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.

International Trade Simulation Darlene Traci Kepner XECO/212 June 17, 2012 Jim Vernon International Trade Simulation I am advising International trade recommendations for the President of Rodamia. 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.

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.

This increases trade between countries which increases interaction and globalisation.
What historic events particularly the economic factors helped or hindered European countries trade with each other and the rest of the world?

Through this essay I will elaborate on the importance of globalization for all peoples. I will first discuss the history of world trade and then elaborate on three factors that illustrate the magnitude of globalization on the United States: economy, technology, and cultural differences.
There are two different perspectives, the Liberal/Neo-Classical perspective and the Structuralist/Dependencia perspective. The Liberal perspective stresses that trade, and integration into the world capitalist economy, serves as a stimulator, or "engine" of growth for developing nations (Packer, 2012; 1). The Liberal perspective encourages developing nations to enter the international market and trade in whatever they have a comparative advantage in, increasing the flow of capital amongst the developing
Case Study 1 Woodychuck Corporation Going Bigger In formulating the business strategies for Woodychuck Corporation, one must consider the laws and political stability of a country. Managers must also be aware of a country’s economic issues such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, and tax policies.
