Trade Most goods we buy have a label on them. This ‘made in’ label tells us where the items have been produced and therefore from where they were imported from. The exchange of goods and services between nations is trade. International trade is based on a country specializing in producing a surplus of gods it can produce most efficiently in order to gain a competitive advantage. Trade allows for: businesses to grow and create more jobs, a wider choice of goods and services often at cheaper prices, economic growth and the strengthening of strategic and political ties between nations.
Explain the term ‘globalisation’ and the role that multinational companies play in the development of globalisation. Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services and has therefore lead to increased trade between countries. This trade encourages countries to work together and removes trade barriers such as quotas and tariffs. This increased openess allows countries to specialise in producing goods which they have a comparitve advantage in (this means they can produce goods at lower unit costs) A multinational Company is a corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home country.
Cross-Cultural Perspectives Mary Wilson ETH/316 March 23, 2015 Instructor Tiffanie Culpepper Introduction Globalization encourages interdependence which permits an economy to prosper by selling it merchandise to an unlimited market in other counties and can operate a business in more than one country. Globalization also benefits the parent company to buy goods and services from other countries that are successful.

International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive. These lower prices may lend to making enough profit to sustain the current workforce.
Lastly, how to reduce the economic gap between coastal regions and inner periphery? In other words, we can learn that this kind of economic of development is not good for China from the texts. In order to know how China’s coastal cities are developing better than inner periphery region, we have to study the open-door policy under Deng’s leadership. “By opening its Pacific Rim to market forces, by exploiting its huge working class, and by encouraging millions of Overseas Chinese…to invest money in their homeland” (Blij 374).

This change brought about more benefit for both regions. It allowed both regions to thrive as it relates to the process of trading, and to help their respective region to advance and gain more resources to aid them in military events as well as their everyday lives.

So, this change really was beneficial (much like it was for the Silk Road in China), not only for the Mediterranean region and West Africa, but also for the region that they were now trading

People affected the diffusion of ideas and goods by making products to make their own life easier. Trade routes were the most important way that these goods were
