What is globalization?
as international integration arising from the exchange of world views, products, ideas, and other
aspects of culture.
What is Culture Globalization?
refers to the transmission of ideas, meanings, and values around the world in such a way that extends
and intensifies social relations.
What is Political Globalization?

intergovernmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations

What is intellectual property?

rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc.
What is the FIRST stage of going global?
Market entry- companies enter new countries using business models similar to the ones deployed in
their home markets. To gain access to local customers, however, companies often need to establish a
production presence, either because of the nature of their businesses, such as in-service industries
like food, retail, or banking, or because of local countries' regulatory restrictions, such as in the auto
industry.
What is the SECOND stage of going global?
Product Specialization- companies transfer the full production process of a particular product to a
single, low-cost location and export the goods to various consumer markets. In this scenario, different
locations begin to specialize in different products or components and trade in finished goods.
What is the THIRD stage of going global?
value chain disaggregation- represents the next step in the company's globalization of the supply
chain infrastructure. In this stage, companies disaggregate the production process and focus on
completing each activity in the most advantageous location. Individual components of a single
product might be manufactured in several different places and assembled into final products
elsewhere. Examples include the PC industry market and the decision by companies to offshore some
of their business processes and information technology services.2
What is the FOURTH stage of going global?
Value chain reengineering-
,companies seek to further increase their cost savings by reengineering their processes to suit local
market conditions by substituting lower cost labor for capital. General Electric's (GE) medical
equipment division, for example, has tailored its manufacturing processes abroad to take advantage
of low labor costs. Not only does it use more labor-intensive production processes, but it also designs
and builds the capital equipment for its local plants
What is the FIFTH stage of going global?
creation of new markets- the focus is on market expansion. This allows companies to substantially
lower their sticker prices in both old and new markets and to expand demand. Significantly, the value
of new revenues generated in this last stage is often greater than the value of cost savings in the
other stages.
