Globalization? subject for Economic 5 marks
Answers
Answer:
Globalisation has been taking place for hundreds of years, but has sped up enormously over the last half-century.
Globalisation has resulted in:
increased international trade
a company operating in more than one country
greater dependence on the global economy
freer movement of capital, goods, and services
recognition of companies such as McDonalds and Starbucks in LEDCs
Although globalisation is probably helping to create more wealth in developing countries - it is not helping to close the gap between the world's poorest countries and the world's richest.

Globalization is the process by which ideas, goods and services spread throughout the world. In business, the term is often used in an economic context to describe an integrated economy marked by free trade, the free flow of capital and corporate use of foreign labor markets to maximize returns and benefit the common good.
