ABSTRACT

Globalization has been rapidly developing in the Philippines ever since the influence of

the United States during World War II. The globalization of the Philippines has grown since the

development of the country. There are a lot of technological and global advances that have

gone on in the Philippines and I feel that if this country continues to progress in this direction, it

will eventually reach the goals that have been set. Small businesses need to evolve to stay

relevant and this includes creating an online presence with the allure of being accessible and

being open to automated solutions that will aid manufacture in the long run. The learning curve

can seem daunting and expensive, however there are a myriad of benefits to adopting this new

way of doing things.

As Marikina City is experiencing the increase in Globalization the tax is also increasing,

depending on the location of the business, it may be subject to complex tax regulations. As we

can see, globalization has a great impact on small businesses, especially the businesses that

have just started. This study will help to better understand and give the correct information to

the readers to somehow expand their knowledge not only to people with positions but also to

the simple citizen.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the chosen topic to study. It includes the background of the study,

the statement of the problem, conceptual framework, significance of the study, and scope and

limitation of the study, which are manually laid out by researchers so that the audience can fully

understand its purpose.

Almost all business owners are excited about opening their new business, but with the

growth of Globalization there are challenges that have to be faced by their business. just like the

difficulties in balancing growth and quality in a business. Globalization is the means by which

countries interact with each other. For small businesses, growth often comes with growing

pains. In many instances, you have to make the choice between working long hours and asking

your staff to do the same or finding ways to cut corners. Neither is a great solution, meaning

that, ultimately, you will have to find a way to grow your business without hurting your business.

According to Melanie Chan (2017), there are many challenges small businesses face,

the most prominent being competition and price wars. One analogy puts it this way, suddenly

small businesses are like small fish in a big sea with other small and large fish. The other

smaller species compete for the same food, while the larger fish simply eat the smaller ones to

keep themselves going.

Small businesses also need to adopt technology in their businesses. The only way small

businesses can compete on the same scale as larger ones with globalization is to adopt

methods of automation and connectivity. It may not be effective anymore for the local vineyard

to simply service the same clients they always have, writing out receipts and steering away from

anything remotely computerized. Small businesses need to evolve to stay relevant and this

includes creating an online presence with the allure of being accessible and being open to

automated solutions that will aid manufacture in the long run. The learning curve can seem

daunting and expensive, however there are a myriad of benefits to adopting this new way of

doing things.

The impact of globalization in Marikina City can be also considered as an opportunity by

making their business more advanced through trading, technology, society and politics as a key

to the development of their business to make it inevitable and irreversible. Adapting to

globalization and participating in it can be able to make the business grow faster and reduce

poverty. Though globalization requires a high level of education and literacy and poverty level is

still increasing, owners of small businesses in Marikina city should reduce the standards on

seeking applicants to give them opportunities for those that are in need for a living. As Marikina

City in the Philippines is one of the places that was affected by Globalization, and there was

much to look forward to on the business, the people hope to bring developments within the

business as well on the economy in order to help the society to be on its better status.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Globalization has been very effective in the Philippines. There have been major changes

in the economy since 1995 when the Philippines took part in signing agreements with the World

Trade Organization. There have been changes in the country such as more labor and more

companies that have emerged to help the economy. Globalization has been rapidly developing

in the Philippines ever since the influence of the United States during World War II. The

globalization of the Philippines, in my opinion, has grown since the development of the country.

There are a lot of technological and global advances that have gone on in the Philippines and I

feel that if this country continues to progress in this direction, it will eventually reach the goals

that have been set.

Marikina City is full of new small businesses and it is known that most of them

are experiencing risks and challenges because of Globalization. Though increasing of

Globalization is a great sign of development of an economy, it also has a negative impact on the

small businesses resulting in their business putting it to a competition. One example of small

businesses in Marikina City are milk tea shops, street foods shops, coffee shops etc.

Technology is also one of the main tools of competition and the quality of goods and services.

On the other hand it necessitates quite a lot of cost for the company. The company has to use

the latest technology to increase their sales and product quality, this affects the lifespan of small

business and environment in different ways. These have affected all small businesses related

to competition and rapid changes of technology.

Globalization is best to describe the interdependence of the economies, cultures, and

populations, brought by trading in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment,

people, and information. It speeds up the movements and exchanges of goods, services,

technology, and capital in the business. As Globalization leads the concept of main factor in the

business industry, the competition gets bigger which affects the small businesses in Marikina

City. The said competition affects the target market, technological adaptation, the cost of goods

and services etc. the small or local businesses have to compete with bigger corporations that

produce cheaper or lower costs of goods which puts the small businesses at risk. Biswanath

(1988) has conducted a study of small scale industries to analyze whether the productivity level

of these industries is up to their optimum level or not. He observed that small scale industries

have very lower labor productivity, however capital productivity is very high. His overall

productivity is found to be very low.

