Terrorism- a nationalist response to the effects of globalization Globalization of economy politics and social issues has made people and groups more insecure and uncertain. One main consecuence of that insecurity is to look for a personal identity and to search for a cultural identity. Globalization is the phenomenon that explains growth to a global or world wide scale(wordnetweb.priceton.edu). Nationalism is the loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially: a sense of national conciousness (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nationalism). 1.
International Relations Mr. Newman 29 August 2012 Economic Hit Men and the World The United States of America tries to influence other nation’s governments in order to support U.S. interests and dream for a “global empire” (Perkins 22). The acronym DIME is often used to represent the instruments of power used in U.S. foreign relations. The first letter stands for diplomacy, which involves treaties and embassy relations. The second denotes information instrument of power that involves things like Radio Free America and journalism. The third letter represents the military action or more often the threat of military power.
Introduction In today’s professional realm, extraordinary leadership is essential due to financial instability, worldwide rivalry, dwindling markets, unemployment, growing skepticism and distrust. So today’s professional leaders need an exceptional approach of leadership that meets all these necessities (Raja, 2012). There are two empirical studies that address the relationship between both a transformational leadership and the follower. The two faces of transformational leadership: Empowerment and dependency, (Kark, Shamir, & Chen, 2003); Impact of transformational leadership on follower development performance: A field experiment (Dvir, Eden, Avolio, , & Shamir, 2002). In order to verify if the results of these studies have intense validity, there has to be an evaluation done on them.
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.

In recent times, there are lots of Diversity management program available where companies could choose from, taking into account the size of the company and it’s employees. Some training programs require a high travelling and participation cost * Calculating ROI in terms of cost benefit analysis Cultural Challenges * Communication barrier-Workplace diversity can negatively impact communication in the company. It can place an obstacle in the way of effective communication, which can cause a decrease in productivity and dampen the cohesiveness among workers. Even though spending time with employees by getting to know them helps reduce and in some instances eradicate communication barriers during a long-term, co-workers orientation periods and an individual´s first impressions can be difficult to control when culture clash.
The classical era of leadership range from 1 A.D. to 1869 and the neoclassical era range from 1870 to 1939 encompassing a substantial portion of the industrial era. During the 1980’s theorists began to recognize the importance of personal and national cultural influence on leadership paradigms. In the global economy of the 21st century, occidental management theories and techniques in some form will be adapted to countries around the world. Current studies of leadership conclude three main parts: Leader effectiveness, Job satisfaction, Personality and Leadership. The word personality comes from the Latin 'persona', meaning 'mask'.
(Meenakshi, 2012). In this essay I am going to explore and analyse personality trait theories, specific key examples and case studies of personality in practice, and the mechanisms of effective leadership; to formulate and finalise how personality traits influence leader emergence and performance. Early leadership theories and philosophies were formed on the basis that outstanding performance leaders differed in important ways from average people due to their unique extraordinary personalities (Humphrey, 2013). This is evident in early research by the historian Thomas Carlyle as he once stated “The history of the world was the biography of great men”, (Judge, 2002). In the ever-changing dynamic business world, Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller, personified the industries they dominated, with Thomas Edison and Alexander Bell embodying the scientific entrepreneurial spirits; and the works of Florence Nightingale revolutionising health care and modern nursing.
VisiDat represent a high emerging international threat, especially if DataClear continue to operate in the U.S. market instead of going global. As Susan Moskowski said: “If they start out as global player, and we stay hunkered down in the U.S., they’ll kill us.” Thus, according to Susan a main reason of going global is directly related to VisiDat and its competition. Moreover, another reason could be that if DataClear want to succeed in the long term and beat the competition it should develop a worldwide strategy and begin to operate in the global market. What is/are the alternative strategy (ies) of going global? A possible alternative strategy of going global is to decide of not going global by concentrating in others potential U.S markets as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and chemicals.

This had logically bad consequences on sales and profit. We propose an introduction of FIAT to understand the historical and economic evolution of the company. Then, it is fundamental to understand the characteristics of the automotive industry that plays a huge role in the world economy. In this section, we will analyze the main actors, the increasingly importance of suppliers in the industry value chain, the great opportunities that stems from emerging countries, the importance of investments in corporate strategies and the environmental commitment. The tools we have used are: the PEST analysis, the Porter’s Five Forces analysis, the FIAT Value Chain and the SWOT analysis.
