The Effects of Globalization in Small Businesses in
Selected Entreprenuer in Barangay Odiong, Roxas,
Oriental Mindoro

CHAPTER 1

Background of the Study


The global changes in the world, changes in political, economic and
business activities as well as the development of technology, transport
and communications, impose the need for enterprises in its struggle for
survival, to change their strategies and go out from the borders of
their own country. Limited market, competitive pressure, demand for
cheaper resources and the dynamics of the postmodern era, forcing
business leaders to change their focus from traditional targets to
alternative measures for successful business and the entrance on global
markets, with the purpose of making competitive advantage.

Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have


made the world into a more connected and interdependent place.
Globalization also captures in its scope the economic and social changes
that have come about as a result. The speedup of movements and exchanges
(of human beings, goods, and services, capital, technologies or cultural
practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is
that it promotes and increases interactions between different regions
and populations around the globe. (Wikipedia)

Small business is defined as a privately owned corporation, partnership,


or sole proprietorship that has fewer employees and less annual revenue
than a corporation or regular-sized business. The definition of "small"—
in terms of being able to apply for government support and qualify for
preferential tax policy—varies by country and industry. (Wikipedia)

The U.S. Small Business Administration defines a small business


according to a set of standards based on specific industries. Small
businesses range from fifteen employees under the Australian Fair Work
Act 2009, fifty employees according to the definition used by
the European Union, and fewer than five hundred employees to qualify for
many U.S. Small Business Administration programs. While small businesses
can also be classified according to other methods, such as annual
revenues, shipments, sales, assets, annual gross, net revenue, net
profits, the number of employees is one of the most widely used
measures.

Small businesses in many countries include service or retail operations


such as convenience stores, small grocery
stores, bakeries or delicatessens, hairdressers or tradespeople (e.g., c
arpenters, electricians), restaurants, motels, photographers, very
3|Page
small-scale manufacturing, and Internet-related businesses such as web
design and computer programming. Some professionals operate as small
businesses, such as lawyers, accountants, dentists, medical
doctors and developers (although these professionals can also work for
large organizations or companies). Small businesses vary a great deal in
terms of size, revenues, and regulatory authorization, both within a
country and from country to country. Some small businesses, such as a
home accounting business, may only require a business license. On the
other hand, other small businesses, such as day cares, retirement homes,
and restaurants serving liquor are more heavily regulated and may
require inspection and certification from various government
authorities.

Additionally, globalization has made it easier for companies to access


resources, such as raw materials, production facilities, and talent,
from all over the world. This can help companies reduce costs and
increase efficiency, making it easier for them to succeed in the global
marketplace. Furthermore, globalization has also created new
opportunities for companies to collaborate and form partnerships with
companies from other countries, providing access to new resources and
expertise. In short, globalization has transformed the business
landscape, offering entrepreneurs access to a wealth of funding and
resources that were previously unavailable. By taking advantage of these
opportunities, entrepreneurs can achieve new levels of success and
impact in today's fast-paced, ever-changing business world.

CHAPTER 2

Literature Review

Related literature

Globalization has drastically altered the business landscape, breaking


down geographical boundaries and opening up new opportunities for
entrepreneurs. With access to a wider pool of resources and customers,
entrepreneurship has become more accessible than ever before. But with
this newfound accessibility, also comes new challenges and obstacles. In
this article, we'll delve into the complex relationship between
globalization and entrepreneurship, exploring both the positive and
negative impacts that have emerged in this rapidly evolving world. From
exploring the role of technology and innovation to the effects of
cultural differences and economic instability, we'll take a
comprehensive look at how globalization has shaped the entrepreneurial
landscape and what it means for future business ventures. So, buckle up
and get ready for a thought-provoking journey into the world of
entrepreneurship and globalization.

Access to New Markets and Customers

One of the most significant impacts of globalization on entrepreneurship


is the access to new markets and customers. With the advancement of
technology and transportation, companies can now reach customers beyond
their local borders and tap into previously untapped markets. This has
opened up a world of possibilities for entrepreneurs, providing new
opportunities to grow their companies and reach a larger customer base.
Whether you're an online retailer looking to expand into international
markets or a local bakery wanting to sell your products overseas,
globalization has made it easier than ever before to connect with
customers from all over the world.

