Globalisation And Globalization

The business world is becoming increasingly global. As a result of this, many companies, such as Costa Coffee and Dyson, have changed their strategies in relation to the markets they target or where they produce. Does the increasingly global nature of business mean that all organisations need to change their strategies significantly to achieve higher profits? Justify your answer with reference to Costa Coffee, Dyson and/or other organisations that you know.

Is the increasing globalization of business good or bad for the United States? If you are from a different country, what effect do you think globalization is having or will have on your country? Is globalization resulting in unequal gains for different countries?

Over the course of history, domestic politics have been shaped by international forces. Forces like war and trade; empire and colonies; migration and the spread of ideas. Globalization and Neoliberalism plays an important role in impacting politics in all states. “Globalization is a system in which human beings are no longer part of isolated communities that are linked through narrow channels of diplomatic relations of trade”(O’Neil,2017, pg.346). Globalization creates a division between international relations and domestic politics. When globalization makes a distinction, then the aspects of domestic politics are controlled by global forces. Globalization changes the  institutions of economics, politics, and society. The institutions are measure by space and time of social norms, culture, boundaries. The boundaries create a local identity and control (particularly-“state, religion, or set of cultural values holds sway over the land and here but not there.”)(O’Neil, 2015, pg.348).  Furthermore, political isolation becomes impossible to happen.

Globalization is taking place across the world where people can either become globalization or stay local in the state or country. People are very controversial about globalization helping local economies and local businesses. Some people believe globalization is helping local businesses into the markets and then there are some that believe that multinational corporations hurting the local small businesses. What is globalization? “the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets” (). Globalization has started long before we were born.

Globalization theory is defined as an approach that addresses the development of the global resurgence of religion (Christiano et al., 2016). With the resurgence of religion came Fundamentalism, which originated in American Protestantism. Fundamentalists where known for practicing the essential fundamentals of Christianity, fighting back the modernization of religion.

Immigrants are unfortunately force to adapt to an “unknown region” culture, instead of their own just to make a living. Globalization is nearly leading towards cultural homogenization(1); this is unfortunate because indigenous languages(2) could become more endangered which leads to very few speakers who are the old folks, the culture will come unrecognizable, and the younger generation will lose connection between their ancestry(3).

Frank et al. (2015), describes the term ‘globalisation’ into two perspectives. One view is that it makes people around the world became closer and more connected. Another side is Capitalism has the power to set the rules and pricing in the world’s economy. Regardless, the writer claimed that globalisation may affect economic inefficiency and ruin the environment. According to Sealy et al. (2010), the writer believed that the Sustainable Management System implemented in the organisation could make the company become successful. + Add ว่า SMSs คืออะไร Although there are some drawbacks of globalisation, the benefits outweigh by three significant reasons, namely the improvement in the company’s commitment to the environmental issue, the growth of an economy and the reduction in the unemployment rate. This essay will consider arguments of implementing Corporate Responsible Management agendas in global companies to some of the problems with these views. It will then put forward reasons about in what way a better world might be achieved.

Additionally, Roger Waldinger’s How the Other Half Works provides the perfect example of how globalization can affect the labor market of not only developing nations, but also the markets of heavily developed countries like the United States. Waldinger states, “The immigrants were different from ‘us,’ but their differences served as a positive signal for selection; the immigrants ‘otherness’; was associated with a set of behavioral characteristics that employers generally liked” (Waldinger, 161). While the idea that the outsourcing associated with globalization is responsible for essentially taking away jobs from workers in prosperous countries, this quotation and the article as a whole provide evidence that demonstrates that even when provided with those job opportunities, American’s aren’t as willing to perform the job as well as immigrants who possess qualities more similar to workers in impoverished nations. In prosperous nations, such as the United States, it is more difficult to find legal citizens that are willing to perform low skill jobs. There are many people feel that basic American education makes them overqualified for positions that require difficult work, yet don’t pay a substantial wage. Employers seek workers with specific behavioral characteristics, such as minimal hostility towards authority, reliability, and dedication to the job, which is what often leads them to outsource production to developing countries with desperate populations willing to work

Many times we take things for granted, especially when we have lived our whole lives in a bubble where there are tremendous changes but nothing that takes what we have. That’s not the case for many people living in a condition where no one should be living. Haiti is a country where poverty is a big problem, where people starve themselves, no jobs, etc. Is a country where globalization has impacted the environment a big way.

More than half percent of world’s population are women, and women play a very important role in our society. They are usually the most exploited and the primary caregivers to their families. Back in the old days, a woman who has a career was unheard of. In worldwide, a woman’s job was taking care of her family. They were expected to stay home, take care of the children and let their husband be the breadwinner. However, globalization has had a dramatic effect and “has greatly improved the lives of women worldwide, particularly the lives of those women in the developing world” (Buchok 2015). In fact, globalization has contradictory effects on women in many different areas of life, including education, employment, health, and civil rights. It particularly has created a tremendous impact on women in the workplace in developing nations within the past two decades.

With the changes in the global economy, pegged with the advancement of technology, companies in the United States must reconsider their strategies to compete with international counterparts. It was only 50 years ago, a company in anywhere town, America could carve out space in a market for themselves and do well without a competitor in sight. Things have changed now and not is the threat of a Wal-Mart moving into your neighborhood a fear of the small to medium-sized company, international companies have also set their eyes on the United States. With as the leading consumer market with a 28% of the world’s consumer market, nearly four times larger than distant second China, there is no wonder why any other country would want to penetrate the most lucrative market on the planet. This is owed to the growth of globalization and the expansion of technology into instruments beyond research, entertainment, and communication, and into the world of digital and cryptographic currency. What the global economy is beginning to realize is: there are still untapped markets where profits could be astronomical. Many developing countries are beginning to adopt practices and methods of developed countries on a smaller scale, with the help of technology. As the prevalence of new markets and a new form of currency grows, there is no doubt larger companies will be able to seize the opportunity to make in these markets.

Globalization is briefly identified as, “the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operation on an international scale.” Some scholars argue that globalization threaten or may end nations or nation-states. Scholars should no longer conceptualize globalism and nationalism as conflicting categories (Wang); rather, they should see how globalism and nationalism can coincide within a nation. Taiwan is an example of how national identity is established in the face of globalization.

The effect globalization has on the slums, informal settlements, and poverty in Cairo takes on more specific forms as seen by the impact privatization has on industries that are key sources of income for many. The Zabaleen, who live in makeshift settlements on agricultural land at the western and northern fringes of Cairo metropolitan region, have been the traditional garbage collectors and recyclers in Cairo for decades (Fahmi, 2005). It is estimated in 1997, the Zabaleen collected up to 3,000 tonnes of garbage every day on average, with “85 percent being recycled directly through micro-enterprises that generated jobs and incomes for the local community” (Fahmi, 2005). This system of collection makes up the livelihoods for many of the families over the course of generations. However, the Zabaleen’s “small scale, family owned businesses of door-to-door collection and recycling have been officially perceived as lacking modern equipment and hygienic practices” (Fahmi & Sutton, 2006). Instead, as a result of Cairo reaching out internationally and seeking multi-national partnerships with the technology-intensive waste management corporations, the Zabaleen risk losing their way of life and source of income (Fahmi, 2005). Having their jobs being taken up by foreign companies would be devastating to the already struggling Zabaleen. As Fahmi and Sutton (2006) state, the authorities do not intend to compensate them for these changes and transition to a more technologically intensive
