Everything is changing in the 'flat world'—especially what it takes to run a profitable company. Success is no longer about what a company can do for itself, but what it can connect with. Discover how it's done from Li & Fung, a leader in 'flat world' success, which produces over $8 billion in apparel and other goods for the world's top brands and retailers without owning a single factory.

Victor and William Fung, along with Jerry Wind (bestselling author of 'The Power of Impossible Thinking'), reveal how they replaced 'old-fashioned' infrastructure and massive employee bases with a flexible, ever-changing network that can design, manufacture, and deliver anything, anywhere.

The key to success in this world is a set of principles for 'network orchestration,' explained in this book for the first time. The authors explain how these principles can be applied in manufacturing, services, and other industries, showing you how to build and coordinate your own global network.

• Compete 'network vs. network' and win!
• Create a 'big-small' company that combines scale and agility.
• Form 'loose-tight' relationships with suppliers.
• Balance control with empowerment, and stability with renewal.
• Manage the 'bumps' in the flat world, from politics to terrorism.