However, it's important to keep in mind that entering new markets also
comes with its own set of challenges, such as navigating cultural
differences, overcoming language barriers, and dealing with various
regulations and laws. Nevertheless, for entrepreneurs who are up for the
challenge, the benefits of accessing new markets and customers are well
worth the effort.

Increased Competition and Market Saturation

Another impact of globalization on entrepreneurship is the increase in


competition and market saturation. With more companies and entrepreneurs
entering the market, there's often a greater demand for products and
services, which can result in increased competition. This can make it
more challenging for companies to stand out and establish themselves in
their respective industries. On the one hand, increased competition can
drive companies to innovate and improve the quality of their offerings,

9|Page
but on the other hand, it can also lead to market saturation, making it
harder for companies to find customers and turn a profit.

This can be especially difficult for small companies and startups, which
may struggle to compete with larger, established companies that have
more resources and a larger customer base. In short, while access to
new markets and customers is one of the positive impacts of
globalization on entrepreneurship, it also brings with it the challenge
of increased competition and market saturation, which can make it
difficult for companies to succeed.

The Role of Technology and Innovation

Technology and innovation play a critical role in the impact of


globalization on entrepreneurship. With the rapid pace of technological
advancement, entrepreneurs have access to tools and resources that were
previously unavailable. This has made it easier for companies to reach
customers, streamline operations, and stay ahead of the competition.

For example, the widespread adoption of the internet and e-commerce has
revolutionized the way companies reach customers, providing new avenues
for growth and expansion.

Additionally, innovations in areas such as AI, machine learning,


and robotics have enabled companies to automate many tasks, freeing up
time and resources for other important aspects of running a business.
However, it's important to keep in mind that technology can also have
negative impacts, such as increased cybercrime and the displacement of
workers in certain industries. Nevertheless, the role of technology and
innovation in shaping the impact of globalization on entrepreneurship
cannot be overstated. By leveraging these tools and resources,
entrepreneurs are able to achieve new levels of success and impact in
today's fast-paced, ever-changing business world.

Cultural Differences and the Challenges of Global Expansion

Cultural differences play a significant role in the impact of


globalization on entrepreneurship, especially when it comes to global
expansion. Doing business in different countries can be challenging, as
cultural norms, values, and beliefs can vary greatly from one place to
another.

For example, business practices that are considered acceptable in one


country may be viewed as inappropriate in another. This can create
difficulties for entrepreneurs looking to expand their companies
globally, as they must navigate these cultural differences and adapt
their strategies to be successful in new markets.

Additionally, cultural differences can impact the way a business is


perceived by customers and partners, and can also affect employee morale
and motivation. Entrepreneurs must be aware of these challenges and be
willing to adapt their practices to succeed in a global marketplace.
Whether it's conducting business with respect and sensitivity, or making
cultural modifications to products and services, overcoming cultural
differences is key to success in global expansion. Ultimately,
10 | P a g e
entrepreneurs must be flexible and open-minded to succeed in a
culturally diverse business world.

The Impact of Economic Instability and Globalization on Small Companies

Economic instability and globalization can have a profound impact on


small companies, both positively and negatively. On one hand, small
companies can benefit from increased access to new markets and
customers, as well as greater opportunities for growth and expansion.
However, on the other hand, they can also be negatively affected by
economic instability and fluctuations in the global marketplace.

For example, changes in currency exchange rates or trade policies can


disrupt small companies' access to raw materials or customers, making it
difficult to stay afloat.

Additionally, small companies may struggle to compete with larger,


multinational companies that have more resources and can weather
economic instability better. This can put small companies at a
disadvantage, making it difficult for them to succeed in a global
marketplace. Furthermore, small companies may also face challenges in
navigating the complexities of the global marketplace, such as
navigating regulations and taxes in different countries. In conclusion,
while globalization offers opportunities for small companies, it also
brings with it economic instability and challenges that must be
addressed in order for small companies to succeed.

