Overview
Students of management must understand the global economy in order to meet the challenges of the 21st
century. Indeed, the likelihood of students engaging in or being affected by some form of international
operations is extremely high. This chapter considers the obstacles and opportunities facing managers of
international activities and provides practical advice for meeting these challenges.
The chapter begins by considering the international business challenges of globalization. Among the
challenges, students are asked to consider global management, the global economy, market entry and
direct investment strategies. Next, the chapter describes the global business environment with its legal and
political systems, trade agreements and barriers, and economic alliances. Global businesses and what they
do follow, including the advantages and disadvantages of global corporations for host countries. Ethical
problems such as corruption, sweatshops and child labor are examined.
Next, the chapter examines culture and its link to global diversity. Here students will learn about the
details of culture through Edward T. Hall’s “silent” language of culture and Geert Hofstede’s dimension
of value differences. The chapter wraps up with a discussion of comparative management and its
implications for intercultural competency.

MANAGEMENT AND GLOBALIZATION

Learning Objective: Discuss the implications of globalization for management and organizations.
GLOBAL MANAGEMENT
The global economy is making the diverse countries of the world increasingly interdependent
regarding resource supplies, product markets, and business competition.
Globalization is the process of growing interdependence among the components of the global
economy.
World 3.0 is a world where nations cooperate in the global economy while still respecting
different national characters and interests.
The graphic on page 99 of the text traces the “travels” of a t-shirt from the cotton fields of Texas
in the USA to the store in Tanzania, which shows how globalization works today.
DISCUSSION TOPIC
Prior to discussing this chapter in class, have each student find a recent newspaper or magazine article
that relates to globalization issues. Articles can easily be found in business publications such as The Wall
Street Journal, Business Week, Fortune, and Forbes, as well as many other publications such as the
“Money” section of USA Today, or popular magazines such as Time and Newsweek. Each student should
be prepared to discuss his/her article in class. Choose several students to talk about the key ideas in their
selected articles, and ask the entire class to help identify how these ideas relate to the challenges of
globalization.
Global management involves managing operations in more than one country.
A global manager is a manager who is informed about international developments, transnational

in outlook, competent in working with people from other cultures, and always aware of regional
developments in a changing world.
WHY COMPANIES GO GLOBAL
An international business conducts commercial transactions of goods and/or services across

national boundaries.

Reasons businesses go international:

• Profits: global operations offer profit potential
• Customers: global operations offer new markets to sell products.
• Suppliers: global operations offer access to needed raw materials.
• Capital: global operations offer access to financial resources.
• Labor: global operations offer lower labor costs.
• Risk: global operations spread assets among multiple countries.
HOW COMPANIES GO GLOBAL
FIGURE 5.1 from p. 101 in the text identifies the two common forms of international business
strategies – Market Entry and Direct Investment.
Global Sourcing
A common first step into international business is global sourcing, which is the process
of purchasing materials, manufacturing components, or business services from around the
world.
Exporting and Importing
A second form of international business involves exporting and/or importing.
Exporting is a form of international business that involves selling locally made products
in foreign markets.
Importing is a form of international business that involves buying foreign-made products

and selling them in domestic markets.
Licensing and Franchising
Other forms of international business include the licensing agreement and franchising.
A licensing agreement occurs when another firm pays a fee for the rights to make or sell
another company’s products in a specified region.
Franchising involves buying the rights to use another’s name and operating methods in
its home country.
Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances

Foreign direct investment strategies require major capital commitments but create rights
of ownership and control over operations in the foreign country. Local job creation,
called insourcing, results from foreign direct investment.
A joint venture establishes business operations in a foreign country through co-

ownership arrangements that pool resources and share risks and control of business
operations.
International joint ventures are types of global strategic alliances in which foreign and
domestic firms work together for mutual benefit.
Foreign Subsidiaries
A foreign subsidiary is a local operation completely owned and controlled by a foreign

firm. While the subsidiary can be acquired, it may also be a greenfield venture, i.e., a
foreign subsidiary built from the ground up by the foreign owner.
GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS
Legal and Political Systems
Global operations managers must be prepared to deal with the differences between home-
country and host-country laws and politics.
By using the planning technique of political-risk analysis, companies are able to forecast
a country’s political risk, which is the possible loss in value of a foreign investment due
to instability and political changes in the host country,
Trade Agreements and Trade Barriers
The World Trade Organization is an international organization that monitors

international trade and tries to resolve disputes among countries about tariffs and trade
restrictions.
The WTO members agree to give one another most favored nation status which gives a
trading partner most favorable treatment for imports and exports.
Even with most favored nation status, trade barriers still exist in the form of:
Tariffs: taxes that the government imposes on imports.
Nontariffs: quotas, import restrictions and protectionism, which is a call for tariffs and
favorable treatment to protect domestic industries from foreign competition.

