Yossarin, I don't quite follow your train of thought. Since you started with Business model & Globalization framework, I will post my understanding of the same and perhaps we can discuss how Flat world Hindutva jibes with it.
To start off, there is no doubt that all the elements you mention have to be addressed for what they are, and not for how we wish them to be. There is a need for such multidisciplinary analysis & approach to the problems, the result of such synthesis ought to produce a conducive environment for all the things you are proposing.
Globalization used to be study of socio-economic consequences of increasing population, decreasing natural resources, rapid technological advances etc. Then the agitation due to the monetary and trade policies' consequences due to the globalization.
Setting aside the popular notion of globalization, for the sake of discussion, let's say it is made of two parts - first is globalization which is the natural consequence of global development, and the second as globalism - the attempt to gloabalize with ideological, cultural, religious, socio-economic systems, by attaching it to, or associating with, the demance and consequences of the former (globalization).
To understand the globalism one must seriously unlearn and relearn impact of imperialism, capitalism, socialism etc etc. Anyway, when the gloablism spreads, each party, wedges itself into another layer (in between), let's call it an interpretive layer - This is where all the professional academics, internationalists, social activists, Church members, Ummah wallahs, NGOs, etc currently reside - sadly. It is also this layer that most of the Indians and Hindus derive their current knowledge from.
Now, if you agree that this is how things are, could you re-explain your work? or refine the above model and I will update my framework to follow what you are proposing.
For example:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->why you need to reinvent yourself to be competitive and to ultimately win both at home and across the world.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It is just a statement, but it is not helping me, how to reinvent myself in the state we find ourselves in, per the above simplfied model. I hope you can appreciate my troule in translating statements into clear course of action. I am dense, what can I say <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Thanks!
