The 6 rules that he talked about are not really rules in my opnion, more like guidelines, furthermore those "guidelines" do seem to be a good way to be successful in the new flat world.
I'm not totally sure if you meant each rule individually or all of them together so I'll do both. The 6 rules he talked about are like a blueprint for businesses in the flat world and what they need to do to stay ahead and successful in these modern times. Now the 6 rules individually are:
#1 Whatever can be done will be done to you or for you
#2 Branches off from #1, since whatever can be done will be done, your main competition is your imagination, think outside the box.
#3 Small companies have to act big
#4 Big companies have to act small
#5 Companies need to collaborate in order to be successful
#6 Companies need to self-examine to keep up efficiency
The rules are a general way to structure a business for operation in a flat world. They are less rules than guidlines.
