In its preliminary state it provides a key basis for the identification, evaluation and selection of business opportunities and therefore, a set of options for the direction of a business.” Riordan presently uses a research and development strategy; however, with some fine-tuning, the organization could discover trends beyond its current domestic and China focus by expanding into other international areas. By expanding its horizons, Riordan may discover other needs the organization is not meeting or ways for improving existing products.

Globalisation is fuelled by different companies, people and countries integrating their economies, their trade and to some extent their people and societies. Global social and economic groupings have been created between countries to help enable globalisation and ease the movement of capital between various countries. Each grouping has its own specific aims, but generally they hope to remove trade barriers, so that countries can buy and sell products from other countries more easily.

It is necessary to go outside the commonsensical box of accepted socially engineered thinking to reconstruct an ideology that reflects a well-cultured thinking process. Throughout the remainder of this essay, I will demonstrate how the inherent restlessness of a liberal society led into the age of development, wealth, and inequality by articulating the ideas displayed within Why Globalization works by, Martin Wolf. Furthermore, I will use Philip McMichael’s work titled, Development and Social Change to critically analyze the processes described by Wolf. To begin, wolfs analysis begins with the necessary ingredients to first establish markets within a society. He claims the advent of markets is due to the rational decisions made by the individual; in particular the merchant and the consumer.
Although it wasn’t coined the American dream just yet, the dream itself is much older than the US, we can date it back to the 1600s, (PBS) when people began to have all sorts of aspirations for what was a new and unexplored continent to European immigrants. These dreams included, owning land, being debt free---theoretically at least, which would increase one's happiness. These dreams are as alive now as they were back then, however, the American dream is in critical condition and is quickly slipping away from us. Is it reversible? The more statistics are provided about the condition of our economy and the social pressures, the more that becomes apparent.
