The contemporary era of globalization demonstrates that the local
and global aspects of business and government are increasingly
intertwined. Over the past fifty years, international business has
evolved from the realm of the largest multinational corporations to
the base scenario; every business and every citizen who
participates in economic activity--by creating, buying, and selling
products and services--is now a member of the global economy. But
moving our thinking and actions beyond the local sphere is both
challenging and problematic; the international domain is more
complex, and introduces a new dimension of risks and uncertainties.
Yet it it also ripe for business opportunity and wealth creation
for those who learn how to navigate in it. Globalization defines
and makes sense of the workings of the global economy--and how it
influences businesses and individuals on a local scale. Each
chapter identifies common questions and issues that have gained
exposure in the popular media--such as outsourcing, the high cost
of international travel, and the impact of a fast-growing China--to
illustrate underlying drivers and mechanisms at work. Covering
international trade, national wealth disparities (the haves vs. the
have-nots), foreign investment, and geographical and cultural
issues, and supported with illustrations, maps, charts, a glossary
and timeline of key events, this volume illuminates the dynamics of
the global economy and informs readers of its profound impact on
our daily lives.