The Benefits of Globalization for Entrepreneurship

Globalization offers a number of benefits for entrepreneurship,


including access to funding and resources. With the improving
interconnectedness of the global marketplace, entrepreneurs have access
to a wider pool of investors, customers, and resources, providing new
opportunities for growth and expansion.

For example, entrepreneurs can seek funding from venture capitalists or


angel investors from all over the world, improving their chances of
securing the capital they need to start or grow their companies.

Additionally, globalization has made it easier for companies to access


resources, such as raw materials, production facilities, and talent,
from all over the world. This can help companies reduce costs and
increase efficiency, making it easier for them to succeed in the global
marketplace. Furthermore, globalization has also created new
opportunities for companies to collaborate and form partnerships with
companies from other countries, providing access to new resources and
expertise. In short, globalization has transformed the business
landscape, offering entrepreneurs access to a wealth of funding and
resources that were previously unavailable. By taking advantage of these
opportunities, entrepreneurs can achieve new levels of success and
impact in today's fast-paced, ever-changing business world.

11 | P a g e
The Effects of Globalization on Local Economies and Job Markets

The effects of globalization on local economies and job markets can be


both positive and negative. On one hand, globalization has created new
opportunities for growth and development, as companies are able to
access new markets and customers from all over the world. This can lead
to increased investment, job creation, and economic growth in local
communities. Additionally, globalization has made it easier for
companies to access resources, such as raw materials, production
facilities, and talent, from all over the world. This can help companies
reduce costs and increase efficiency, making it easier for them to
succeed in the global marketplace.

However, globalization can also have negative effects on local economies


and job markets. For example, the increased competition from foreign
companies can put pressure on local companies, making it difficult for
them to succeed. Additionally, globalization can lead to the outsourcing
of jobs to countries with lower labor costs, resulting in job losses and
wage stagnation in local communities. Furthermore, globalization can
result in the concentration of wealth and resources in certain
locations, leaving other areas behind and exacerbating economic
inequality.

In conclusion, the effects of globalization on local economies and job


markets are complex and multifaceted. While globalization offers
opportunities for growth and development, it also brings with it
challenges that must be addressed in order for local communities and
workers to benefit from the opportunities it presents.

The Challenges of Navigating Regulations and Legal Barriers in a Global


Market

Navigating regulations and legal barriers in a global market can be a


major challenge for entrepreneurs looking to expand their companies
internationally. Different countries have different laws, regulations,
and compliance requirements, making it difficult for companies to know
what is required of them in each market. For example, some countries
have strict labor laws, while others have more relaxed regulations.
Similarly, tax laws and trade agreements can vary greatly from one
country to another, making it difficult for companies to understand what
they need to do to comply with the law.

Furthermore, legal barriers can also make it difficult for companies to


protect their intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and
copyrights. Different countries have different laws and regulations
surrounding intellectual property, and navigating these laws can be a
complex and time-consuming process. This can make it difficult for
companies to protect their innovations and creations, and can also put
their investments at risk.

In conclusion, navigating regulations and legal barriers in a global


market requires a deep understanding of the laws and regulations in each
country where a business operates. Entrepreneurs must be proactive and
stay informed about changes in the law, and must work with local lawyers
and experts to ensure that they are compliant with all regulations. By
12 | P a g e
doing so, companies can reduce the risk of legal disputes and other
complications, and can focus on growing and expanding their operations
in the global marketplace.

The Impact of Globalization on Product and Service Quality

Globalization has had a significant impact on product and service


quality. On one hand, globalization has created new opportunities for
companies to access the best resources, materials, and technology from
all over the world. This can lead to the creation of high-quality
products and services that are well-suited to the needs of global
consumers. Furthermore, globalization has increased competition in the
marketplace, forcing companies to continually improve the quality of
their products and services in order to stay ahead of the competition.

