John Hagel envisages a world with no boundaries like Thomas Friedman. He believes connectivity transcends barriers and borders, enabling corporates to increasingly tap opportunities from across the world.
A globe-trotting management consultant and author, Hagel is hailed for his out-of-the-box thinking on outsourcing, globalisation, retailing and the Internet. Hagel was in Mumbai last Friday to attend CIO100 symposium and

"I am inspired by Tom Friedman when he says connectivity is cheaper and globalisation has arrived; but I start from where he leaves it. Friedman speaks about challenges that accompany globalisation, while I focus on how to respond to these challenges and how to function in a highly-competitive environment," Hagel told
