1. I personally have benefited from globalization in the fact that with with some companies I buy good from, they have sent their manufacturing overseas and it has actually brought down the price of their product. One example of this would have to be Saga Outerwear. They make ski gear and they originally made their product in the U.S. The prices for their gear was hiked up due to the cost of manufacturing here. They then sent their manufacturing overseas and they have been able to sell their product even cheaper. This has benefited me because I ski and being able to get the ski gear cheaper than before, benefited me.

 

2. I personally do not know anyone that has been negatively impacted by globalization. However, being from Yakima, I do see a lot of our jobs go to migrant workers that are brought up here from Mexico. People in Yakima won't work as hard or for the same wages that the migrant workers will, so they are brought up here to work. It makes sense for the business to do and if the migrant workers want the jobs, then they should get them if other people are not willing to work.

 

3. For Corrin it is important for her to understand globalization because she must understand everything that goes on with a supply chain. As manager, she must understand that not everything is going to happen in the same place. For example, if she was to manage a supply chain for Wal Mart, she must understand that the products are going to be coming from overseas and there are things that must be done differently to manage that. Instead of the products just coming from the states, there are more hoops to jump through and she must take those things into consideration when managing a supply chain. This is extremely important and is a concept that she must grasp in able to be successful.

1. I have benefited from globalization in many ways, just like Corrin. The bed I sleep on, the blanket that keeps me warm, the toothpaste I use to brush my teeth, the breakfast I eat, etc. All of these things I use are what get me through everyday life, and that would not be possible without globalization. I believe anyone benefits from globalization from any of the goods they purchase and/or receive. The world is a big place with a lot of diversity and intelligent people, without them we can not make good progress in innovation. 

2. I can't think of anything personally impacting me, but I have had friends who purchase items online for a big discounted price which is great, but they had to wait several weeks for their purchased goods to arrive.

3. It's important for Corrin to understand Globalization because in business the goal is to make profit and to make profit you need people. The more people you have the more potential buyers. With expanding globally to all regions of mass populated areas, you can increase business which equals more profit. Being in business it's important to know all aspects even if you don't think you'll need it. It's better to increase your knowledge of a career so wide spread.