Regional Economic Alliances
Regional economic alliances are growing around the world and represent a significant
challenge for global managers.
NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement) is a trade agreement that links
Canada, Mexico, and the United States in a regional economic alliance.
The European Union is a political and economic alliance of 28 European countries that
have agreed to support mutual economic growth by removing barriers that previously
limited cross-border trade and business development.
The Euro is the common currency used in the European Union.
APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) promotes free trade and investment among
its 21 members in the Pacific region.
ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) has a goal of promoting economic

growth and progress among its 10 member nations.
SADC (South Africa Development Community) links 14 countries of southern Africa in

trade and economic development efforts.
DISCUSSION TOPIC
Divide the class into small discussion groups. Assign each group one of the following four geographic
regions: Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific Rim, or Africa. Have the groups spend 10-12 minutes
identifying the potential challenges and opportunities that these areas face in the context of the global
economy. Have each group report out to the entire class with a brief summary of its key discussion points.
GLOBAL BUSINESS
Takeaway 2: What are global businesses, and how do they work?
Learning Objective: Describe global corporations and the issues they face and create.
A typical global corporation, also called multinational enterprise (MNE) and multinational
corporation (MNC), operates in many countries but has corporate headquarters in one home or
host country.
TYPES OF GLOBAL BUSINESSES
A transnational corporation is a multinational corporation that operates worldwide without

being identified with one national home. Executives of transnational organizations view the entire

world as their domain for acquiring resources, locating production facilities, marketing goods and
services, and communicating brand image.
DISCUSSION TOPIC
An easy way to get students involved in a discussion at this point is to ask them to provide examples of
global corporations or MNCs. Students should be able to quickly generate a long list of MNCs. Engage in
some discussion of where these firms have their operations and what types of products or services they
provide.
PROS AND CONS OF GLOBAL CORPORATIONS
Multinational host-country relationships provide shared opportunities with potential for growth,
income, learning and development
Globalization Gap: is where large multinational corporations and industrialized nations gain
disproportionately from the benefits of globalization.
Host-Country Issues
Host-country complaints about MNC: Excessive profits, economic domination,

interference with government, hire best local talent, limited technology transfer, and
disrespect for local customs.
Host-country benefits: larger tax bases, increased employment opportunities, technology

transfers, the introduction of new industries, and the development of local resources.
Home-County Issues
Multinational corporation complaints about host countries: profit limitations, overpriced

resources, exploitative rules, foreign exchange restrictions, and failure to uphold
contracts.
FIGURE 5.2 on page 108 of the text describes what should go right and what can go wrong in
global corporation and host country relationships.
ETHICS CHALLENGES FOR GLOBAL BUSINESSES
The ethical aspects of international business deserve special attention.

Corruption
Corruption involves engaging in illegal practices to further one’s business interests.

Bribery and other forms of corruption can pose significant challenges for a global
business.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits U.S. businesses and their representatives
from engaging in corrupt practices abroad.
Child labor and Sweatshops
Child labor is the full-time employment of children for work otherwise done by adults.
Sweatshops are business operations that employ workers at low wages for long hours
and in poor working conditions.
CULTURES AND GLOBAL DIVERSITY

Learning Objective: Define culture and identify ways to describe diversity in global cultures.
Culture is a shared set of beliefs, values, and patterns of behavior common to a group of people.
Culture shock is the confusion and discomfort that a person experiences when in an unfamiliar
culture.
CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
Ethnocentrism is the tendency to consider one’s culture as superior to others.
Cultural intelligence is the ability to adapt, adjust, and work well across cultures.
The Box on page 113 of the text describes stages in adjusting to a new culture. These stages are:
• Confusion: first contacts with the new culture leave you anxious, uncomfortable, and in need
of information and advice.
• Small victories: continued interactions bring some “successes,” and your confidence grows in
handling daily affairs.
• The honeymoon: a time of wonderment, cultural immersion, and even infatuation, with local
ways viewed positively.
• Irritation and anger: a time when the “negatives” may overwhelm the “positives and the new
culture becomes a target of your criticism.
• Reality: a time of rebalancing; you are able to enjoy the new culture while recognizing less
desirable elements.
DISCUSSION TOPIC

