Theory # 1

Page 5: Lessons from the Flat World

MCDONALD’S theory of CONFLICT PREVENTION

Page 6: Lessons from the Flat World

When a country reached the level of economic development, where it had a middle class big enough to support a network of McDonald’s,

IT BECAME A MCDONALD’S COUNTRY.

Page 7: Lessons from the Flat World

Back in late

1990’s.

No two countries, that both

had McDonalds had ever

fought a war against each other since each got its

McDonalds*

Page 8: Lessons from the Flat World

Back in late

1990’s.

No two countries, that both

had McDonalds had ever

fought a war against each other since each got its

McDonalds*

*Border skirmishes and civil wars don’t count, because McD’s usually served both sides.

Page 9: Lessons from the Flat World

And people in McDonald’s countries did not want to fight wars anymore.

Page 10: Lessons from the Flat World

’s

Page 13: Lessons from the Flat World

Page 17: Lessons from the Flat World

Let’s first know what is so great about ?

Page 18: Lessons from the Flat World

Let’s first know what is so great about ?

They make lot of laptops.

Duh!And in the process, they run an

excellent

GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN.

Page 19: Lessons from the Flat World

The total supply chain for a Dell laptop, including suppliers of suppliers involves about

across North America, Europe and primarily Asia, but with thirty key players.

400COMPANIES

Page 20: Lessons from the Flat World

No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain.

Dell theorysays

Page 21: Lessons from the Flat World

Because people are embedded in major global supply chains they don’t want to fight old time wars anymore.

They want to make just-in-time deliveries of goods and services - and enjoy the rising standards of living that come with that.

Let me explain!

Page 24: Lessons from the Flat World

Take the example of my son & his girlfriend.

Let me explain!

Page 25: Lessons from the Flat World

Hey! And I make peanut butter.

Similarly, a Silicon Shield protects Taiwan from China.

SILICON SHIELD

Page 30: Lessons from the Flat World

Similarly, a Silicon Shield protects Taiwan from China.

Silicon based products such as computers & networking systems forms the basis of digital economies of the world. Taiwan being the top producers of silicon products is WAR-PROOF.

SILICON SHIELD

Page 31: Lessons from the Flat World

Iraq, Syria, South Lebanon, North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are not part of any major global supply chains.

All of them remain hot spots that could explode at any time and slow or reverse the flattening of the world.

Page 32: Lessons from the Flat World

If all countries, can be

tied into a strong

supply chain, We can STOP wars.

Page 33: Lessons from the Flat World

A PRACTICAL solution to keep countries going from war.

THESE THEORIES CAN STOP WAR.

Page 34: Lessons from the Flat World

So, make peace while

the world eats more

french-fries & buys more

laptops.
