Write a 6 pages paper on dell’s theory of conflict prevention
Examination of how the world supply chain gets people of the world engaged with each other into an activity with the projected positive outcome on a global realm can reveal the effectiveness of the proposed theory. Also, delving into an evaluation of religious aspects through identifying how two countries, like India and the USA, for instance, with different religions, but involved in the same business, can contribute to the world’s stability, can support Friedman’s point of view. In this regard, Friedman’s Dell Theory can be proven to be a valid theoretical contention that confirms that countries that are participants of a global supply chain would be hesitant to go into war for economic gains.
The interdependence of the nations is the key element to global peace, as “no two countries that are part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain” (Friedman 125). Global organizations, such as McDonald’s or Dell, form stronger alliances through a structured communication process that effectively delivers the customers’ demands. This communication process was already identified by Appiah when he cited Voltaire and averred that there is this expressed understanding “of the obligation to understand those with whom we share the planet, linking that need explicitly with our global economic interdependence” (Appiah 59). Through the global supply chain that contains clear and explicit communication process and patterns from the sources of materials and supplies up to the point where products are delivered to the doorsteps of consumers, more countries benefit economically and therefore, these countries would do everything within their powers to disrupt the continuous global supply chain flow.
