Emergence of Global Institutions!
As markets globalize and an increasing proportion of
business activity transcends national borders, institutionsare needed to help manage, regulate, and police the global
marketplace and to promote the establishment of
multinational treaties to govern the global business
system.
GATT: General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
WTO: World Trade Organization.IMF: International Monetary Fund
The World Bank, UN: United Nations.

1995.
The original GATT (GATT 1947) is still in effect under the
WTO framework.

Drivers of Globalization
Declining trade and investment barriers
International trade: occurs when a firm exports goods or
services to consumers in another country.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI): occurs when a firm
invests resources in business activities outside its home
country.

Countries erected formidable barriers to international trade
and FDI through high tariffs on imports of manufactured
goods in order to protect domestic industries from
foreign competition.
Countries raised trade barriers against each other and
ultimately this depressed world demand and contributedto the Great Depression of the 1930s.
After WW2, nations committed to remove the barriers.Average tariff rates have fallen significantly since 1950 and
now stand at about 4% (manufactured goods).
Average agricultural tariffs rates are still high40%.

Countries have also been removing restrictions to FDI.
94% of the 2,266 changes made worldwide between 1992and 2005 in the laws governing FDI created a more
favorable environment for FDI.
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of
bilateral investment treaties designed to protect and
promote investment between two countries.
As of 2005, 2,495 treaties involved more than 160
countries, 12-fold increase from the 181 treaties in 1980.

Such trends have been driving both the globalization of
markets and the globalization of production.
Firms can now view the world as one large market.
Base production at the best location (resources).
Design in one country, produce parts in a few countries,
assemble in another country and then market or export
the finished product around the world.
Firms are able to reduce production costs and increase
product quality. Economies are becoming intertwined, countries are
becoming dependant on each other for goods and
services.

Firms are also finding their home markets under attack from
foreign competitors.
In JapanKodak, Proctor & Gamble.
In USAJapanese cars have taken market share away from
General Motors and Ford.
In EuropePhilips now shares the market of consumer
electronics industry with JVC, Matsushita, Sony, Samsung,
LG.
Intensity of competition is increasing.
Therefore, demands for protection from foreign competitors
are still often heard in countries around the world.

Implications for the Globalization of Production
Firms can create and manage globally dispersedproduction system.
Dell holds only 3 days worth of inventory at its
assembly locations.
Its internet based system records orders, then immediately
transmits orders for components to various suppliers
worldwide, who can have a real-time look at Dells order flow
and can adjust their production schedules accordingly.
Air transportation to speed up delivery, modern communication
technology to outsource customer service operations to India.

Implications for the Globalization of Markets
Low-cost transportation has made shipping productsaround the world more economical, thereby helping
to create global markets.
Roses grown in Ecuador can be sold in New York 2
days later while they are still fresh.
This has given rise to an industry in Ecuador that didnot exist 20 years ago and that now supplies a global
market for roses.

Low cost travel has resulted in the mass movement of
people between countries, reducing cultural distance and
bringing convergence of consumer tastes and preferences.
Global media creating a global cultureemergence of
global markets for consumer products.
But still significant national differences remain in culture,
consumer preferences and business practices.
When internationalizing, firms must be aware of suchcultural differences

By the eve of Hu's funeral, 100,000 people had gathered
at Tiananmen Square.
The movement lasted seven weeks after Hu's death on
15 April. In early June, the People's Liberation Army
moved into the streets of Beijing with troops and
tanks and cleared the square with live fire.
Some of the early estimates were based on reports of a
figure of 2,600 from the Chinese Red Cross. Theofficial Chinese government figure is 241 dead,
including soldiers, and 7,000 wounded.
