 Extreme Competition: Innovation and the
Great 21st Century Business Reformation
By: Peter Fingar, MK Press, 2006
Peter Fingar is an internationally recognized
expert on business strategy with over thirty
years of hands-on experience at the intersection
of business and technology. He’s the author of
six best-selling books.
Will Global Competition Destroy the
American Middle Class?
“The World Isn’t Flat, It’s Tilted,” Claims New
Book.
Across the country, a growing number of
Americans fear that they could be replaced by
someone from a developing country. Recent
polls indicate that millions of Americans are
preoccupied with the outsourcing of American
jobs and the threat of global economic competition. From board rooms to
class rooms to kitchen tables and water coolers, globalization has become
a hot topic of discussion and debate everywhere. “The world isn’t fl at as a
result of globalization; the world is tilted in favor of a fi erce new breed of
competitors.” These competitors exploit three billion low-paid workers
in China, India and the former Soviet Union, countries that have recently
adopted capitalism.
“These fierce new competitors are ready to engage you, your company, and
your kids in extreme competition,” says Fingar. “They play hardball and
dominate their industries. They’ll go to the ends of the earth to employ
factory workers for 9 cents an hour and PhDs in science and technology for
$20,000 a year. This global search for low-cost labor has already begun
to damage, and may even cripple, America’s middle class.”
Providing the framework and practical strategies needed for action,
Extreme Competition acts as a survival guide in this new age of global
competition and provides the insight needed to win. “We must be prepared
now for extreme competition or lose our standing in the world economy and
our standard of living,” he says. Fingar’s message serves as a penetrating
wake-up call for governments, businesses and individuals everywhere.