However, globalization has also led to some challenges for companies in


terms of product and service quality. For example, some companies may
seek to cut costs by outsourcing production to countries with lower
labor costs, which can result in lower-quality products and services.
Additionally, the challenges of navigating regulations and legal
barriers in a global market can make it difficult for companies to
ensure that their products and services are of high quality and comply
with local laws and standards.

In conclusion, globalization has had a profound impact on product and


service quality, offering new opportunities for companies to create
high-quality products and services while also presenting new challenges.
To succeed in the global marketplace, companies must be diligent in
their efforts to ensure that their products and services are of the
highest quality, and must stay informed about changes in the law and
regulations affecting their operations. By doing so, companies can build
a reputation for quality, attract customers from all over the world, and
achieve new levels of success and impact in the global marketplace.

Wrapping Up

Globalization has had a profound impact on entrepreneurship, creating


new opportunities and challenges for companies around the world. On one
hand, globalization has made it easier for entrepreneurs to access new
markets and customers, increased competition, and has played a key role
in driving technological innovation and progress. It has also made it
possible for companies to access funding and resources from all over the
world, helping them to grow and achieve new levels of success.

However, globalization has also created new challenges for


entrepreneurship, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
For example, increased competition can make it difficult for companies
to stand out in a crowded marketplace, while navigating regulations and
legal barriers in a global market can be challenging and time-consuming.
Additionally, globalization can have negative impacts on local economies
and job markets, and can lead to lower quality products and services.

In conclusion, the impact of globalization on entrepreneurship is


complex and far-reaching. To succeed in this environment, entrepreneurs
must stay informed about the opportunities and challenges presented by
13 | P a g e
globalization, and must be proactive in taking advantage of new
opportunities and overcoming new challenges. Whether you are a small
business owner looking to expand into new markets or a multinational
corporation seeking to stay ahead of the competition, it is clear that
globalization will continue to play a critical role in shaping the
future of entrepreneurship for many years to come.

Related Studies

The present study aims to advance our understanding of the association


between Globalization and Small Businesses in Selected Store Owner in
Barangay, Odiong, Roxas, Oriental Mindoro.

The development of international business activities coincided with


widespread phenomenon of globalization of markets (Cavusgil, Knight, &
Riesenberger, 2008). The globalization of markets refers to the growing
economic integration and the growing interdependence of countries
worldwide. Internationalization of the companies refers to the tendesncy
of the companies to systematically increase the international scope of
their business activities, while globalization refers to a makrotrend
intensive economic relations between the countries in the world.
Globalization encourages companies to internationalize and to
substantially increase the volume and types of cross-border transactions
in goods, services and capital. Also, the globalization leads to rapid
dissemination and diffusion of products, technology and knowledge in the
world, regardless of the origin. The process of globalization is a
natural process that is a result of the growing and accelerated process
of generalizing of the character and process of production. The
development of science, engineering and technology and the expansion of
markets for goods, worldwide, lead to internationalization of economic
and financial developments and their global deployment. If globalization
is understood as a process that leads to greater economic integration of
national economies, as a process of fragmentation of the world economy
and the international economy, than the globalization is a process of
opening of national economies through the removal of economic and
financial boundaries of national economies and thus their transformation
into an international economic and financial market (Jovanovski, 2007).
Globalization is a worldwide trend, through which economies in the world
lose their borders and connect to each other. The companies are no
longer imprisoned in their borders and can implement a wide range of
business activities around the world. Many companies are present in
markets around the world, procured their raw produce or conduct research
and development worldwide. Trade barriers fall and global trade between
countries in goods and services is growing faster than domestic
production. As a result of this, companies can not afford the luxury to
assume that the success of the domestic market will lead to longterm
profitability (Cullen & Parboteeah, 2010). The flow of money across
national borders is freer, and companies seek better financing rates in
the world and investors everywhere are looking for a more favorable
return on investment. Globalization, developed from economic aspect, has
14 | P a g e
two main components: the globalization of markets and globalization of
production. The globalization of markets refers to the merging of
historically different and separate national markets into one big global
market. In recent years, constantly is discussed that the tastes and
preferences of consumers in different countries and nations begin to
resemble on a global level and the way that they help in the creating of
a global market. The companies that offer standardized products
worldwide, help in the creation of a global market. The most common
global markets are not the markets for mass consumer products, because
there are still differences between countries in terms of tastes and
preferences, which still have great meaning and a sort of brake on
globalization, but these are the markets for industrial goods and
materials that have universal need the world. The globalization of
production refers to the tendency of the companies to find suppliers of
goods and services from locations around the world, in order to realize
the advantage of national differences in price and quality of the
factors of production. Companies do this in order to reduce overall
costs and thereby to improve the quality or to improve the functionality
of their product offering to compete more effectively(Hill, 2008). In
economics, internationalization is seen as a process of increased
involvement of enterprises in international markets (Susman, 2007). The
process of globalization, the fight for survival, constant pressure and
the need to preserve and strengthen the market position, force the
companies to be willing to constantly innovate and explore opportunities
for achieving competitive advantage and expanding business activities
outside the domestic market. Entrance of the companies in the global
market becomes inevitable not only because of limitation of the domestic
market but also because of the globalization; the domestic market share
is under threat from foreign competition (Bartels, Buckley, & Mariano,
2009). There are several specific factors that promote globalization and
guide enterprises to strive for business development and growth through
the international and global operations and include: political changes,
development of technology, international business climate, market
development, expenses and competition (Ball, McCulloch, Geringer, Minor,
& McNett, 2001).

