26 Thomas Friedman s 7 Rules for Companies Coping with the Flattening World Rule #2: And the small shall act big One way small companies flourish in the flat world is by learning to act big. And the key to being small and acting big is being quick to take advantage of all the new tools for collaboration to reach farther, faster, wider and deeper. Rule #3: And the big shall act small One way that big companies learn to flourish in the flat world is by learning how to act really small by enabling their customers to act really big.
