John Chambers, CEO, Cisco, on evolution in the business world from a command + control to connect + collaborate model. Asked about emerging markets, John replied China was 'emerging' 10 yrs ago, India 6 yrs ago. Now Africa, Middle East are th big players. Biggest change over 10 yrs - interactive fueled collaboration. Asked which country will own the 21st century (posed as "england =19th, US= 20th, ? = 21st") Thomas friedmam said 'Never cede a century to a country that censors google'. Chambers ended by saying the winner wouldn't be India or China but rather the power of the network of currently emerging markets.
