsource in search of
lower cost and become more competitive in emerging markets.

5 – The Script

Ohmae provides us with an examination of how changes and trends occurring affect
governments, businesses, and individuals. The author notes some of the regions that
might be the hegemonic center that formed the world beyond the global cycle.
Finally, we mention some elements of his book “The Mind of the Strategist” which
stable relationship with the need to change the structure based on the development
of a global corporate strategy.

Ohmae also made remarks on some regions could be the economic centers that
formed the world beyond the global stage and is now listed as coming global
scenarios: British Columbia, Hainan, Baltic corner, the city of Ho Chi Minh , Siberia,
Sao Paulo, and Kyushu are some examples of areas where the global potential for
the coming years. However, there are numerous comments on the strategic thinking,
Ohmae manages the definition of the strategy of the three C’s: Company,
competition and customers.

In this same order is paramount, describing the vision, secondly, proceed to explain
the strategy and the third to be developed the business plan. Ohmae offers us a
formidable challenge as part of a nation-state, to guide our strategy towards profit,
so that our country has a solid foundation for when you have the opportunity to be a
region-state. In our country we can not really envision the path that leads us down
the path of prosperity, for all must begin to know where we stand and where we are
going.

Is why Ohmae underpinned the idea of inviting all governments to change their
ways and have a systemic thinking. Our Dominican Republic can not continue
holding on centralized powers when developed countries have opted for sectorize
this power, aimed at the promotion of local governments to other major positions,
considering their achievements during their administrations.

We are at a crossroads where we must adopt a mode where transformations take

place as a country allow us to move the concept ¨ nation project “and where our
government to reward good managers and punish those who in one way or another
only affect the interests of the majority, the happiness of a people tired of secrecy
by a very powerful sector, which now begins to feel the strong winds that lash out in
snatch, all achieved in his life as a businessman , which will go from dealer to
pseudo employer.

Time is short and not to initiate the changes, put into practice the advice of our
author · Ohmae ° ° ¨ If so, we will not pass from one state to another, we just lost in
space like a star without light as countries that understand the concept of nation,
placed the batteries and spend a star with no light to another with their own light,
where there is room to live in dignity and quality of life, as we can see the countries
with the nation’s inhabitants concept enjoy benefits that allow them to live with
dignity as human beings.

Our government must take the challenge, sacrifice and heroic gesture, this can be
evidenced by the following ratio of public expenditure, this is so, then make a 75%
decrease in current expenditure and increasing capital spending, which currently
accounts for 25%, this will result in hospitals with medicine, quality education, and
reach citizens safely without any anxiety, knowing today if tomorrow there will be
food, of course this can not be achieved by a cabinet inept, which only seek personal
benefits at the expense of the large population who are naively choose to direct their
destinies.

The important role of government is not the provider of wealth but the same dealer
and that the money collected by way of taxes should be distributed according to the
needs and priorities, according to demand. Taxes collected by our governments
Latinos, much of this money is handled with the wrong concept, where our
representatives believe that this must be distributed as if still estuviéremos in the
colonial era, where all the profits were for the crown.

The distribution of recoveries made by the government must seek to provide

essential services to all citizens. For example, in our Dominican Republic a few
regions have the right to enjoy basic public services regardless of their remoteness
in relation to the National District (capital), on the contrary, administration of the
future must be flexible and urgent, can to institute changes quickly enough and
willing to provide the public services efficiently and effectively.

The government should not insist on doing all this must be a space for the private
sector may supply those services where you are, can not be competitive, so you can
achieve Productivité and balance, that is, become item to facilitate things. The best
way a government can choose to do for its people, achieving attract foreign
investment to avoid having to use the money they pay in taxes to subsidize
unprofitable state enterprises. In our country the government should subsidize the
propane gas as fuel for the transportation of passengers by pressure from trade
unions of drivers, it can demonstrate it when last year he had in his agenda to
eliminate this, but realized that if you removed could lead to strikes and strikes,
giving as a result
, the lower his popularity among citizens, bearing in mind that this will re-elect for
the upcoming elections.

As shown importantly, the government must focus on changing demands to require

an intellectual revolution. It is unacceptable to believe that today, the government
team is made up of people with low education, reason, often attempts to corral
people more ready and open to the world and propose projects that break
boundaries and allow the progress of the region.

We should also mention those politicians who, even knowing the situation of the
world, disguising the truth to try to convince the naive and ignorant people with
their speeches in order to establish its position opposing the current government
with the sole aim to achieve, be benefited in the next election with the votes. For a
nation to be successful, must have a workforce prepared and motivated. A region
must also have a good capital structure, both in technology and logistics, this will
depend fundamentally on the view held by the current government.

To accomplish this task must be to establish strategies aimed at training human

capital with more capabilities than those currently owns, providing training
opportunities not only locally, but also knowing new cultures of other countries to
enable them to be globalized country since they have global businesses.

The vision of a globalized must be open and transparent, with clear and practical
objectives can be pursued and, to be achieved. We must remember that for a
country to join a global economic system, must have a highly qualified staff,
technology and clear vision. Besides all this, it is necessary to implement a
marketing strategy of market orientation.
In the futures market, is made an approach whose foundation focuses on three basic
levels:

“Technology: The technology depends on the future of the world.

-Staff: This is when we should be adaptable to the environment.

-Organizational: Innovate and discard unnecessary hierarchies are key to adapting

to new global trends.

