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.
Countries with failing economies find it hard to trade or attract investment. IMF loans increase economic stability, helping those countries to participate in global trade. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) regulates the rules of trade between countries. It’s designed to reduce barriers to trade between countries by setting up agreements where tariffs on trade are either reduced or removed. This increases trade between countries which increases interaction and globalisation.

Innovation in the workplace fostered by teamwork and employee involvement in decision-making and reengineering business processes can boost morale and award incentives such as bonus payments. The purpose of organisational development is to enable an organization to better respond and adapt to industry/market changes and technological advances. The absence of both innovation and change in an organisations development can be the difference between being a leader in their field of business, failure to keep up with competitors, create stagnation or cause decline in their existing success.
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. Some such as the EU, go as far as to also have a monetary union in order to eliminate exchange rate problems. Others such as the Arab league take a social approach in order to unite countries for a common cause.