Globalization also affects the needed capital for starting a business. As globalization

increases, the chance that a business owner needs a larger capital to start a business grows,

because he needs to keep up with the growth to advertise his business. Also because of

Globalization, customers have a large multitude of choices in the market and this affects their

behaviors. They want to acquire goods and services quickly and in a more efficient way than

before. They also expect high quality and low prices. All these expectations need a response

from the company, otherwise sales of the company will decrease and they will lose profit and

market share. A company must always be ready for price, product and service and customer

preferences because all of these are global market requirements.

Small businesses in Marikina City begin to lose their distinctive features, and lose their

global diversity. There are many new businesses that change the theme and adapt it to what is

the current trend that is popular globally So that it will also affect our own product and the other

country's product is more recognized than our own product. Since the resources available and

the amount of the capital to be invested in businesses are quite low, establishment and

development of large size industries is not an easy task for such businesses.

One of the disadvantages of globalization is the increasing number of jobless people.

Increase in the standard for hiring employees, so even if an applicant can do the job, they are

not given a chance because they do not fit the said standard of a business or company. The

increasing demand and low supply of job opportunities may cause employees to offer cheaper

labor to secure employment. As a result, it also makes it easy for employees to opt for cheap

labor in places that have higher employee exploitation due to lax or non-existent labor laws.

This situation creates a vacuum and removes employees in the company or industry, increasing

unemployment and inequality in the country. Although there's the option of retraining employees

and re-integrating them into new international markets, this may take considerable time, further

increasing the global competition for limited job opportunities. Provisions may contain different

rules regarding employee rights and obligations, work permits, termination procedures, filing

procedures, and social responsibilities.

As Marikina City is experiencing the increase in Globalization the tax is also increasing,

depending on the location of the business, it may be subject to complex tax regulations. As we

can see, globalization has a great impact on small businesses, especially the businesses that

have just started. This study will help to better understand and give the correct information to

the readers to somehow expand their knowledge not only to people with positions but also to

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the relevant literature and studies that the researcher

considered in strengthening the claim and importance of the present study. The literature and

studies adduced in this chapter addresses the different ideas, concepts, generalization,

conclusions and also the different development related to the study starting from the past up to

the present. This will serve as a guide for the researchers in developing the project.

Foreign Literature

Economic globalization has created many challenges for small and medium enterprises

(SMEs) due to the rapid increase in competition. At present, the economic competition is seen

in global domains, and it has become severe after the 1980s with economic globalization and

turned more severe after accessing the WTO (World Trade Organization) trade regime in 1995.

As SMEs build a vital corporation to the economies in developed and developing countries, it is

vital to consider the influences of economic competition on SMEs than other industries due to

industry-specific features such as low technology base, high concentration in the labor-intensive

sector, low entry barriers, relatively low fixed costs of production, and mainly producing

price-taker goods (Prasanna et al. 2019). Today, the WTO is the leading multilateral

organization which governs global trade and promotes the free trade conditions in the global

economy.

________________________________________________________________________

Currently, the speed of globalization has been accelerated by the advancement of

information and communication technology, and most SMEs are adopting this strategy to

increase their market competitiveness. Furthermore, the fall of communist economies, the

interaction of the market economy, financial liberty, and capital movement deregulation have

accelerated the globalization process (Sung et al. 2016).

According to (Rabiul Islam, Fakhrorazi, H. Hartini, Md. Abu Raihan, April 2019),

International business can be defined as the exchange of services and goods among individuals

and multiple countries. An international business company is engaged in business among

multiple countries. International business comprises all commercial transactions, whether

private and/or governmental, investments, sales, and transportation that takes place between

two or more countries and regions beyond political boundaries. International business is

focused on global resources and objectives of the organizations are on global business

opportunities and threats. In this paper, the problem statement is “What is Malaysia’s import,

export, and trade balance in international trade?” International trade can be defined as the

exchange of capital, goods, and services across international regions. Many countries define

such trade as a significant share of gross domestic product.

