Discuss the role and impacts of TNCs in the global economy An economy is the activities related to the production of goods and services within a given geographic location and this network can exist on a local or national scale. However through country’s economies interacting during the trading of goods and services, an international and global economy is present. A transnational corporation (TNC) is a company that operates and has the power to coordinate and control economic operations in more than one country. They are often found to have their headquarters in their country of origin, most commonly the UK, USA, Germany and Japan, and their manufacturing, research and development plants situated in other parts of the world, such as India and China. For example GlaxoSmithKline, which was founded in 2000, with its headquarters in Brentford in the UK and other sites located in Shanghai and Quebec.
John Hobson, an English economist, saw imperialism as inevitable, for powers of production outpace consumption resulting in more profit for the mother country (doc 2). The United States was involved in imperialism due to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823, which made the western hemisphere an American protectorate and their victory in the Spanish-American War making them a Pacific power. Both Europe and America believed imperialism could bring them economic power and capacity. Imperialism was not strictly confined to economics; it also included the political aims of unique states. John Hobson deemed demand for foreign markets for manufacturers and investments was responsible for the adoption of Imperialism as a political policy (doc 2).
Imperialism is the domination by one country of the political, economic, or cultural life of another country or region. The new imperialism began in the late nineteenth and twentieth century. The political causes are the European needed bases for trade and navy ships and the spirit of nationalism. Some social causes were the theory of Social Darwinism, wish to share western civilization, and wish to spread Christianity. Lastly, the economic causes which was the need of new markets in which to sell their manufactured goods, Europeans needed raw materials to keep their factories busy, and place to infest profits.

The advantages of international trade and investments imports will create a wider variety of products which will give them a choice in price and quality. Domestic producers can expand and sell their products to other countries creating jobs, capital, and new investments, increasing the economy.

To what extent is globalisation a cultural process? (30 marks) Cultural process can be defined as when ethnic and cultural traditions are conveyed spanning generations and changed by the impacts continuing to effect each. Globalisation occurs when the process in which businesses and other organisations begin to operate on an international scale and therefore expand as a whole. Through today’s society, it can be recognised and shown that the more economically developed countries are helping the lesser developed countries to grow by themselves through the use of technology and helping make their economy be successful and grow. The Western way of today’s society is becoming more and more normal as well as a functional way of living in the growing NIC and LEDC countries.
as not only a source of raw materials and slaves, but a market for manufactured goods. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth century the Industrial nations were exporting not only goods but capital in the form of machinery, technology, investment and loans. This Capitalist Imperialism differs from the earlier forms in the way it systematically accumulates capital through the organised exploitation of labour and the penetration of overseas markets. John A. Hobson has given a thesis as to the reasons why this has occurred, I will use this essay to explain the theory in detail by analyzing its three aspects. Then I will use the second part of the essay to examine the weaknesses and strengths to his theory.
Governments may choose to increase minimum wage on an arbitrary basis, making it difficult for companies to hire individuals at a consistent market rate. Government price controls distort the economic theory of supply and demand. Supply and demand is a significant underlying feature of free-market economies. This theory allows individuals and businesses to make decisions based on self-interest. Businesses often pay individuals a wage based on current market standards.

It is marked by the increase in the interchange of capital and products, view and ideas, people and other cultural aspects. While globalization is largely viewed with respect to world economies, its impact on business is immense. Proponents of globalization argue on the opportunities that are created by globalization as well as the market efficiency that result. On the other hand, globalization opponents argue on the negative effects that it has on small companies especially in less developed countries (Westerfield & Abbink, 2004, p. 180). Globalization can be found to have several positive and negative impacts on
