  • How Will China Survive in a FlatNet World?

    How would China survive in a flatnet world?

    The problem for China, according to Francis McInerney, Managing Director of North River Ventures, is its endeavour to impose the ruling communist party as "center for everything“.

    The communist Party censors even the internet because of the web’s ability to bring large groups of people together for collective action. Impressively, China has today the largest and most sophisticated online censorship in the world.  The Great Firewall, software that has cut China’s internet off from the rest of the world for years, presents a huge obstacle for many foreign enterprises seeking to gain a foothold in China.

    A question which arises, is whether China can survive and grow in the world where everything it does, must be kept behind the Great Firewall and all foreign markets are on flatnets? Get the answers to this question and more in podcast .

  • Flat Architectures
    Flat architecture has a lot to do with the information cost velocity curve. Over the years, some companies end up falling off the curve due to how they are structured, which is why the companies start to restructure to become more flattened out companies.
    This flattening is between not only management and their employees but also suppliers and the ones they're supplying to. Since the amount of information that needs to be known is being increased, so is the number of people who need to know the info. The CDN (content distribution network) is increasing and stretching to reach more people, which creates this need for companies to be flattened.

  • Netflix
    Like all the FAANGs, and every major company in the future, Netflix mist scale at The Rate of Cloud Inflation or fall off The Information Cost-Velocity Curve, the dominant force in civilization, and die.
    But, the global common carriers who, today, are the arteries of Netflix Cloud-born information to its customers, can’t do this.
    Some of the issues with these common carriers come from the idea that people are using wifi more than they use cellular data. This paying for data can be taken out completely and wifi can be used only which is good for customers of Netflix, however service providers will lose money.
    What will happen?

  • Nissan is Ghosn, Ghosn, Ghosn

    Carlos Ghosn has been arrested in Japan and will likely spend a year in jail there, awaiting trial. And he will not be allowed access to a lawyer during that time.

    The problem is simple: Japanese companies don’t like to pay competitive, global incomes to top managers. For the most part this means that they must settle for third-rate performers overseas. And live with the miserable market shares in the 7X markets (GDP of EU+US = 7X Japan) that result. When, for every dollar they sell in Japan, they should sell $7 in the 7X, they usually reach 25-30¢. All because they won’t pay enough to get the share that their products usually deserve.

    And they stay uninformed about the Information Age and why they have no FAANGs and can’t create them.

    Along comes Ghosn. Rescues Nissan. Demands real money. And gets it. Big resentment.

    But Nissan, like all Japanese companies, has a board made up of company executives, not outsiders with a fiduciary responsibility for oversight.

    So the Board is sloppy. Doesn’t do its work. Likely is not fully informed about Ghosn’t arrangements.

    As this case unfurls, Nissan looks worse with every new charge. Japan doesn’t look much better for pressing charges that may prove Nissan’s sloppyness over Ghosn’s culpability.

    And if Ghosn gets off so much as one charge and a single cent went through a US bank, Nissan’s liability will be eye-watering
