I saw this book on the shelves at major bookshops as well as the pirated edition being sold on the road sides. But not being a non-fiction fan, I didn’t buy it.
But when I was admitted to the MBA program at a university in the US, I was sent 2 books. "Good to great" and "The world is Flat" to be read as an assignment for a class on the first day.
The world is flat starts out a bit slow with the author telling us of his escapades at Infosys and bangalore. But it was when he exposed the 10 flatteners that truly made the world flat, that I knew why everyone was speaking about this book.
Guys, this book is a must read for anyone who is interested in management, the world, or even the plain joe who wants to spend his time more usefully.
I discovered so many things that are being done around the world and I even managed to get some tips on how to run my organization in the future.
Note that the author does not bore you with a lecture type book. He narrates his experiences and it is truly interesting.
Do buy the expanded edition and don’t be put off by the size of the book.
It is well worth your time.
