INTRODUCTION ABOUT GLOBALIZATION
BUILDING GLOBAL COMPANIES
GLOBAL MANAGERS
Globalization
WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?• The trend toward countries joining together
economically,• Education• Society • Politics and • Viewing themselves not only through their
national identity but also as part of the world as a whole.
NEED FOR
GLOBALIZATION
Technology in developing countries.
It has benefited women and children’s rights.
• EXAMPLE:• Uganda has the world's
youngest population, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
• It also has the highest youth (ages 15-24)
• unemployment rate: 83 percent. • Uganda Rural Development
Programme / World Bank
It raises life expectancy.
It is reducing poverty worldwide.
It promotes world peace.
IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION
• COMMUNICATION• TRANSPORTATION• TRADE• LIBERALISATION
IMPORTANCE AND NEED
• Global Marketing / Advertising
• Outsourcing
PROS• Pros Of Globalization
• With globalization, there is a global market for companies to trade their products & a wider range of options for people, to choose from among the products of different nations.
• Developing countries benefit a lot from globalization, as there is a sound flow of money and thus, a decrease in the currency difference.
• To meet the increasing demands that follow globalization, there is an increase in the production sector. This gives loads of options to the manufacturers as well.
• Competition keeps prices relatively low, and as a result, inflation is less likely to occur.
……CONTD• The focus is diverted and segregated among all the
nations. No country remains the single power head; instead there are compartmentalized power sectors. The decisions at higher levels are meant for the people at large.
• Communication among the countries is on the rise, which allows for better understanding and broader vision.
• As communication increases amongst two countries, there is interchange of cultures as well. We get to know more about the other's cultural preferences.
• As we feed to each other's financial needs, the ecological imbalance is also met . Governments of countries show concern about each other.
CONS
• Globalization is causing Europeans to lose their jobs as work is being outsourced to the Asian countries. The cost of labor in the Asian countries is low as compared to other countries.
• The high rate of profit for the companies, in Asia, has resulted in a pressure on the employed Europeans, who are always under the threat of the business being outsourced.
• Companies are opening their counterparts in other countries. This results in transferring the quality of their product to other countries, thereby increasing the chances of depreciation in terms of quality.
……CONTD
• There are experts who believe that globalization is the cause for the invasion of communicable diseases and social degeneration in countries.
• The threat that the corporate would rule the world is on high, as there is a lot of money invested by them.
• It is often argued that poor countries are exploited by the richer countries where the work force is taken advantage of and low wages are implemented.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OFGLOBALIZATION
Advantages Disadvantages
Increased free trade between nations Increased flow of skilled and non-skilled jobs from developed to developing nations as corporations seek out the cheapest labor
Increased liquidity of capital allowing investors in developed nations to invest in developing nations
Increased likelihood of economic disruptions in one nation effecting all nations
Corporations have greater flexibility to operate across borders
Corporate influence of nation-states far exceeds that of civil society organizations and average individuals
Global mass media ties the world together
Threat that control of world media by a handful of corporations will limit cultural expression
Increased flow of communications allows vital information to be shared between individuals and corporations around the world
Greater chance of reactions for globalization being violent in an attempt to preserve cultural heritage
Advantages Disadvantages
Greater ease and speed of transportation for goods and people
Greater risk of diseases being transported unintentionally between nations
Reduction of cultural barriers increases the global village effect
Spread of a materialistic lifestyle and attitude that sees consumption as the path to prosperity
Spread of democratic ideals to developed nations
International bodies like the World Trade Organization infringe on national and individual sovereignty
Reduction of likelihood of war between developed nations
Increase in the chances of civil war within developing countries and open war between developing countries as they vie for resources
Increases in environmental protection in developed nations
Decreases in environmental integrity as polluting corporations take advantage of weak regulatory rules in developing countries
CHALLENGES• Productivity: Productivity is improved by producing in countries
where production is most efficient. However, this often means workers in one country lose jobs as their work moves to more efficient locations.
• Consumers: Consumers benefit from a wider array of competitively priced goods. However, they have less control over supplies coming from abroad than over goods produced domestically.
• Employment: Employment may increase as economic growth and specialization take hold. However, domestic employment fluctuates according to foreign conditions (such as economic crises elsewhere that reduce demand for employment domestically).
• The Environment: As global consumption increases due to globalization, more natural resources deplete. Differing environmental standards across countries create opportunities for businesses to exploit resources in countries with the least amount of environmental protection regulation.
• Monetary and Fiscal Conditions: As money moves more freely, it is better able to seek out the best investment opportunities on a global scale. However, governments have less control over the inflow and outflow of funds. Furthermore, capital seems to be flowing more freely to countries with lower tax rates and less regulatory restrictions, putting additional pressures on national fiscal and monetary policies.
• Sovereignty: Globalization may undermine national sovereignty in two ways: First, contact with other countries creates more cultural borrowing and may dilute a country's cultural uniqueness. Second, countries are concerned that important decisions may be made abroad by foreign owners of domestically located firms.
IMPACT• India’s growth rate in the 1970’s was very low at 3% and GDP
growth in countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Korea, and Mexico was more than twice that of India.
• Though India’s average annual growth rate almost doubled in the eighties to 5.9%, it was still lower than the growth rate in China, Korea and Indonesia. The pick up in GDP growth has helped improve India’s global position.
• India’s position in the global economy has improved from the 8th position in 1991 to 4th place in 2001; when GDP is calculated on a purchasing power parity basis.
• During 1991-92 the first year of Rao’s reforms program, The Indian economy grew by 0.9%only.
• However the GDP growth accelerated to 5.3 % in 1992-93, and 6.2% 1993- 94.
• A growth rate of above 8% was an achievement by the Indian economy during the year 2003-04.
• India is ranked 18th among the world’s leading exporters of services with a share of 1.3% in world exports
• India’s GDP growth rate can be seen from the following graph since independence
