Introduction
The world economy today
Fewer self-contained national economies
More integrated global economic system with lower barriers to trade and investment
Transformation is called globalization
The volume of goods, services, and investments crossing national borders has expanded faster than world output for more than half a century
Globalization offers business opportunities
©McGraw-Hill Education
For businesses, this globalization process has produced many opportunities. Firms can expand their revenues by selling around the world and/or reduce their costs by producing in nations where key inputs, including labor, are cheap. The global expansion of enterprises has been facilitated by generally favorable political and economic trends. As globalization unfolds, it is transforming industries and creating anxiety among those who believed their jobs were protected from foreign competition.

What Is Globalization? 1
Globalization: shift toward a more integrated and interdependent world economy
Two key facets of globalization
Globalization of markets
Globalization of production
©McGraw-Hill Education
LO 1-1 Understand what is meant by the term globalization.
6
What Is Globalization? 2
The Globalization of Markets
The merging of historically distinct and separate national markets into one huge global marketplace
In many markets, the tastes and preferences of consumers in different nations are converging on some global norm, creating a global market
Examples: Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, IKEA, Starbucks, Apple
The most global of markets are for industrial goods and materials that serve universal needs around the world
Aluminum, oil, wheat, microprocessors
©McGraw-Hill Education
7
What Is Globalization? 3
The Globalization of Production
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 (labor, energy, land, and capital)
Lower overall cost structure
Improvement of the quality or functionality of a product to compete more effectively

9
What Is Globalization? 4
The Globalization of Production continued
Early outsourcing was primarily for manufacturing
Today, modern communications technology allows companies to outsource services
Impediments to globalization
Formal and informal trade barriers
Barriers to foreign direct investment
Transportation costs
Economic and political risk
Managerial challenge for coordinating a globally dispersed supply chain
©McGraw-Hill Education

The Emergence of Global Institutions 1
Global Institutions
Manage, regulate, and police the global market place
Promote the establishment of multinational treaties to govern the global business system
©McGraw-Hill Education
11
The Emergence of Global Institutions 2
World Trade Organization (WTO)
Polices world trading system and ensures nations adhere to the rules established in WTO treaties
Succeeded the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
164 nations accounted for 98 percent of world trade (2017)
©McGraw-Hill Education
12
Can the International Court of Justice Be Effective?
The International Court of Justice (www.icj-cij.org) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). Of the six principal organs of the UN, it is the only one not located in New York (United States); instead, the seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). The court’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by countries and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. But how effective can the UN International Court of Justice really be in the global marketplace with its many legal systems?

The Emergence of Global Institutions 3
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
Maintains order in the international monetary system
Lender of last resort
Requires nation-states to adopt specific economic policies in return for loans
World Bank

Drivers of Globalization 1
Two macro factors driving the move toward greater globalization
Decline in barriers to free flow of goods, services, and capital
Technological change
©McGraw-Hill Education
LO 1-2 Recognize the main drivers of globalization.
17
Drivers of Globalization 2
Declining Trade and Investment Barriers
International trade occurs when a firm exports goods or services to consumers in another country
Foreign direct investment occurs when a firm invests resources in business activities outside its home country
During 1920s and 1930s, many nations put up barriers to international trade to protect domestic industries
After WWII, advanced Western countries reduced barriers
GATT, Uruguay Round, and WTO

Drivers of Globalization 3
Declining Trade and Investment Barriers continued
Knowledge Society and Trade Agreements
World trade is predicted to increase more rapidly than world production for the foreseeable future
Produce more today and more of it traded across national borders
Consumers are more knowledgeable, which drives demand
Countries have been reducing restrictions to foreign investment and trade
Implications of fast-paced volume of world trade
More companies dispersing parts production
Economies of nation-states becoming more intertwined
World becoming significantly wealthier
©McGraw-Hill Education
The globalization of markets and production and the resulting growth of world trade, foreign direct investment, and imports all imply that firms are finding their home markets under attack from foreign competitors.

