Answer:

- Multinational corporations operate on a global scale, with satellite offices and branches in numerous locations. This means multinational companies can stay open virtually 24 hours a day and service customers no matter where they're located.
- Outsourcing can add to the economic development of a struggling country, bringing much needed jobs. If a powerful organization is able to outsource its call center to a developing country, that creates a new class of jobs for people who may not have had that opportunity otherwise.
- Some automobiles use parts from other countries. A car being assembled in the United States may import parts from Japan, Germany, or Korea. This creates a whole new avenue for trade, when the United States has to pay for certain parts from around the world, wait for them to be shipped, and then resume localized production.
- The European Union is an economic and political union of 28 countries. When you consider the resources that these countries can pool together, it can be said that they stand stronger. Immigrating from one country to another is easier, currencies are more easily exchanged, and tourism is encouraged.
- Consider how one shirt sold in the United States might have been made from Chinese cotton by workers in Thailand. From there, that same shirt may have been shipped on a French freighter that hosted a Spanish crew. Now, people from four different countries have had a hand in the production process before the shirt arrives in a fifth country to be put on sale.

Globalization has made migration much easier through better communications, dissemination of information through mass media and improved transport, among others. It is the increasing trade and investment flows in many regions, which facilitated interest and awareness in migration.

I’ve worked in and with many faith-based organizations over the years and have long argued that development organizations can’t afford to be blind to the importance of faith. Research shows that people living in poverty trust their churches more than any other institution, and faiths are vital in forging the attitudes and beliefs that underpin (for good or ill) the daily life of society. Moreover, the world is becoming more, not less religious – secular Europe (at least at elite level) is the one region that is out of step.

In networks, cooperation trumps collaboration. Collaboration happens around some kind of plan or structure, while cooperation presumes the freedom of individuals to join and participate. Cooperation is a driver of creativity. ... cooperation means 'sharing'.
5)
The principle of working together with your team should underpin how you operate. Managing people doesn't just mean acting as overseer, to see that they get their work done satisfactorily. It means involving people throughout the team in a creative role, to ensure that together you are all able to succeed.
