,money that is invested - ANS capital

example
historically, manufacturing industries were located in more developed countries. In recent
decades, manufacturing has decreased in more developed countries. Lower labour costs have
caused companies to relocate production abroad. As a result of these changes, international
trade has increased. - ANS factors promoting globalisation- flows of products
the number of people employed in manufacturing industries in the UK fell from more than 5
million in 1985 to around 2.6 million in 2014 - ANS flows of products example
improvements to ICT means services can locate anywhere. Services can be split into high
(developed countries) and low levels. Companies are increasingly relocating to low level
services (labour=cheaper) - ANS factors promoting globalisation- flows of services
During 1970s and 80s there was deregulation and opening up of national financial markets to
the world - ANS flows of services example
more people move overseas, either because they have to, or for work - ANS factors
promoting globalisation- flows of labour
globalisation allows countries to pool their resources to solve global issues that are too great

improved transport and communications systems have made human trafficking easier -
ANS negatives of globalisation- injustice
more pollution due to increased transportation. Access to resources from around the world
causes deforestation and overfishing. The abundance of cheap products around the world
means people can afford to be more wasteful, creating lots of landfill - ANS negatives of
globalisation- harmful to the environment
include ways of working, procedures and methods of organisation that allow a particular
function to be carried out. Since the 1940s , many new systems have been introduced to make
it easier for flows of info, capital, products, services and labour to cross national boundaries -
ANS factors affecting globalisation- systems
