Globalization has, for better or worse, altered the economic arena for every country in the world. For many less developed countries, globalization has leveled the playing field so that their economies can compete with the larger, more developed ones such as the United States and other large western economies. For instance, technical engineers in India and China are now just as qualified as engineers in America, but at half the cost. The once large and prosperous service sector in the United States as well as telemarketing services have largely been sourced to India as a large exodus of American multinational corporations find cheaper workers who deliver comparable quality. This then seems to be the essence of globalization - businesses

Data was gathered from four major sources, Thomson One, Securities and Exchange Commission, Hoovers, and Wharton. Thomson One was used to gather merger and acquisition announcement data that involved high tech, telecommunications, industrial and consumer services and products consisting of transaction values no less than $500 million. The Securities and Exchange Commissions’lwebsite was used to gather a list of the firm’s rivals by reading their 10-k. The Claremont McKenna Hoovers data base was used to find any competitors not listed in the SEC’s 10-k filings. Wharton School of Business database allowed us access to compustat, which consisted of quarterly R&D data as well as the Center for Research and Security Prices (CRSP), which provided us with daily stock data. All of the information utilized fell between the years of 1990 and 2014.

This session will outline the implication of different M&A trends in North America aftermarket and its impact on the channel members.

To maintain the goods and services trade that we have with other countries, businesses and business

I do agree with the statement. Selling foreign products in the United States promotes those products over ones that are made in the US. Eventually as foreign products get sold more the amount of similar products that are created in the United States will drop, and will cause jobs to be lost. We can see how many jobs are being moved to other countries because they can make products cheaper there. Today many people just want to get products at the cheapest price possible, making these foreign products appealing for buyers. In some cases such as foreign cars, the look of the cars can be more appealing to buyers, which brings up the sales of foreign cars, but decreases the sales of cars made in the US. As the demand for local products such as

Globalization is simply the process by which people, economies, and governments around the world become increasingly interconnected through the incorporation of economies and societies (Steger, 2010). Examples of major players of the global world include international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO) as well as nongovernmental organizations such as Greenpeace. The international organizations regulate trade between nations by drafting trade agreements and acting as negotiators. Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. However, the benefits of globalization far outweigh its costs. For instance, Globalization promotes efficiency and productivity, Global institutions manage the settlement of government-to-government disputes and economic gains from globalization have increased access to health care as well as clean water.

Although the author’s main argument is based on job creation by foreign companies in the United States, he has not failed in his article to show the grievances by the government concerning the same. He shows that too much of foreign investment is sickening and creates an imbalance in trade. For example, the author explain how Germany successfully creates multibillion-dollar

There has been a great deal of discussion in recent years about globalization, its impact has been both praised and criticized. Globalization is defined as the process enabling financial and investment markets to operate internationally, largely as a result of deregulation and improved communications. I believe the technological advances have had a positive impact on globalization. The use of cellular/mobile phones and the internet have allowed easier access to conduct business anywhere in the world.

Globalization refers to a shift towards a more integrated and interdependent world economy. (Hill & Jain, 2014, p.5). International trade has changed its course due to the enhancements and innovations of globalization. To meet the competitive world many countries, developing as well as developed form agreements with each other to remain competitive and strive to higher levels.

They pursued policies to foster the rapid development of foreign-invested factories, which assemble imported components into consumer goods for export, and liberalizing trading rights. China is now one of the most important markets for U.S. exports: in 2006, U.S. exports to China totalled $55.2 billion. Export growth has led to rapid economic growth. To increase exports,

Globalization is the increasing interdependence and connectedness of the world, its businesses and it markets, as well as flow of goods, ideas, technology, people etc. This phenomenon has increased vastly over the years due to technological advances, telecommunications and internet. As the world becomes a global economy, countries have the opportunity to advance more but with the catch that there is also increased competition. Thus as it becomes more common and powerful a feature, it also has some resistance as well. (InvestorWords, n.d.)

People around the world are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow quicker than ever. Products produced in one part of a country are available to the rest of the world. It is much easier for people to travel, communicate and do business internationally. This whole phenomenon has been called globalization. Spurred on in the past by merchants, explorers, colonialists and internationalists, globalization has in more recent times been increasing rapidly due to improvements in communications, information and transport technology. It has also been encouraged by trade liberalization and financial market deregulation.

This book provided great insight regarding foreign direct investment (FDI) and it ability to stimulate domestic enterprises productivity. It contained specific research conducted in the Chinese economy and in relation to my research topic, identified and explored China receiving the largest FDI influx of developing economies since 1993. Particular interests and strength in this book:

The perspective of Driffield and Karoglou (2016) on this issue, discuss that the biggest restriction to free trade and globalization is uncertainty. Therefore, many organizations will hinder when it comes making strategic choices about their financial states. Subsequently they derive that one of the most positive impacts that has occurred because globalization is the creation of the free market. They say that the creation of this market has made it easier for organization in the car industry to easily import and export the good that they require from other border countries.

Globalization in economy and international trade has been an integral part of our life starting from the foods we take daily to the electronics and vehicles that we use every day. The worldwide economic globalization makes it impossible for countries not to depend on one another. It is established on the mutual supplies for each other with the products or services that they don’t have of their own. Economic globalization enables individuals to use goods from various part of the world without travelling to those countries they are made through imports and exports.
