We're All Entrepreneurs

This article from Businessweek combines two themes that I studied to a great extent at the University of Delaware - globalization and entrepreneurship. In the article, author Marshall Goldsmith says:

"In the new era of uncertainty, we all need to think like entrepreneurs.

The West is just beginning to understand what globalization really means. We hoped it would mean a world of people competing to buy our products. We liked the idea of a globe producing products that we could buy for less money. Now we're beginning to learn that globalization means that people across the planet are competing for our jobs. We are just beginning to understand the impact of a world competing for food, oil, cement, wood, and natural resources... Young people in the West need to learn the meaning of one word that all successful entrepreneurs know well: compete."
