Teddy K. is talking….. 24-hour music videos in Kuata Lumpur. Computer with parts manufactured in Japan, Greenland, Idaho, India. A soft drink ad going out simultaneously to 7 different continents.

Dun is arguing….. I’m not sure that I understand how the way, the world is changing is actually going to change how we do business. We’re still selling a product which hopefully someone needs.

Dun is arguing….. We’re human beings with other human beings for customers so I don’t see how this company is like its own country. I mean, just because we sell different kinds of things that doesn’t mean we should operated by our own laws, does it?

Dun is arguing….. Beside, which countries at least democratic ones, they have some obligation to their citizens, don’t they? So how do layoffs and bottom line thinking fit into that? Teddy K. is answering….. You ask some excellent questions. I’m glad you asked them. I’m leaving it to all of you to answer them.