As the globalization increases the speed and prevalence, and for the
companies more opportunities are opening easily, to perform on the
international markets. The managers develop and adapt strategies for
internationalization in order to transform their organizations into
globally competitive enterprises. Managers seek to coordinate the
supply, production, marketing and other activities based on
international activities. The organization of the company globally is a
challenge and requires strategic positioning, organizational skills, a
high degree of coordination and integration, attention to the needs of
individual markets and the implementation of common processes. The
strategy, in an international context, is an organization plan for
positive positioning, compared to the competitors. This plan lead the
company to selected customers, markets, products and services in global
markets, not just a particular international market. The strategy in an
international context should help managers to formulate a strong

15 | P a g e
international vision, allocation of scarce resources on the World, the
participation of the major markets, implementation of global
partnerships, and involvement in competitive activities in response to
global rivals and establish activities that add additional value on a
global level (Cavusgil, Yeniyurt, & Townsend, 2004). When the companies
compete outside of their country, they face a number of challenges and
pressures. These pressures and challenges to maintain competitiveness,
require from the companies cut costs, in order the consumers do not
evaluate their products or services as too expensive. This leads to the
need to locate production facilities in places where production costs
are lower, and the development of high standardized products in most
countries. In the context of the pressure to reduce costs, managers must
strive to be ready to respond to local pressures to adapt products to
local market requirements, where the company is active. This requires
differentiation of their offer and strategies in different countries, in
order to preserve the tastes and preferences of consumers, but also the
differentiation of distribution channels, management of human resources,
and government regulations. Because the strategies and tactics for
differentiation of products and services in local markets create
additional costs, they can also lead to increased costs for the company.
These two pressures that enterprises face, resulting in four basic
strategies that the companies use to compete in the global market. These
strategies are: international, global, multi-domestic and transnational
strategy (Dess, Lumpkin, & Taylor, 2004). The strategy that will be
chosen by the company depends on the pressure faced by cost-cutting and
the importance of adapting to local markets.

As seen in the data in Table 1, in terms of Types of Business,


Convinient Stores and Restaurants got 3 each out of 15 respondents,
Computer Shops, Bakeries and Meat and Vegetable got 2 each out of 15
17 | P a g e
respondents, and lastly, Sari- sari Store, Tailor and Ukay- ukay got 1
each out of 15 respondents, so it means that there are more numbers of
entreprenuer in Convinient Store and Restaurants than other types of
business. In terms of age, there are all different in the number of age
that be seen above. In terms of gender, 4 out of 15 respondents are Male
and 11 out of 15 respondents are Female, so it means that almost Female
are owned and manage business than Male.