However, much research conducted in OECD (The Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development) countries started concentrating on income inequality, financial

development, and economic growth (Madsen et al., 2018), globalization, financial development,

and environmental quality (Zafar et al., 2018). ., 2019a). However the impact of globalization,

natural resources, and human capital on financial development in OECD countries has not been

studied. Many research findings have shown how financial development and globalization

promote economic growth, but detailed analyses of structural changes in the financial system

and human capital have yet to be published in full. SMEs face many challenges in the

globalization era including absence of adequate and timely finances, limited capital as well as

access to international market and knowledge (Anand, 2015).

Industrialization has been seen as a major force in structural change, a crucial and

powerful engine in the overall development process. It will remain crucial to the future growth of

developing countries (The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO, 2016).

Globalization is one of the most important factors of today’s economic development,

fundamentally influencing all fields, including production. Globalization has challenged the way

industrial development takes place (Lee et al., 2016).

Local Literature

(John Villa, Aug 2016), Globalization has offered considerable controversial impact. It

has been viewed as a process that is a major factor that is a key to the development of the

world economy and also it is inevitable and irreversible. Some regard it with hostility, fear that

increases inequality between nations, threatens employment and living standards and social

progress. These brief facts are an overview of some aspects of globalization and aims to

identify ways in which countries can tap the gains of this process while remaining realistic about

its possible abilities and its dangers. In fact, globalization offers essential opportunities for global

developments but it is not progressing at an even pace. Some countries have adapted to

globalization and are participating in the global economy faster than other countries are. This is

because countries with globalization have been able to integrate and are growing faster and

reducing poverty. However, the effectiveness of globalization in developing countries is widely

active because globalization helps give opportunities in such countries in order to establish

stability especially in the economy, trade, politics, society, labor, technology and to reduce

poverty level.

Country’s credible and efficient implementation of inflation targeting (Guinigundo

(2017), Globalization is also considered as one of the factors for the observed decline in the

sensitivity of inflation in the Philippines to changes in real economic activity or the flattening of

the Phillips curve. On the one hand, a flatter Phillips curve implies that demand shocks and

policy errors will not translate into large inflation movements. On the other hand, this means

that, if inflation is above target, bringing it down to the target level would entail a greater

sacrifice of output, giving greater weight to the central bank’s commitment to its primary

responsibility for price stability (Guinigundo (2017). This attribution is based on three

observations of Iakova (2007). First, strong international competition constraints businesses

from increasing prices when demand rises. Second, increased trade and investment flows have

made prices less responsive to domestic demand pressures. Third, global migration, which has

intensified in recent years, has caused wages and prices to become less sensitive to domestic

demand shifts. These apply to the Philippines’ exports or imports, which have become less

concentrated (concentration index declined from 0.36 in 1995 to 0.29 in 2016, with 1 as highly

concentrated) and the country has also reduced its divergence from world trade patterns

(diversification index dropped from 0.62 in 1995 to 0.56 in 2016, with 1 as greatly divergent).13

The former indicates the presence of more diversified products, and more competition in the

domestic market, while the latter implies that the export/import structure of the Philippines is

becoming less different from that of world trade. Distribution of income, dispersed economic

activities to the countryside and most importantly, SMEs are potent forces in the war against

poverty.

According to Kenton (2018), the broader meaning of globalization is that it is also a

social, political, cultural, and legal phenomenon. In social terms, the concept represents greater

interconnectedness among global populations. Culturally, globalization represents the exchange

of ideas, information, and even values among cultures, and also a trend toward the

development of a single world culture. In politics, countries’ political activities have been shifted

by globalization to the global level.

(Eric S. Parilla 2015) In the midst of economic slowdown and recession, many people

are deprived of enjoying basic living needs. The creeping truth of an economic disease is further

contaminated by hateful political ignominies and social unrest; hence the small and average

economic forces are pinned down to poverty and scarcity of economic needs. It is however with

this eminence that many individuals look for alternative sources of income and become

entrepreneurs. The Philippines enacted R.A. No. 9178, a law that promotes the establishment of

Barangay Micro Business enterprises by providing incentives and benefits in promoting the

formation of micro enterprises, which serve as seedbeds of Filipino entrepreneurial talents, by

giving them fiscal and non-fiscal incentives that will help them survive and grow into viable

enterprises. The importance of entrepreneurship in the development of the country had been

undeniably significant. Private sector development and entrepreneurship development are

essential ingredients for achieving the Millennium Development Goal of reducing poverty. While

sound macroeconomic policies and providing market access are crucial, emerging markets

need to nurture and develop entrepreneurs able to take advantage of opportunities created by

globalization.

Foreign study

As per (Oobayashi, 2018, p.137) Under globalization, the subcontracting structure in

business is continuing to drop. Global transformation has a severe impact on small businesses.

