Globalisation

Definition of globalisation is the increasing in the communication of countries which results from trading and cultural exchange.In this eassay I will be researching about the positives and negatives about globalisation.

Globalisation has effects on the environment, culture, political systems, economic devel`opment, prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. Globalisation allows free transfer of capital, goods, and services across nations.

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.

Globalisation has increased international trade as well as investment. This has dealt to the signing of international free trade agreements such as the GATT and regional trade agreements. Information costs have also been reduced which leads to a de-fragmentation of the industry. Due to the free trade agreements, companies have started to outsource their production capabilities (mainly) to countries such as China and India

We have seen the main aspects of Globalisation and his mechanisms during this report. Now we are going to explain the difference between globalisation and internationalisation. This are two words very close but not similar. Firstly, we will define internationalisation rigorously, and then we will see what internationalisation in the world is. We will try to explain the main stage. We also define globalization to be able to compare the two terms. Finally we underline the differences and similarities of globalisation and internationalisation.

Globalisation is a complex and multifaceted set of processes having diverse and widespread impacts on human societies worldwide. Despite widespread interest in its emergence and impact there is only a limited consensus in the literature on what precisely globalisation actually is (Saker et al. 2004). Reviews of existing literature has identified some of the key defining features of globalisation. Globalisation can be defined as a set of processes that are: “changing the nature of human interaction across a wide range of spheres including the economic, political, social and technological environment. The process of change

Globalisation’s advantages and disadvantages of have been a controversial issue for a long time, supporters see that Globalisation could:

Globalisation can be argued to be the way of the future, the way to connect countries, cultures and individuals. It is argued that the benefits encourage a less developed country to join in the path of globalisation is that in theory it is meant to allow for the free movement of labour, this being beneficial to a country that may be experiencing labour shortages. This can be seen to be effective in the European Union as they allowed migrants from Eastern Europe to move west to meet with their labour demand. Another benefit of globalisation could be an increase in competition

Globalization, according to the Levin Institute (2016), has allowed an increase in the amount of people and goods moving throughout the world. Both people and goods have the ability to carry disease with them across the borders of our nations. Attempts to reduce the amount of international trade and travel do not provide a reasonable solution to this problem. The world continues to become more connected and the focus needs to be on ways to cope with this change instead of seeking to limit it. It is my belief that the focus should be on sharing medical information and creating preventative measures for disease. By educating more people on what causes diseases to spread, we can help reduce the amount of people inadvertently passing diseases to others.

Globalisation is something that has been around for many years and will continue to be for many more. Globalisation is a worldwide topic, therefore there are multiple different interpretations on how it may be described, for instance some may say that globalisation is a wave of interconnectedness. For the purpose of this essay I will introduce the definition from the Oxford Dictionary as it is presented in an accurate and easily comprehended manner: “The process by which businesses or other organisations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.” (English Oxford Living Dictionaries, 2017) From my own understanding this definition provides the idea that globalisation is basically the dynamics of business throughout various different platforms, such as The Economy. Globalisation is a very diverse subjects as there are lots of positive aspects to the effects it has but there are also many downfalls in regards to the effects that it brings. This essay will primarily focus on the effects Globalisation has had on different economies and how they are not always beneficial towards society.

Globalisation is evident in our everyday living, and is inescapable; as it portrays many forms and directly influences each individual. Maston (p.4, 2014) defines globalisation as an ‘increasing interconnectedness of different parts of the world through common processes of economic, environmental, political and cultural change’. This complex global system can be incorporated, embraced or rejected by a local culture. However, throughout humanity’s existence, unique locations, beliefs, values and way of living are disturbed by the proliferation of change from other customs. Physical, social and cultural elements are reshaped which can result in a sense of detachment and loss of place and culture. The process of globalisation,

Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of a huge growth in trade and cultural exchange. Large companies are no longer located in one single country but are multinational corporations with businesses in many countries. Economic globalisation has had developments such as increased international trade and easer movement of capital and services, which have contributed to the improvements in welfare for most of the world. Statistics highlight how economic inequality among countries has declined sharply in the past 20 years, and that extra money generated by foreign investment is spent on improving education, health and infrastructure in developing countries. However, there are also concerns brought by globalisation such as the threat posed to local cultural products, which contributes to the loss of small local business.

Globalization brings together different cultures. In the article Globalization A Very Short Introduction the author Manfred B.Steger states “conversely, the term globalization should be used to refer to a set of social processes that are thought to transform our present social condition into one of globality”. Steger also states that globalization was supposed to expand nationality, but it was used more as a political power to reduce restrictions on trade and this is where the logic of development behind NAFTA came about. Globalization is a shifting of different contact, this is exemplified in the country of Guatemala.

Globalisation is phenomenon that came into practise in the late 80’s. A mere word that easily sums up the amplified movement of labour, information, technology and ideas, commodities and currency across international boundaries that led to the expansion of the global connectivity amongst the population. This connectivity has impacted and is still altering the foundations of socio-political structures as well as the cultural and economical configurations of nations. In order to analyse this topic, the impacts of globalisation will be critiqued and compared with data to show how it influences both economically developed and developing nations and in turn is responsible for being a vital factor in sculpting the 21st century and in the future ahead.
