1. The Berlin wall
The wall didn’t just keep people in Germany, it kept people and technology out

4. Workflow Machines and computers that run by themselves
Machines that do repetitive and simple jobs
Can also be used to work in dangerous conditions that would harm human workers
Revolutionized the work force in marketing and manufacturing
The quality of product it puts out, is not same quality of the same product made by a Human

5. The invention of the typewriter brought workflow from the manufacture to the office
During the 1980s, two aspects of workflow organization drew heavy criticism. First, the methods pioneered by Taylor modeled humans as simple automata. The classical industrial-style of work was critiqued as being both dehumanizing and suboptimal in its use of the potential of human beings.

8. Flatness-#5 Outsourcing
Outsourcing is the process of taking work that used to be done in-house (e.g., accounting) and paying another company to do it.
In 1999, the “Y2K” fear gripped the U.S. Y2K refers to Year 2000, and the concern was that much of the existing software stored information on year using only two digits: 97 instead of 1997.
The fear was that when a program advanced from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000, it would behave as if the year was actually 1900, potentially disrupting a huge amount of business and scientific calculations.
U.S. companies were then scrambling to make their software “Y2K compliant” and they were in short supply of English-speaking programmers. Enter hordes of well-trained Indian programmers who would work for a fraction of the cost of an American programmer and deliver high-quality work.
Only now, thanks to the fiber-optic cable in India, those Indian programmers never have to travel to the U.S. – they can do all their work from home.

Insourcing is widely used in an area such as production to reduce costs of taxes, labor, transportation, etc.
UPS is a prime example for insourcing, in which the company’s employees perform services – beyond shipping – for another company
For example, UPS repairs Toshiba computers on behalf of Toshiba. The work is done at the UPS hub, by UPS employees

15. Insourcing is a business decision that is often made to maintain control of critical production or competencies
More jobs are insourced than outsourced
Insourcing may be done by “onshoring”
Ambiguity persists about the most appropriate use of insourcing and onshoring