6 – Corporate Future

Make the place settings represent the key to the great opportunities of the global
economy are exploited by the company. The author argues that we must study the
administration from the critical point of view, not enough to prepare students to
succeed simply acquire the administrative history, we present different scenarios,
among them, the past, present and take steps to come again the mistakes of the
past and present, this means qualify a person skilled in the area capable of dealing
with problems or inconveniences in their daily living.

Businesses should not have a nationality, because we encontraos in a globalized

world. Our businessmen must make systemic changes, no matter how many
adjustments must be made, yet we continue to fail, because failure to understand
the complexity of the problem, bearing in mind that the hard problems really are
easy to locate and understand. This offers us new situations, problems can be solved
by always using the same formula as variables and questions are always unfamiliar
to us, which we resolve by resorting to the wisdom and common sense, always
keeping in mind the vision of our company.

7 – Innovation

Ohmae presents the case of Sweden, which is known for its historic contributions to
scientific innovation. This country has not fallen into lethargy, leaving that passes
the time, staying at the forefront of technological innovation, especially with the
objective of providing global platform in telecommunications and securities markets.

Based on the proposed innovation must be present in the global economy,

specifically in four areas:

* Business Systems: The industries must have providers that offer the best quality
and lowest cost. Its development is based on excellent research in the
manufacturing, sales and services.

* Products and services: In this part of the innovation must be considered

paramount. Choosing the territory to explore and develop the best team work are
necessary, in addition to products and services according to the needs and desires of
the client. Employers should try to surprise their clients, using effective techniques.

* Customer Interface: With the use of telecommunications, these allow us to have

an immediate and direct relationship with our clients, managing to reach a customer
group or market sector.

* Employees, managers and staff in general: in this sense the author elaborates on
aspects such as the selection process and the evaluation and a good salary to its
employees in pursuit of better service to its customers. Employers should keep in
mind that countries that have achieved primacy, have achieved this success by
investing in human capital.

8 – The Next Global Stage

In this section, the author presents some cases of regions that have achieved
success, where as mentioned countries, Dalian and Singapore, as in the case of the
island of Hainan, south China’s Guangdong province, whose population is eight
million inhabitants. The economy of this country is based on the primary sector
(subsistence agriculture), taking into account also that has a broad wealth of gold
and iron, also benefiting from the continuing operations of oil and natural gas at sea
South. Its natural beauty attracts thousands of tourists each year, mainly from Hong
Kong and China. Its climate is subtropical and beyond that has a hotel infrastructure
that has nothing to envy to Malaysia, Thailand or the Philippines.

Our country the Dominican Republic has similarities to the Chinese

people””Guangdong unlike this, we possess much more fertile lands, we also have a
variety of mines in metals, iron this. The difference is that we have a nation capable
of shaping metals and industrialize these products harvested in the agricultural
sector.

After this example, Ohmae presents other regions such as Petropavlovsk (Russia),
Vancouver and British Columbia, Sao Paulo Kyushu in Japan next potentially
classified as global scenarios.

9 – Reopen As the Mind of the Strategist

Ohmae in his book “The Mind of the Strategist,” says his thinking and outlook on the
world situation at the age of 29-31 years. We can see in this writer their critical
thinking skills in an age when most people did not have the vision to see the future.

Using the 4C that sets out the strategies to be developed to meet customer needs,
using the best comparative advantage against the competition. But now says we can
no longer define the customer, the company and competitors in a clear manner,
ensuring that companies really are in a situation where at the time of detecting who
is the competition, could make mistakes, as market problems are very complex
today.

The competition can be found anywhere, including our neighbor, may be our
strongest competitor. Now the strategy is to define very well the 4C and then define
their relationship in a sequential and dynamic in time. Ohmae finishes its work,
trying to guide companies on how best to create a vision, no daydreaming, but
rather mixing the real and the imaginary and at the same time to implement what is
necessary to succeed. Our companies got out of the crossroads at which we find
managers who are seen as high as in the clouds, but with feet firmly placed on the
ground.

Once the vision, we design the strategy, implementing a business plan detailing the
key resources such as human resources, financial and timetable to enforce the plans.
In another vein, it is necessary to have people with an open mind to decide on the
spot where we will fight our battles and when to be the moment. To this we must
train our leaders by providing the tools needed to confront potential enemies,
certain to succeed in these contests.

10 – Opinion
After all this reflection that remains up to each one of us. With the certainty that we
will be us, the protagonists of the next stage and that only “attitude” will achieve
the obstacles facing the future holds. Mortals, we have evolved and so far w
e have a big challenge, improve the quality of life for us and our children and future
generations, where we will be responsible for our destinations, which we assume
with dignity and respect.

Our Dominican Republic is in a transitional moment in front of the recently signed

free trade agreement with the United States, which we have been for reasons of
force, ie we had no alternative and where the signature is made almost of Unilateral
¨ way ° ° °, because people who were chosen for the contract were not the right
people, this being so, they were politicians, lacking in 90% of the bargaining power
in this type of conflict, moreover are not traded specialist packages.

This new book is any guide discussed in the personal, institutional and government
in order to understand that we are in a place of disadvantage against countries that
did understand that governments must assume that the borders do not exist and we
must develop the most of our competitive advantages for our case, that of the
Republic also, we must develop the service sector (telecommunications and tourism)
another would be the primary sector (agriculture), because the latter must be
accompanied by the part of “industrial change “for our companies to achieve their
cherished dream, to become a global company.

Our country has better features than the town of Chima Guangdong ¨ ¨ ° °, with the
caveat: we do not have a nationwide project (Region-State). We end this paper we
predict in all modesty that we do not know where to go because we do not know
where we are as a country
