GLOBALIZATION

Globalization is a process of interaction among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, it is also the spread of economic, political, and cultural systems across the globe. Globalization can have some advantages such economic growth, prosperity, and democratic freedom, Nevertheless, their can be many disadvantages….

Advantages of Globalization

The globalization has sevaral advantages on the economic, cultural, social and some other fronts,it helps to reduce poverty and increase living standards as well as encourage a better cultural understanding.

  • Economical advantages of Globalization

It is known that globalization increases the economic prosperity and opportunity in the developing world; In the 21th century, there is a worldwide market for the companies, and for the people, there is more access to products comming from different countries.

In the economy, there is a rising cash flow into the developing countries, which decreases the dollar difference. because these companies are known in a world wide network which then increases the amount of international clients. This increase causes the country to be economically developed.

Due to the worldwide market, there is also an increase in the production and there are lots of options for the companies now. Such as to make products suitable for the country where the company is situated. For example, in Morocco, Mc Donalds have made a special sandwich to satisfy the consumer’s tastes, for example : They made the Mc Arabia that is composed by the moroccan spices rather than United States. This process is really advantageous because it can influence other globalized companies to make products that are suitable to the area of sale. Therefore, the countries have to consider globalization as a way to « THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL »

People around the globe are more connected to each other. Goods and services that were once produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts of the world. International travel is more frequent which allows better communication among company owners and the different employees of different backgrounds and ethnic groups.

  • Social and cultural advantages of Globalization

Socially, with Globalization, we became more open and tolerant towards each other, and people became less racist, because they have understood that foreigners can give the countries an added value.
Globalization leads to better cultural understanding and tolerance. Because of improvements in airplane companies, more and more people are traveling to different countries, therefore they spread their culture to other parts of the world.

Disadvantages of Globalization


Today, Europeans are losing jobs and that is causing problems for them, since the companies are outsourcing work to the Asian countries because the cost of labor is low and profits the company are higher.

Another major damage of globalization is that some cultures are getting lost. The cultures of the countries that have more economic power are more dominant than others. Because, wealthy countries produce many things that can affect cultures, for example, clothes, movies and technologic products, as a result, the true meaning and culture of this country will disappear .

Buy the Car, Save the World


Name: Benk&Srondy Corporation
Products of Company: Benkondy electrical motors
Horizontal Nature of the Company: There will be a store of these cars in the 3 most polluted cities New York City, Beijing, and Berlin. There will be one very big factory in Beijing since it is cheap, big, the labor force is very low and there are qualified workers. This factory will make all the cars completely that will be exported to the stores in New York and Berlin.
Energy (Explain where each segment gets its energy whether for offices or manufacturing): New York City and Berlin will get the cars from Beijing that will be imported directly from car dealers.
Raw Materials-Resources: It includes an electric motor to provide all of the power to the wheels, as well as batteries to supply the motor with electricity. Then you have a completely separate gasoline engine powering a generator. The engine is very small -- perhaps 10 to 20 horsepower -- and it is designed to run at just one speed for maximum efficiency. The purpose of this small, efficient engine is to provide enough power for the car at its cruising speed. During times of acceleration, the batteries provide the extra power necessary.

Labor (who will be your workers at each location-what is your payment plan- what is your healthcare plan if you have one, etc.): For the workers in Beijing and Berlin, will be paid by a transfer to their bank account as well as for the workers in United States. Workers will be engaged in their own country however, 5 trustworthy men are going to travel every month to these two cities to be able to see what is happening.

Government and Regulations (how will you work with the government and its regulations upon you): The cars will be made in order to keep the world clean and unpolluted, therefore less petroleum will be consumed by cars and more electricity. These cars will allow the government to use the petroleum for other resources that do not involve cars.

Business Plan:

The product that i want to sell is an ecological car that runs with electricity during a time of 1000 km. The car will contain recyclable materials. The innovation is that it will be able to run at 160 km/h rather than 80 km/h. Many ranges will be proposed for the ecological cars. The high range cars, the medium range cars, and low range cars.
We have made many studies of market on the countries that are really polluted such as Beijing, Berlin, and New York. 80% ofthe answers we got on the ecological cars were positive. We made a prototype with the the same characteristics respectcing the technique and international qualities in order for the product to be commercialised in the world.
A team that have worked on ecological cars has been consulted and are capable to work with us in collaboration with car designers and qualified engineerers.
We have come into contact with the head of green peace and they have accepted to finance 50% of the project in order to decrease the pollution in teh world. For the marketing strategy we will use these criterias below
We will make three ranges of cars:
Normal Range: For the majority of the population
High Range: For the Chief Companies.
Finally cars without license for the teenagers to be able to learn how to drive.
There will be a loss of price since there will be no more gasoline to pay.
The car cost 60 000 dollars and one place car 4 000 dollars.
The car chaine will be produced in different countries since the labor force is low and it is the ideal time to have ecological cars because of the pollution.
Concerning the communication , there will be tv channels that will diffuse the advertisement of the car. In the serving stations we will have some batteries to power the cars as well as areas in the highway for the car power.

With the money i will obtain from these cars i will try to expand the market of these cars and import the cars in different countries. I make at least two stores in every continent and two big factories in the world. One that will be in Beijing and one in Morocco because of the low labor force and Morocco has a very good geographical setting which means it is near to Europe and America. When the car industry will start to work automatically, i will try to invest in better ways to increase industrial pollution. I will try to provide better chemicals of work than fossil fuels and harmful chemical that are bad to the oceans. Then i will make electrical buses for countries that are really polluted and these buses will have the same process as the cars only the distance it travels will decrease because of lack of power. The way the buses are going to get powered is that the stop will finish it work lain after 45 minutes and it will get powered during a 4 hour delay. Therefore some buses will be used for the day and some for the night.