Data Collection Tools

Five-question semi-structured interview form was used as the data


collection instrument. The opinions of four experts were obtained about
the drafted form by reviewing the relevant literature, and a pilot
implementation was made with two participants who had the
characteristics of the study group. Since there was face-to-face
meeting during the form-filling process, participants were interviewed
individually. The purpose of the research and their expectations were
explained in detail, and data was collected. Detailed explanations and
examples were requested where necessary.

Data Analysis

The thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data obtained
through the semi-structured interview form. Thematic analysis is a
method that includes the stages of defining, analyzing, and presenting
themes based on qualitative data (Braun and Clarke, 2006). During the
thematic analysis process, the data was coded by researchers who is an
expert in qualitative research methods. For the reliability of the
analysis of the interview data, we conduct an interview to the
respondents. We prepared five questions to make them easy to answer
those five questions. And we didn’t push them to answer very well just
their personal experience and their own opinion only. By using the
reliability formula, we say that this study was true and correct.

Participant opinions on the effects of student absenteeism and current


policies are presented based on themes and categories in accordance with
the data collection tool.

Data Gathering Procedure

We interviewed 15 Selected Entreprenuers and here are their opinion and


response to our given questions regarding on the effects of
Globalization were investigated like what the factors are affecting
globalization.

CHAPTER 4

Summary of Findings

Using a unique administrative longitudinal dataset on entreprenuers,


this article investigates whether the association between globalization
and small bususinesses varies according to the factors affecting
globalization to them as entreprenuer.

Understanding Globalization

Corporations gain a competitive advantage on multiple fronts through


globalization. They can reduce operating costs by manufacturing abroad,
buy raw materials more cheaply because of the reduction or removal
of tariffs, and most of all, they gain access to millions of new
consumers.

Globalization is a social, cultural, political, and legal phenomenon.

 Socially, it leads to greater interaction among various


populations.
 Culturally, globalization represents the exchange of ideas, values,
and artistic expression among cultures.
 Globalization also represents a trend toward the development of a
single world culture.
25 | P a g e
 Politically, globalization has shifted attention to
intergovernmental organizations like the United Nations (UN) and
the World Trade Organization (WTO).
 Legally, globalization has altered how international law is created
and enforced.

On one hand, globalization has created new jobs and economic growth
through the cross-border flow of goods, capital, and labor. On the other
hand, this growth and job creation are not distributed evenly across
industries or countries.

Specific industries in certain countries, such as textile manufacturing


in the U.S. or corn farming in Mexico, have suffered severe disruption
or outright collapse as a result of increased international competition.

Globalization's motives are idealistic, as well as opportunistic, but


the development of a global free market has benefited large corporations
based in the Western world. Its impact remains mixed for workers,
cultures, and small businesses around the globe, in both developed
and emerging nations.

The History of Globalization

Globalization is not a new concept. Traders traveled vast distances in


ancient times to buy commodities that were rare and expensive for sale
in their homelands. The Industrial Revolution brought advances in
transportation and communication in the 19th century that eased trade
across borders.

The think tank, Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE),


states globalization stalled after World War I, and nations' moved
toward protectionism as they launched import taxes to more closely guard
their industries in the aftermath of the conflict. This trend continued
through the Great Depression and World War II until the U.S. took on an
instrumental role in reviving international trade.

Pros and Cons of Globalization

Pros

- A larger market for goods and services

- Cheaper consumer prices

- Outsourcing can benefit both domestic firms and foreign labor

- Increased standard of living

26 | P a g e
Cons

- Concentrates wealth in richer countries

- Some poorer countries can be left behind

- Poorer countries can be exploited of their labor and physical &


intellectual resources

- Cultures and the products consumed around the world can become
homogenized

Pros

Proponents of globalization believe it allows developing countries to


catch up to industrialized nations through increased manufacturing,
diversification, economic expansion, and improvements in standards of
living.

