An alternative definition of leadership could be the ability to influence and direct people in order to meet the goals of a group. Corporate Objectives are specific, realistic and measurable goals which an organisation plans to achieve within a given period of time, these will be different for different organisations for example a high street store will aim to increase its market share while a football club will aim to achieve success in the form of winning trophies. Often leaders make a significant difference to a business by adapting to changing conditions in the external environment. This could include making bold decisions such as to invest during a recession when the economy is weak. This was exactly what Richard Branson did when he founded Virgin Group in 1970 and has continued to do when expanding his business empire.

If we want to sell our own products with other countries it is necessary to learn of their cultures, languages, needs and wants to be successful. Another example of the relationships of global and diversity awareness is the changing demographics of the country. As the population grows, more and more work force will be of people of different races and genders. People will have to interact with each other in this kind of situation. I personally see the world being impacted by global and diversity awareness with the recent hate crime and bulling is being addressed more and more every day.
Globalization is an inescapable phenomenon that affects us all on a global scale. Globalization 101 defines the term as a “process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology (Globalization 101).” Another definition provided in Week five video’s lecture is that of Noam Chomsky which states that “globalization in its neutral form is international integration (Chomsky).” In light of this definitions, we are asked this week to decide whether globalization is a deliberate ideological project of economic liberalization spearheaded by the powerful with agency, or simply a natural process that has created its own structure and influence? After reviewing this week’s reading materials, my initial inclination is that globalization is a process, and above all, the result of an evolutionary journey that integrates global pattern, trends, cultural norms that have transpired over time leading to the thriving dominant globalized nexus we now see today. Thus, by positioning globalization in a historical context, it becomes evident that globalization is not a recent trend but is a continuous attempt of integration, facilitated by international trade, the advancement of technology driven by the goal of economic prosperity for everyone. In my opinion, it is this evolutionary journey that precisely and inexorably makes globalization a seemingly natural process.

IMAN 635 Individual Research Paper Nike and International Labor Practices – India and China 10/31/2011 Introduction Globalization, along with its ups and downs of economic opportunity, has aggravated a stern debate over the international labor practices, mostly in developing nations. On one side where foreign companies invest in developing nations, which provides them employment, admission to foreign markets, crucial capital, and up and coming technology, which paves the way for allowing the developing countries to achieve their goal of becoming a first world country (a developed nation). But on the other hand, there has been a fierce debate over the labor practice in developing nations by MNCs (Multi-nation corporations). MNCs are seen as taking advantage of poor wages and fragile social regulations to manufacture low-cost products. Many reports have been published describing the poor work conditions in these MNCs factories in India and China, where the workers are paid hardly any dollars and made work extreme hours, sometimes in risky conditions.
Sports, competition and playing to win are not in themselves immoral. (Doc, 2011). Despite this, the pursuit of victory often creates ethical dilemmas for those who play sports and run sporting organisations. In professional sports, winning is often the sole objective. How far an organisation or an individual is willing to go to achieve this objective is often decided by the ethics of the team or individual in question.
However, determining what constitutes fair and equitable compensation can be a challenging proposition for employers and employees. This analysis will provide a background on employment compensation as well as some personal opinions on how this balance can best be reached. Background In the world of human resources management (HRM) on of the drivers of the last few generations has been globalization.

This has also corresponded with a large push for standardization of different human resource operating procedures that include compensation.
Introduction The economy is ever-changing that traditional companies and markets are hard to survive. Companies are going global and initiating changes in their strategy, culture, structure, and technology. Many companies are expanding their presence into different nations. As different nations have different political, economic, and cultural situations, a company should implement different strategies in order to pursue international competition. To examine how the political risks would impact a company, this paper would discuss Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks”) as an example, as well as the ways that Starbucks can evaluate these risks before entering a new market.
