scientists, the term development refers to processes of change involving the nature and composition of the economy of a particular region, as well as to increases in the overall prosperity of a region (Knox, Marston & Nash 2004).

Economic Structure Primary economic activity
Closest contact with natural resources (farming, mining, fishing, forestry)
Secondary: value added (manufacturing) Tertiary: services for primary or secondary
(teaching, designing, advertising, selling, etc.)
Quaternary: information-based services; research and ICT
Geographical divisions of labor; global assembly line; international trading blocs; global offices; global tourism

Economic geographies in a globalizing world
Labor has moved from individual homes (cottage industry) to factories to offices to telecommunications
There has been a large migration from rural to urban areas
Industrialized countries now export labor intensive work to developing nations
Trade alliances have grown in number Specialization of production has grown;
global division of labor

Economic geographies in a globalizing world
Financial service networks and international banks have increased
Products have become internationally assembled instead of everything being made in one location. (ex. vehicles, electronics) – global assembly line
Modern transportation networks that allow for rapid and efficient exchange of goods and services (ex. Federal Express, UPS, US Postal Service) have grown
Widespread marketing of products has increased (ex. Fuji, Nike, etc)

How do you think you would feel about their use if you were a resident of one of the world’s poor countries?