According to Oobayashi, these changes mean the loss of the conventional foundation of the

existence of small businesses. Thus, it will result in the loss of job opportunities and the

foundation to start a business. It eventually will lead to the loss of national economic strength.”

The mass production system not only caused the rate of profit to fall, it also resulted in a

reduction in the amount of profit caused by the economic slump. With the amount of profit

declining, the attempt to increase financial income was made through financial speculation.

However, the financialization of the economy boosted the instability of finance, as epitomized in

the 2008 financial crisis. Thus, finance regulations were enhanced with the Basel Capital

Accord. Thus, financing small businesses became difficult. Originally, small businesses in Japan

suffered a chronic fund shortage, and financing from banks made their existence possible.

Nevertheless, the reinforced financial regulations exacerbated the fund shortage of small

businesses and endangered their existence.

Fiseha and Oyelana (2015) Emphasized that SMEs play an important role in local

economic growth in South Africa since they create jobs, wealth, alleviate poverty, and generate

income. Yet, SMEs in poor nations suffer various hurdles, notably, lack of capital, lack of

business skills and lack of operational space. Local governments, the business sector, and civil

society should expand their support for SMEs in order to increase their contribution to local

economic development. The participation of all sectors is also required in the formation and

maintenance of assistance for SMEs.

Sajuyigbe, A. S. Alabi, E. Adewale, A. J. (2016) suggests that globalization has

positively affected the performance of small scale enterprises in Nigeria in terms of profitability.

This could be due to the Nigerian federal government's deregulation of critical sectors. The

report therefore proposes that small scale enterprises in Nigeria need to promote quick

innovation, new range of products and build up new markets. The Nigerian government has to

reform its regulations by establishing legislation that include openness, credibility and

transparency in government operations as well as reducing bureaucratic interference and

corruption. Furthermore, the government should provide incentives for global corporations to

establish relationships with small-scale firms in Nigeria.

According to Vanham (2019), previous waves of globalization were characterized by

rapid growth. Global trade is expanding, which is frequently accompanied by cross-border

investment. The first wave started. from the nineteenth century to World War I; in the first wave,

steamships and railways made transportation-enabled trade possible. GDP share of global

trade increased from 6 percent in 1800 to 14 percent in 1914. The first wave, on the other hand,

ended in an Over the course of two world wars, there was a period of catastrophic conflict and

economic malaise.

Small businesses in developing countries, as part of global supply chains, are

sometimes assumed to respond in a straightforward manner to institutional demands for

improved working conditions. This article problematizes this perspective. Drawing upon

extensive qualitative data from Tirupur’s knitwear export industry in India, we highlight

owner-managers’ agency in avoiding or circumventing these demands. The small businesses

here actively engage in irresponsible business practices and “evasion” institutional work to

disrupt institutional demands in three ways: undermining assumptions and values, dissociating

consequences, and accumulating autonomy and political strength. This “evasion” work is

supported by three conditions: void (in labor welfare mechanisms), distance (from institutional

monitors), and contradictions (between value systems). Through detailed empirical findings, the

article contributes to research on both small business social responsibility and institutional work.

In terms of minimized barriers and openness of the world, the inevitable process of

globalization and the business actions represent projects that are facing success potentials, as

well as risk and failure potentials. The indisputable accent on these aspects is certainly the

success and the reliability of the business ventures for which the ultimate goal is the economic

satisfaction, minimizing the risks as well as the establishment of long-term experiences in order

to maintain a particular enterprise in a particular environment. The participation on the world's

global markets, the internationalization and the transfer of the business activities on all

business story of the international economic activity for at least three centuries ago. (Ristovska

Katerina, Ristovska Aneta, August 2015).

Local study

The global economy has recognized the role of micro-and small businesses in providing

jobs, social development, and serving as an alternative to unemployment, all of which are

critical for economic growth (Rungani & Potgieter, 2018; Tefera, 2013) [38, 43]. Prior research

emphasizes the importance of micro and small businesses in alleviating poverty and

unemployment (Medalla and Mantaring, 2017) [31]. MSEs accounted for the majority of

business entities in the majority of industrialized and emerging economies. However, a recent

study indicates that the growth of microenterprises has remained a challenge, particularly in

underdeveloped countries where capital is scarce and opportunities are limited (Tambunan,

2019)

The Philippines, which has hitherto been reaping the growth dividend from the third

wave of globalization owing to a functioning democracy, achieving monetary stability,

liberalization of trade, and related market reforms. In a fast-changing world, the strategies

forged previously may need a fundamental rethinking to enable the country to survive, and

thrive, in an era of global transition. There are four key features of the new globalization:

economic restructuring; worsening global inequality; threats to international cooperation in

providing global public goods (GPGs) and weakening of traditional ties of social cohesion and

trust. The paper develops a set of recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders in

Francis Mark A. Quimba, September 2019).