Outsourcing by companies brings jobs and technology to developing


countries, which helps them to grow their economies. Trade initiatives
increase cross-border trading by removing supply-side and trade-related
constraints.

Globalization has advanced social justice on an international scale as


well, and advocates report that it has focused attention on human rights
worldwide that might have otherwise been ignored on a large scale.

Cons

One clear result of globalization is that an economic downturn in one


country can create a domino effect through its trade partners. For
example, the 2008 financial crisis had a severe impact on Portugal,
Ireland, Greece, and Spain. All these countries were members of
the European Union, which had to step in to bail out debt-laden nations,
which were thereafter known by the acronym PIIGS.

Globalization detractors argue that it has created a concentration of


wealth and power in the hands of a small corporate elite that can gobble
up smaller competitors around the globe.

Globalization has become a polarizing issue in the U.S. with the


disappearance of entire industries to new locations abroad. It's seen as
a major factor in the economic squeeze on the middle class.

For better and worse, globalization has also increased homogenization.


Starbucks, Nike, and Gap dominate commercial space in many nations. The
sheer size and reach of the U.S. have made the cultural exchange among
nations largely a one-sided affair.

Is Globalization Good or Bad?

27 | P a g e
It depends. Proponents of globalization will point to the dramatic
decline in poverty that has taken place throughout the world over the
past several decades, which many economists attribute in part to
increased trade and investment between nations. Similarly, they will
argue that globalization has allowed products and services such as
cellphones, airplanes, and information technology to be spread far more
widely throughout the world. On the other hand, critics of globalization
will point to the negative impact it has had on specific nations’
industries, which might face increased competition from international
firms. Globalization can also have negative environmental impacts due to
economic development, industrialization, and international travel.

How Does Globalization Impact Society?

Globalization has had a large impact on societies around the world,


leading to massive migrations from rural to industrial or urban areas,
leading to the rapid growth of cities and trade hubs. While this has led
to an overall increase in incomes and a higher standard of living in
general, it has also led to problems of urbanization including crime,
domestic violence, homelessness, and poverty. Concepts of national
identity, culture, and consumption patterns also change as goods from
around the world become increasingly available and at low prices. The
competitiveness of global capitalism may also lead to more
individualistic ideals that contradict the cultural orientations of
certain, more collectivist societies.

Chapter 5
Conclusion

In conclusion, the current study provides further evidence that more


detailed attendance awareness is needed. Today, the word international
company is quite a common phenomenon, which reflects actual business
transactions and large expanses between a number of people from
different cultures and with different approaches. What unites them in
the complex network of relationships is the need of development, rapid
exchange of resources and tools and integrated cooperation, which should
contribute to ensuring cooperation and ensure the transfer of capital.
Can be concluded that today's decisions for crossing domestic borders
and internationalize the business is a prerequisite for serious growth
and development of a business entity. As such, he is always searching
and analysis of potential areas where the company from small or medium
business entity would become a corporate organization striving to
constantly expanding and increasing its own portfolio. To make a
decision to invest outside of the own borders is a complex and
comprehensive process. This process is achieved through several stages
and approaches that contain a longterm comprehensive analysis and
scanning newly elected investment location.

28 | P a g e
Recommendation
In essence, globalization is about the world becoming increasingly
interconnected. Countries today are more connected than ever before, due
to factors such as air travel, containerized sea shipping, international
trade agreements and legal treaties, and the Internet. In the world of
business, globalization is associated with trends such as outsourcing,
free trade, and international supply chains. Globalization is important
as it increases the size of the global market, and allows more and
different goods to be produced and sold for cheaper prices.

Globalization is also important because it is one of the most powerful


forces affecting the modern world, so much so that it can be difficult
to make sense of the world without understanding globalization. For
example, many of the largest and most successful corporations in the
world are in effect truly multinational organizations, with offices and
supply chains stretched right across the world. These companies would
not be able to exist if not for the complex network of trade routes,
international legal agreements, and telecommunications infrastructure
that were made possible through globalization. Important political
developments, such as the ongoing trade conflict between the United
States and China, are also directly related to globalization.
