The Globalization Of Markets

The globalization of markets refers to the merging

of historically distinct and separate national markets into one huge global marketplace
In many industries, it is no longer meaningful to talk about the “German market” or the “American market”
Instead, there is only the global market

The Globalization Of Markets

Falling trade barriers make it easier to sell

internationally
The tastes and preferences of consumers are converging on some global norm
Firms help create the global market by offering the same basic products worldwide
Слайд 5

The Globalization Of Production

The globalization of production refers to the sourcing

of goods and services from locations around the globe to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production like land, labor, and capital

The World Trade Organization (like its predecessor

GATT) is primarily responsible for policing the world trading system and making sure that nation-states adhere to the rules laid down in trade treaties signed by WTO members
In 2007, the 150 nations that accounted for 97% of world trade were WTO members
The WTO promotes lower barriers to trade and investment

Drivers Of Globalization

Two macro factors underlie the trend toward greater

globalization:
the decline in barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital that has occurred since the end of World War II
technological change

Declining Trade And Investment Barriers

International trade occurs when a firm exports

goods or services to consumers in another country
Foreign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a firm invests resources in business activities outside its home country
After World War II, advanced countries made a commitment to lower barriers to trade and investment
Since 1950, average tariffs have fallen significantly and are now at about 4%
Countries have also been opening markets to FDI

Declining Trade And Investment Barriers

Lower barriers to trade and investment mean:
that

firms can view the world, rather than a single country, as their market
that firms can base production in the optimal location for that activity

of markets a reality
Important advances have occurred in:
microprocessors and telecommunications
the Internet and World Wide Web
transportation technology

The Role Of Technological Change

Implications of technological change for the globalization

of production include:
lower transportation costs that enable firms to disperse production to economical, geographically separate locations
lower information processing and communication costs that enable firms to create and manage globally dispersed production systems
Слайд 17

The Role Of Technological Change

Implications of technological change for the globalization

of markets include:
low cost global communications networks help create electronic global marketplace

The Changing Demographics Of The Global Economy

There has been a

drastic change in the demographics of the world economy in the last 30 years
Four trends are important:
the Changing World Output and World Trade Picture
the Changing Foreign Direct Investment Picture
the Changing Nature of the Multinational Enterprise
the Changing World Order
Слайд 19

The Changing World Output And World Trade Picture In 1960, the

The Changing World Output And World Trade Picture

In 1960, the United

States accounted for over 40% of world economic activity
By 2006, the United States accounted for less than 20% of world economic activity
A similar trend occurred in other developed countries
The share of world output accounted for by developing nations is rising and is expected to account for more than 60% of world economic activity by 2020

The Changing Foreign Direct Investment Picture

In the 1960s, U.S. firms accounted

for about two-thirds of worldwide FDI flows
Today, the United States accounts for less than one-fifth of worldwide FDI flows
Other developed countries have followed a similar pattern
In contrast, the share of FDI accounted for by developing countries has risen from less than 2% in 1980 to almost 12% in 2005
Developing countries, especially China, have also become popular destinations for FDI

The Changing Nature Of The Multinational Enterprise A multinational enterprise (MNE)

The Changing Nature Of The Multinational Enterprise

A multinational enterprise (MNE) is

any business that has productive activities in two or more countries
Since the 1960s, there has been a rise in non-U.S. multinationals, and a growth of mini-multinationals
Слайд 25

The Changing World Order

Many former Communist nations in Europe and Asia

are now committed to democratic politics and free market economies and so, create new opportunities for international businesses
China and Latin America are also moving toward greater free market reforms

The Global Economy Of The Twenty-first Century

The world is moving

toward a more global economic system, but globalization is not inevitable
Globalization also brings risks like the financial crisis that swept through South East Asia in the late 1990s
Слайд 27

The Globalization Debate

Is the shift toward a more integrated and

interdependent global economy a good thing?
Supporters believe that increased trade and cross-border investment mean lower prices for goods and services, greater economic growth, higher consumer income, and more jobs
Critics worry that globalization will cause job losses, environmental degradation, and the cultural imperialism of global media and MNEs
Слайд 28

Anti-Globalization Protests More than 40,000 anti-globalization protesters took to the street

Anti-Globalization Protests

More than 40,000 anti-globalization protesters took to the street at

the WTO meeting in Seattle in 1999
Protesters now regularly show up at most major meetings of global institutions

Globalization, Jobs, And Income

Globalization critics argue that falling barriers to

trade are destroying manufacturing jobs in advanced countries
Supporters of globalization contend that the benefits of this trend outweigh the costs—that countries will specialize in what they do most efficiently and trade for other goods—and all countries will benefit
Слайд 30

Globalization, Labor Policies, And The Environment Globalization critics argue that firms

Globalization, Labor Policies, And The Environment

Globalization critics argue that firms avoid

costly efforts to adhere to labor and environmental regulations by moving production to countries where such regulations do not exist, or are not enforced
Globalization supporters claim that tougher environmental and labor standards are associated with economic progress, so as countries get richer from free trade, they get tougher environmental and labor regulations
Слайд 31

Globalization And National Sovereignty Critics of globalization worry that today’s interdependent

Globalization And National Sovereignty

Critics of globalization worry that today’s interdependent

global economy is shifting economic power away from national governments toward supranational organizations like the WTO, the EU, and the UN
Supporters of globalization contend that the power of these organizations is limited to what nation-states agree to grant, and that the power of the organizations lies in their ability to get countries to agree to follow certain actions
Слайд 32

Globalization And The World’s Poor Critics of globalization argue that the

Globalization And The World’s Poor

Critics of globalization argue that the

gap between rich nations and poor nations is getting wider
Supporters of globalization claim that the best way for the poor nations to improve their situation is to reduce barriers to trade and investment and implement economic policies based on free market economies, and to receive debt forgiveness for debts incurred under totalitarian regimes