Drivers of Globalization 4
Role of Technological Change
Communications
Since World War II, microprocessor created explosive growth of high-power, lost-cost computing
Microprocessors also advanced telecommunications
Moore’s Law: as costs of microprocessors fall, their power increases
©McGraw-Hill Education
23
Drivers of Globalization 5
Role of Technological Change continued
Internet of Things
In 2017, 3.8 billion users (51 percent of global population)
Makes it easier for buyers and sellers to find each other
Transportation Technology
Commercial jets, superfreighters
Containerization
©McGraw-Hill Education
Containerization has revolutionized the transportation business, significantly lowering the costs of shipping goods over long distances. Because the international shipping industry is responsible for carrying about 90 percent of the volume of world trade in goods, this has been an extremely important development.
24
Drivers of Globalization 6
Role of Technological Change continued
Implications for the Globalization of Production
Lower transportation costs makes geographically dispersed production system more economical
Allows firms to better respond to customer demands
Implications for the Globalization of Markets
Low cost communication networks create electronic global marketplace
Low cost transportation makes shipping products around the world economical
Reduced cultural distance
Converging consumer tastes and preferences
©McGraw-Hill Education
Despite these trends, we must be careful not to overemphasize their importance. While modern communications and transportation technologies are ushering in the “global village,” significant national differences remain in culture, consumer preferences, and business practices.

The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 1
Early 1960s
U.S. dominated the world economy, world trade
U.S. dominated world FDI
U.S. MNEs dominated international business
About half the world was off limits to Western international business
Today, much has changed
©McGraw-Hill Education
LO 1-3 Describe the changing nature of the global economy.
26
The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 2
The Changing World Output and World Trade Picture
Early 1960s
U.S. was dominant in industrial power, accounting for about 38 percent of world manufacturing output
By 2018
U.S. accounts for only 15.8 percent
Germany, France, the U.K., and Canada had similar decline
Rapid economic growth now in countries like China, India, Russia, and Brazil
Further relative decline by the U.S., Germany, and Japan; U.K. is likely

The Changing Foreign Direct Investment Picture
World output generated by developing countries steadily increasing since 1960s
Stock of foreign direct investment (total cumulative value of foreign investments) generated by rich industrial countries declining
Cross-border flows of foreign direct investment rising
Largest developing country recipients of FDI are China, Mexico, and Brazil

The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 4
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, a rise of non-U.S. multinationals and growth of mini-multinationals
Non-U.S. Multinationals
Large number of U.S. multinationals reflects U.S. economic dominance
Today, world economy shifting away from North America and Western Europe

The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 5
The Changing Nature of the Multinational Enterprise continued
The Rise of Mini-Multinationals
More small- and medium-size businesses (mini-multinationals) involved in international trade and investment
Internet lowers barriers that smaller firms face in building international sales
©McGraw-Hill Education
34
Which Is More Important—Similarities or Differences?
International strategy has seen significant changes in recent years. Multinational enterprises now have to evaluate their core uniqueness and how they can drive their uniqueness to be leveraged in the global marketplace better. For some, such thinking may represent a major shift—to focus on similarities across nations and customers instead of differences. This could be an important shift because companies and their people are trained to look for differences and form strategies based on satisfying the needs of customers with slight or significant differences across the globe. In the future, we may be looking for similarities first and then focusing on the similarities that outweigh the differences in tastes, wants, and needs. Do you agree that focusing on similarities across countries is a better way to developing strategy than focusing on differences?

