Reflection Sheet
(1) Globalization is about the interconnectedness of people and business across the World that
eventually leads to global cultural, political and economic integration. It is the ability to move
and communicate easily with others all over the world in order to conduct business
internationally.
(2) Globality is the consciousness of the world as a single place. It sounds more less than the
world globalization. It hides the growing interdependence of the different countries who rely
to others. It is a more useful term for me and I agree with that.
(3)Social media helps build your brand because it enables sharing. You can share, retweet, and
re-pin content here. It is a useful tool for businesses, bringing advantages such as engaging
with your audience and boosting website traffic. However there can also be disadvantages,
including the resources required and negative feedback.

“Defend your point!”
Title of Essay
In today’s world of globalization, where advances in transport and communication have created what many
refer to as a "global village," understanding and appreciating cultural differences in business has become of
vital importance to all organizations.
Companies are increasingly operating cross-border teams, and international trade is vital in today's business
world. Rapid growth of emerging markets in Asia and South America means an increase for many in contact
with business partners in areas that are possibly alien to them. Sensitivity and maintaining a good relationship
is vital when managing a business deal – understanding differences between your own cultural and an
unfamiliar partner’s can make or break a business deal. Understanding and appreciating cultural differences is
not just ensuring you avoid causing offense however. Attitudes towards business, the way they are run and
views on management styles can vary greatly in different cultures. One of the most important was "power
distance", or “the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a
country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.”
Internally, effective communication is key to any organization’s success, and so an appreciation of different
cultures is also of great importance in maintaining a professional and harmonious environment in the
workplace. Organizations in the 21st century are a mix of people from different cultural backgrounds who have
to understand each other, interact on a daily base and often work in more than one country. Above all, it is
important to ensure that the increasing diversity of workplaces and the global nature of modern business is
not seen as a hindrance, and is turned into the positive that it can and should be. Diversity brings a wider
variety of viewpoints and can bring about solutions to problems that may not previously have been seen, as
well as bringing individual talents and experiences to provide an increased adaptability.
