4.2.1 Global Drivers of Globalization - Technological Change
1. Microprocessors and Telecommunications- lower the real costs in information processing
and communication and facilitate global dispersion
2. Transportation Technology- lower costs & transit times due to
containerization
3. Internet and World Wide Web- information backbone of the global
economy
4. Production, Packaging and distribution processes- Machines have increased speed, reliability,
energy efficiency, product shelf life
![Page 52: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
4.2.2 Implications of Technological Change
• Lower costs of transportation and information processing has facilitated the dispersion of production to geographically separate locations and the growth in international trade in services
• Technological innovations have facilitated the globalization of markets

4.9 Global Economy of the 21st Century?
• Recently, we have seen the : changing demographics of the global economy removal of trade and investment barriers
• Resulting in national economies integrating into a more interdependent, global economy
• However, it is hazardous to use current trends to predict the future
• The world may be moving towards a The world may be moving towards a more global economic system, but more global economic system, but globalization in not inevitableglobalization in not inevitable

good thing?

5.1 Globalization Debate: The Pro’s
• Improves the efficiency of production
• Lowers the prices for goods and services
• Stimulates economic growth and job creation
• Raises consumer income and prosperity levels
• Rising income levels lead to demands for greater environmental protection (Grossman & Kruger)

Limits national sovereignty
Facilitates cultural imperialism
Destroys manufacturing jobs in wealthy countries
Lowers wage rates of unskilled workers in wealthy, advanced countries
Shifts manufacturing to countries with fewer labor and environmental regulations

Costs of GlobalizationCosts of Globalization
Offshoring involves the transferring of production abroad
– it can be beneficial because it reduces costs
– but, it also means that jobs move abroad Yet, offshoring may also create new, better jobs at home

development
Requiring firms to vary practices across nations

5.8 Management Challenges in the Global Marketplace
Range of problems confronted in an international business is wider and the problems more complex than those in a domestic business
Firms have to find ways to work within the limits imposed by government intervention in the international trade and investment system
International business transactions involve converting money into different currencies

Why External Analysis?
External analysis allows firms to:
• discover threats and opportunities
• see if above normal profits are likely in an industry
• better understand the nature of competition inan industry
• make more informed strategic choices

Porter’s Five Forces Model
1. Threat of Entry1. Threat of Entry• if firms can easily enter the industry, any above
normal profits will be bid away quickly
• barriers to entry lower the threat of entry
• barriers to entry make an industry more attractive
• this is true whether the focal firm isalready in the industry or thinking aboutentering
![Page 91: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Porter’s Five Forces Model
1. Threat of Entry1. Threat of EntryBarriers to Entry:
• economies of scale—firm that can’t producethe minimum efficient scale will be at a disadvantage
• product differentiation—entrants are forced toovercome customer loyalties to existing products
• cost advantages independent of scale—incumbentsmay have learning advantages, etc.
• government policies—governments may imposetrade restrictions and/or grant monopolies
![Page 92: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

Porter’s Five Forces Model
2. Threat of Rivalry2. Threat of Rivalry• high rivalry means firms compete vigorously—and
compete away above average profits
Industry conditions that facilitate rivalry:
• large numbers of competitors
• slow or declining growth
• high fixed costs and/or high storage costs
• low product differentiation
• industry capacity added in large increments
![Page 94: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Porter’s Five Forces Model
3. Threat of Substitutes3. Threat of Substitutes• substitutes fill the same need but in a different way
- Coke and Pepsi are rivals, milk is asubstitute for both
• substitutes create a price ceiling because consumersswitch to the substitute if prices rise
• substitutes will likely come from outside theindustry—be sure to look

Porter’s Five Forces Model
4. Threat of Powerful Suppliers
• powerful suppliers can ‘squeeze’ (lower profits)the focal firm
Industry conditions that facilitate supplier power:
• small number of firms in supplier’s industry
• highly differentiated product
• lack of close substitutes for suppliers’ products
• supplier could integrate forward
• focal firm is an insignificant customer of supplier
![Page 96: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Porter’s Five Forces Model
5. Threat of Powerful Buyers• powerful buyers can ‘squeeze’ (lower profits)
the focal firm by demanding lower prices and/orhigher levels of quality and service
Industry conditions that facilitate buyer power:
• small number of buyers for focal firm’s output
• lack of a differentiated product
• the product is significant to the buyer
![Page 97: Mba1014 global economic environment 200413](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061201/54798abeb4af9fd60e8b47c4/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Porter’s Five Forces Model
5. Threat of Powerful Buyers5. Threat of Powerful Buyers
Industry conditions that facilitate buyer power:
• buyers operate in a competitive market—they arenot earning above normal profits
• buyers can vertically integrate backwards
• many small buyers can be united around an issueto act as a block
Example: Monsanto’s Life Sciences Strategy

Complementors Increase the Value of the Firm’s Product
• customers perceive more value in the focal firm’sproduct when it is combined with the complementor’sproduct
• complementors may be found outside the focal firm’sindustry
Example: Goodyear Tires on Corvette