If a company produces less and sells more cheaply, it can raise its market share.

The rationale of this study in finding the impact of globalization on business performance is that

the business performance is driven by profit-making policies and procedures and leads to the

overall development and well-being of the business and the country which is not possible until

the business is recognised globally (Camillus et al, 2017).

According to (Miranda, A.T. and Miranda, J.L.F., 2018), In rural communities, business

establishments such as the SMEs can be a source of power, more so, if they are making a dent

on the lives of a significant number of rural people. Obviously, SMEs have the capacities and

capabilities to generate employment and income that at the very least will provide the people

fair chances of accessing, owning and controlling resources. Through employment and income

that SMEs can provide, people get opportunities of availing improved services on health,

nutrition and education and further maximize their potential toward availing better facilities on

housing, water and power supply. The emergence and growth of SMEs in rural communities

becomes evident when the needed support mechanisms that will make the business

environment more conducive to business operations are in place. Trade policies, for example,

should encourage investors to establish, develop and expand their businesses. Other factors

that may prove beneficial to the emergence of SMES such as the presence of credit institutions

with good lending packages; the technical intervention and support from the government and

private sectors such as capability building and skills enhancement programs to equip and

capacitate the management and staff of the SMEs on the intricacies of business management.

SMEs are recognized by the Philippine Government as the cornerstone of economic growth. In

particular, the government has enacted the Republic Act 8289, also known as the Magna Carta

for Small Enterprises, which aims to support and strengthen the SMEs development, particularly

those that are rural and agriculture-based. The sector contributes about 33 per cent to the

country’s economic growth and employs about 67 per cent of the labor force. The role of the

SMEs in the economy’s growth is very vital. They contribute to a more equitable society.

After conducting a literature review and study, many researchers and authors.

suggestions for improvement for infant developmental efforts. Expand your industry to match the

pace of globalization. Therefore, a study was needed to clarify the above aspects. This research

work is done to find the answer to this question, along with the proposed Recommendation.

Economic globalization has created many challenges for small and medium enterprises

(SMEs) due to the rapid increase in competition. As SMEs build a vital corporation to the

economies in developed and developing countries, it is vital to consider the influences of

economic competition on SMEs than other industries due to industry-specific features such as

low technology base, high concentration in the labor-intensive sector, low entry barriers,

relatively low fixed costs of production, and mainly producing price-taker goods. SMEs face

many challenges in the globalization era including absence of adequate and timely finances,

limited capital as well as access to international market and knowledge.

On the other hand, Globalization is one of the most important factors of today’s

economic development, fundamentally influencing all fields, including production. Globalization

has challenged the way industrial development takes place. The rationale of this study in finding

the impact of globalization on business performance is that the business performance is driven

by profit-making policies and procedures and leads to the overall development and well-being of

the business and the country which is not possible until the business is recognised globally.

Through employment and income that SMEs can provide, people get opportunities of availing

improved services on health, nutrition and education and further maximize their potential toward

As globalization continuously grows and increasing the chance that a business owner

needs a larger capital to start a business grows, because they need to keep up with the growth

energy and critical thinking to make good decisions for the business but they answered that

experience is not needed to start a business while globalization grows.

The rationale of this study in finding the impact of globalization on business

performance is that the business performance is driven by profit-making policies and

procedures and leads to the overall development and well-being of the business and the country

which is not possible until the business is recognised globally. Globalization affects the target

market, technological adaptation, the cost of goods and services etc. the small or local

businesses have to compete with bigger corporations that produce cheaper or lower costs of

goods which puts the small businesses at risk.

Recommendations

With respect to the findings and conclusions this study has procured, the researchers

have listed some recommendations designed for owners of small scale businesses to venture

throughout globalization.

1. The researchers recommend to avoid being paranoid to handle the situations in

business correctly and professionally.

2. Take the impact of Globalization as an opportunity to improve the skills and thinking to

make good decisions for the business, experience is the best teacher.

3. Keep in line with the standard business expenses, do not spend that exceeds the

budget and income came from the business to avoid bankruptcy.

4. Conduct a study on how to take risks in doing business throughout globalization to

educate yourself how to keep up with risks and competition.
