Global BusinessDid you know that…?


By the early part of the 21st century more than $1.5 trillion in national currencies were traded daily to support the expanded levels of trade and investment

Global Job Market



• Workers in developing countries now have more occupational choices then ever before.

• Educated workers in developing countries are able to compete on the global job market for high paying jobs.

• Production workers in developing countries are not only able to compete, they have a strong advantage over their counterparts in the industrialized world.

Global Healthcare



The cost of surgery in India, Thailand or South Africa can be one-tenth of what it is in the United States or Western Europe, and sometimes even less. A heart-valve replacement that would cost $200,000 or more in the US, for example, goes for $10,000 in India--and that includes round-trip airfare and a brief vacation package.

Political Globalisation



In 1909 there were 37 inter-governmental organisations (IGOs) and 176 international non-governmental organisations (INGOs)

By 1996 there were 260 IGOs and 5,472 INGOs

Ecological Globalisation



Pollution from countries around the world causes global temperatures and then sea levels to rise due to ice melting.

It is estimated that 2,000 of the Indonesia’s lush tropical islands could disappear by 2030 due to rising sea levels.

There are more than 200 million migrants around the

world today.

Cultural Globalisation

Global Travel



WHO estimates that up to 500,000 people are on planes at any one time.

In 2008, there were over 922 million international tourist arrivals.

Technical Globalisation



There are over 500 million active Facebook users and 200 million Facebook Mobile users.

If Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest in the world behind China and India. Facebook Mobile would be the 5th largest.

Global Language



Over 400,000 people speak English as their first language and over 1.4 billion speak it as their second language. That is around 1/3 of the world population
