    The document discusses seven rules for how companies can cope with changes in the information and communications technology sector based on Thomas Friedman's book "The World Is Flat." The rules are: 1) embrace technological changes rather than try to resist them, 2) smaller companies should act with ambition normally associated with larger ones, 3) larger companies should be flexible like smaller ones, 4) the best companies collaborate well with others, 5) analyze your business and sell insights to customers, 6) outsource functions to expand capabilities not just cut costs, and 7) outsourcing can also pursue social goals and empower others.
