6. WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?
• The trend toward countries joining together
economically,
• Education
• Society
• Politics and
• Viewing themselves not only through their
national identity but also as part of the
world as a whole.
10. It has benefited women and
children’s rights.
• EXAMPLE:
• Uganda has the world's
youngest population, according
to a 2008 World Bank report.
• It also has the highest youth
(ages 15-24)
• unemployment rate: 83 percent.
• Uganda Rural Development
Programme / World Bank
15. IMPORTANCE
AND
NEED
• Global Marketing / Advertising
• Outsourcing

18. PROS
• Pros Of Globalization
• With globalization, there is a global market for companies to
trade their products & a wider range of options for people,
to choose from among the products of different nations.
• Developing countries benefit a lot from globalization, as
there is a sound flow of money and thus, a decrease in the
currency difference.
• To meet the increasing demands that follow globalization,
there is an increase in the production sector. This gives
loads of options to the manufacturers as well.
• Competition keeps prices relatively low, and as a result,
inflation is less likely to occur.
19. ……CONTD
• The focus is diverted and segregated among all the
nations. No country remains the single power head;
instead there are compartmentalized power sectors. The
decisions at higher levels are meant for the people at
large.
• Communication among the countries is on the rise, which
allows for better understanding and broader vision.
• As communication increases amongst two countries, there
is interchange of cultures as well. We get to know more
about the other's cultural preferences.
• As we feed to each other's financial needs, the ecological
imbalance is also met . Governments of countries show
concern about each other.
20. CONS
• Globalization is causing Europeans to lose their jobs as
work is being outsourced to the Asian countries. The
cost of labor in the Asian countries is low as compared to
other countries.
• The high rate of profit for the companies, in Asia, has
resulted in a pressure on the employed Europeans, who
are always under the threat of the business being
outsourced.
• Companies are opening their counterparts in other
countries. This results in transferring the quality of their
product to other countries, thereby increasing the
chances of depreciation in terms of quality.
21. ……CONTD
• There are experts who believe that globalization is
the cause for the invasion of communicable
diseases and social degeneration in countries.
• The threat that the corporate would rule the world is
on high, as there is a lot of money invested by them.
• It is often argued that poor countries are exploited
by the richer countries where the work force is taken
advantage of and low wages are implemented.
23. Advantages Disadvantages
Increased free trade between nations Increased flow of skilled and non-skilled
jobs from developed to developing
nations as corporations seek out the
cheapest labor
Increased liquidity of capital allowing Increased likelihood of economic
investors in developed nations to invest disruptions in one nation effecting all
in developing nations nations
Corporations have greater flexibility to Corporate influence of nation-states far
operate across borders exceeds that of civil society organizations
and average individuals
Global mass media ties the world Threat that control of world media by a
together handful of corporations will limit cultural
expression
Increased flow of communications allows Greater chance of reactions for
vital information to be shared between globalization being violent in an attempt
individuals and corporations around the to preserve cultural heritage
world
24. Advantages Disadvantages
Greater ease and speed of Greater risk of diseases being
transportation for goods and people transported unintentionally between
nations
Reduction of cultural barriers increases Spread of a materialistic lifestyle and
the global village effect attitude that sees consumption as the
path to prosperity
Spread of democratic ideals to International bodies like the World Trade
developed nations Organization infringe on national and
individual sovereignty
Reduction of likelihood of war between Increase in the chances of civil war
developed nations within developing countries and open
war between developing countries as
they vie for resources
Increases in environmental protection in Decreases in environmental integrity as
developed nations polluting corporations take advantage of
weak regulatory rules in developing
countries
25. CHALLENGES
• Productivity: Productivity is improved by producing in countries
where production is most efficient. However, this often means
workers in one country lose jobs as their work moves to more
efficient locations.
• Consumers: Consumers benefit from a wider array of
competitively priced goods. However, they have less control over
supplies coming from abroad than over goods produced
domestically.
• Employment: Employment may increase as economic growth and
specialization take hold. However, domestic employment
fluctuates according to foreign conditions (such as economic
crises elsewhere that reduce demand for employment
domestically).
• The Environment: As global consumption increases due to
globalization, more natural resources deplete. Differing
environmental standards across countries create opportunities
for businesses to exploit resources in countries with the least
amount of environmental protection regulation.
26. • Monetary and Fiscal Conditions: As money moves more freely,
it is better able to seek out the best investment opportunities
on a global scale. However, governments have less control
over the inflow and outflow of funds. Furthermore, capital
seems to be flowing more freely to countries with lower tax
rates and less regulatory restrictions, putting additional
pressures on national fiscal and monetary policies.
• Sovereignty: Globalization may undermine national sovereignty
in two ways: First, contact with other countries creates more
cultural borrowing and may dilute a country's cultural
uniqueness. Second, countries are concerned that important
decisions may be made abroad by foreign owners of
domestically located firms.
27. IMPACT
• India‟s growth rate in the 1970‟s was very low at 3% and GDP
growth in countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Korea, and Mexico
was more than twice that of India.
• Though India‟s average annual growth rate almost doubled in
the eighties to 5.9%, it was still lower than the growth rate in
China, Korea and Indonesia. The pick up in GDP growth has
helped improve India‟s global position.

8th position in 1991 to 4th place in 2001; when GDP is calculated
on a purchasing power parity basis.
