Main Ideas and Concepts (Globalization)

Meaning of globalization

  • The word globalization comes from “globe”, meaning world.
  • In simple terms, globalization is the world becoming one interconnected system, where distance is no longer a major obstacle.

How globalization happens (core process)

Globalization occurs through the coordinating and leveraging of an organization’s resources—typically:

  • Human resources
  • Money
  • Physical assets

These resources are coordinated with the organization’s goals to:

  • gain opportunities
  • respond to threats from the global market

Why it matters

  • Globalization affects people’s behavior and everyday life.
  • It has been happening for decades, and it still shapes today’s conditions.
  • For business administration students/business people, it’s important to learn how to use globalization strategically.

Growth indicators of globalization

  • More companies operating across borders
  • Rising volume of international trade and international investment
  • Rapid expansion of global capital flow, including increases in foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade

Effects on companies and living standards

  • Firms that do international business often become more efficient, partly due to:
    • larger-scale productivity
  • Globalization can raise standard of living because the world economy becomes richer and more prosperous.

Related Terms: Global Products and Global Consumers

Global product (connection to market globalization)

  • Products are consumed worldwide
  • Examples mentioned include MasterCard, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi
  • Note: subtitles suggest these products are accepted across countries, sometimes with adaptation to local tastes and purchasing behavior.

Global consumer (connection to consumer globalization)

  • Consumers become more similar in tastes because industries and markets are interconnected.
  • Global consumer culture is increasing:
    • people buy not only local products but also products from other countries
    • purchases happen online and offline
  • Examples mentioned include brands described as “found throughout the world,” though some brand lists were unclear due to subtitle errors.

Global Production

Definition

  • Global production is a tendency for companies to produce goods/services from different locations worldwide.
  • Companies seek advantages from differences between countries, especially:
    • cost
    • quality
    • labor and other production-factor differences

Goal

  • Lower costs with higher quality and better product functions
  • Improve competitiveness and help companies capture market share

Illustrative example (airplane/parts)

  • The subtitles describe an aircraft production scenario where:
    • components are produced in different places
    • then assembled into a final product
  • Key lesson: distributed component manufacturing creates a global influence on the final product.

Triggers / Factors That Drive Globalization

1) Decline in trade and investment barriers

  • International trade and FDI tend to grow when barriers reduce.

Types of barriers mentioned

  • Tariff barriers: import duties / import tariffs / export tariffs
  • Non-tariff barriers: quotas tied to administration and local content requirements

Policy agreement referenced

  • GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade), ratified in the Uruguay Round (1993)
  • The Uruguay Round also contributed to the foundation/forerunner of the World Trade Organization (WTO)

Subtitle definitions

  • International trade: a company exports goods/services to other countries
  • Foreign direct investment (FDI): a company invests abroad (e.g., factories/branches or collaboration)

2) Technological change

Technology helps companies reach global markets more easily, including:

  • computers (popularized since the 90s/late 20th century)
  • the internet
  • telephones/PC tablets (as internet-enabled devices)

Ongoing improvements include:

  • microprocessors
  • telecommunications
  • transportation technologies

Key point: technology reduces dependence on large headquarters and bureaucracy.

3) Changes in global economic demographics

(a) Shifts in world production and trade

  • Example trend mentioned:
    • US dominance decreases over time (from over 40% industrial output earlier to a lower share later)
  • Developing countries and newly industrialized countries increase participation, with export growth.
  • Examples listed: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Brazil

(b) Changes in multinational enterprises

  • Multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage in production activities across two or more countries.
  • Growth of smaller-scale “mini multinationals” is enabled by technology:
    • quicker access to global markets than larger competitors
    • focus on core competencies
    • more entrepreneurial ability due to less complicated bureaucracy
  • Examples listed include Graftech International (described as producing in four countries and selling electrodes to steel manufacturers), plus other examples that were unclear in subtitles.

Pros and Cons of Globalization

Pros (arguments presented)

  • Employment and national income argument (from free-trade supporters)
    • Globalization/free trade encourages specialization, making production more efficient.
    • If some countries specialize, they can import goods/services that aren’t produced domestically.
  • National development focus
    • By relocating labor-intensive activities abroad, countries can focus on:
      • improving domestic human resources
      • shifting toward technology or less labor-cost-dependent work

Cons (arguments presented)

  • Job loss / welfare concerns
    • Criticism: globalization can reduce job creation and harm factory workers’ welfare.
    • Reason: firms relocate factories to countries with lower wages
  • Example described
    • A US steel factory closes and operations move to a developing country (subtitles mention Honduras).
    • Subtitles claim poverty increased over time (attributed to “Barnett and the seal,” though the text was unclear).
  • National sovereignty criticism
    • Globalization increases interdependence among countries.
    • Economic power and influence can grow beyond government control via global/free-trade institutions and regional blocs.
    • If one country is affected, others may be affected too.
    • Example mentioned: the Greece crisis affected other European countries.

Method / Instructions: Managing a Global Market (Step-by-Step Approach)

The subtitles outline a practical approach for businesses entering global markets:

  1. Start with export-import (don’t immediately build overseas factories)

    • Export goods abroad first.
    • Distribute and test whether products are accepted in other countries.
    • Study consumer responses in the destination country.

  2. Learn and analyze differences by country

    • Pay attention to differences such as:
      • social and cultural factors
      • legal systems and regulations
      • other local conditions affecting operations and marketing

  3. Choose the next expansion step after market demand is proven

    • If the market looks promising:
      • consider opening a factory in the destination country or
      • use licensing arrangements (and similar strategies)

  4. Be sensitive to more than just country differences

    • A global business manager should understand:
      • differences among countries
      • policies/strategies used by firms in other countries
      • competitors and situational risks

  5. Build gradually

    • Begin small (export/import) and scale based on evidence from the foreign market.