If any of your students have lived or traveled abroad, ask them to describe their experiences and relate
them to the stages of adjusting to a new culture.
SILENT LANGUAGES OF CULTURE
The dimensions of Edward T. Hall’s “silent languages of culture” include context, time
orientation, and the use of space.
Context
In a low-context culture most communication takes place via the written or spoken
word.
In a high-context culture much communication takes place through nonverbal and

situational cues in addition to the written or spoken word.
Time
In a monochronic culture people tend to do one thing at a time.
In a polychronic culture time is used to accomplish many different things at once.
Space
Proxemics is how people use space to communicate.
TIGHT AND LOOSE CULTURES
In tight cultures, norms are strong and clear and guide behavior. Deviations from the norm are
noticed, discouraged and even sanctioned. Examples of tight cultures include Malaysia, Korea
and Japan.
In loose cultures social norms are relaxed and less clear cut and conformity may vary a great deal.
Examples of loose cultures include Ukraine, Hungary and Brazil.
VALUES AND NATIONAL CULTURES
Geert Hofstede’s work is often considered a benchmark for how cultural differences can
influence management and organizational practices.
FIGURE 5.3 on page 114 of the text describes how countries compare on Hofstede’s five
dimensions of national culture.
Five dimensions of value differences in national culture from Hofstede are:

1. Power distance: the degree to which a society accepts or rejects the unequal distribution of
power among people in organizations and the institutions of society.
2. Individualism-collectivism: the degree to which a society emphasizes individual

accomplishments and self-interests, versus collective accomplishments and the interests of
groups.
3. Uncertainty avoidance: the degree to which a society is uncomfortable with risk, change,
and situational uncertainty, versus having tolerance for them.
4. Masculinity-femininity: the degree to which a society values assertiveness and material

success, versus feelings, relationships, and quality of life.
5. Time orientation: the degree to which a society emphasizes the short-term versus long-term
goals and gratifications.

DISCUSSION TOPIC
Focus again on the students who, in the previous Discussion Topic, identified themselves as having lived
or traveled abroad. Ask them to identify the nation(s) and attempt, on the basis of their experiences, to
characterize those nations in terms of Hofstede’s dimensions of culture. If enough nations are represented,
a comparative analysis could be fruitful. Also compare these nations to the United States. You could also
try to link this analysis to Figure 5.3.
GLOBAL MANAGEMENT LEARNING

Learning Objective: Identify the benefits of global learning for management and organizations.
Comparative management studies how management perspectives and practices systematically

differ among countries and cultures.
ARE MANAGEMENT THEORIES UNIVERSAL?
The management process must be used appropriately and applied with sensitivity to local cultures
and situations.
Management practices are influenced by cultural values; practices that are successful in one
culture may work less well in others.
INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCIES
Intercultural competencies are skills and personal characteristics that help us to be successful in
cross cultural situations.
GLOBAL LEARNING GOALS
One’s intercultural competency is strengthened by combining intercultural knowledge with

management skills and applying these principles in a culturally relative way.
Takeaway Summary

• Global managers are informed about international developments and are competent in working with
people from different cultures.
• The forces of globalization create international business opportunities to pursue profits, customers,
capital, and low-cost suppliers and labor in different countries.

business activities.
• Regional economic alliances, such as NAFTA, the EU, and SADC link nations of the world with the
goals of promoting economic development.

markets around the world.
FOR DISCUSSION: What aspects of the U.S. legal-political environment could prove difficult for a
Chinese firm setting up a factory in America?
Takeaway 2: What are global businesses and how do they work?

• A global corporation is a multinational enterprise or multinational corporation with extensive
operations in multiple foreign countries.
• A transnational corporation tries to operate globally without a strong national identity and with a
worldwide mission and strategies.
• Global corporations can benefit host countries by offering broader tax bases, new technologies, and
employment opportunities.
• Global Corporations can cause problems for host countries if they interfere in local government,
extract excessive profits, and dominate the local economy.
• The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits American multinational corporations from engaging
in bribery and corrupt practices abroad.
FOR DISCUSSION: Is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act unfair to American firms trying to compete for
business around the world?

• Culture is a shared set of beliefs, values, and behavior patterns common to a group of people.
• Culture shock is the discomfort people sometimes experience when interacting with persons from
cultures different from their own.
• Cultural intelligence is an individual capacity to understand, respect, and adapt to cultural differences.

• Hofstede’s five dimensions of value differences in national cultures are power distance, uncertainty
avoidance, individualism-collectivism, masculinity-femininity, and time orientation.
FOR DISCUSSION: Should religion be included on Hall’s list of the silent languages of culture?

• The field of comparative management studies how management is practiced around the world and
how management ideas are transferred from one country or culture to the next.
• The foundations for intercultural competency are found in perception management relationship
management and self-management.

• Global management learning must recognize that successful practices in one culture may work less
well in others.
FOR DISCUSSION: Even though cultural differences are readily apparent, is the tendency today for the
world’s cultures to converge and become more alike?