The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 6
The Changing World Order
Collapse of communism in Eastern Europe
Greater export and investment opportunities, but political unrest is increasing risk
Economic development in China
Huge opportunities despite continued government control, but also new competition from Chinese firms
Free market reforms and democracy in Latin America
New markets and new sources of materials and production, but economic and political risk remains high
©McGraw-Hill Education
36
The Changing Demographics of the Global Economy 7
Global Economy of the Twenty-First Century
A more integrated global economy
New opportunities for firms
But, political and economic disruptions can upset plans
The risk of a global financial crisis
©McGraw-Hill Education
37
The Globalization Debate 1
Is the shift toward a more integrated and interdependent global economy a good thing?
Experts believe globalization promotes greater prosperity in the global economy, more jobs, and lower prices for goods and services
Others feel that globalization is not beneficial
©McGraw-Hill Education
LO 1-4 Explain the main arguments in the debate over the impact of globalization.
38
The Globalization Debate 2
Antiglobalization Protests
Began with WTO protest in December 1999 in Seattle
Protest turned violent
Protestors fear globalization has detrimental effects on living standards, wages, and the environment
Theory and evidence suggests these fears are exaggerated
©McGraw-Hill Education
39
The Globalization Debate 3
Globalization, Jobs, and Income
Falling trade barriers destroy manufacturing jobs in wealthy economies (U.S. and western Europe)
Service activities increasingly outsourced to nations with lower labor costs
Supporters say benefits outweigh the costs
Outsourcing allows a company to reduce its cost structure and reduce prices
©McGraw-Hill Education
40
The Globalization Debate 4
Globalization, Jobs, and Income continued
Share of labor in national income has declined
Attributed to a fall in unskilled labor
Gap between poorest and richest segments of society has widened
In most countries, real income levels increased for all
Many advanced economies report shortage of highly skilled workers and an excess of unskilled workers
©McGraw-Hill Education
41
The Globalization Debate 5
Globalization, Labor Policies, and the Environment
Critics argue that the lack of labor and environmental regulations in less developed countries attract investment
Adhering to environmental regulations increases costs of manufacturing
Supporters argue that tougher regulations lead to economic progress
Tougher regulations come with economic progress
Studies show a hump-shaped relationship between income levels and pollution levels

43
The Globalization Debate 6
Globalization and National Sovereignty
Critics worry economic power is shifting away from national governments and toward supranational organizations such as the WTO, the European Union, and the UN
Supporters say the power of these organizations is limited to what nation-states collectively agree to grant
Must be able to persuade members states to follow certain actions
Without the support of members, the organizations have no power
©McGraw-Hill Education
44
The Globalization Debate 7
Globalization and the World’s Poor
Critics argue the gap between rich and poor is wider and the benefits of globalization not shared equally
Many poor nations are under totalitarian regimes, suffer from endemic corruption, have few property rights, are involved in war, have rapidly expanding populations, are burdened by high debt
No money to invest in public infrastructure
Debt relief movements
Rich nations gave to World Bank and IMF
Reduce import barriers from poor nations
©McGraw-Hill Education
45
Managing in the Global Marketplace
International business is any firm that is engaged in international trade or investment
Managing international business differs from managing domestic business
Practices vary country by country
Issues are more complex
Need to understand rules governing international trade and investment
Need to convert currency
©McGraw-Hill Education
LO 1-5 Understand how the process of globalization is creating opportunities and challenges for management practice.

Figure 1.4 FDI Inflows, Text Alternative
Throughout the 1990s, the amount of investment for both developed and developing countries increased steadily to just under $500,000 in 1997.
A surge in foreign direct investment went from 1998 to 2000, ending at a high of $1,400,000. This surge was followed by a slump from 2001 to 2003, falling to less than $600,000.
Foreign direct investment grew again from 2004 to 2007, when it hit record levels of $1,800,000.
The inflows slowed again in 2008 and 2009, ending at just over $1 million. It rose again to just over $1,500,000 but hit a slump again in 2013 in 2014, ending at $1,350,000.
In 2020, foreign direct investment hit $2,500,000.
From 1990 to 2002, the majority of the foreign direct investment was for developed countries. From 2003 onward, the share for developing countries continually increased, accounting for about one third in 2007 and one half in 2014. The amount has remained steady (approximately $750,000), while foreign direct investments for developed countries have increased steadily in the last five years.
