What is globalization?
National economies- relatively self contained economies, isolated from each other by barriers to trade, investment; by distance time zones and language Globalization- the shift to a more interdependent and more integrated world economy
Globalization-twin dimensions
Globalization of production-the sourcing of goods and services from locations around the globe to take advantage of national differences in the cost, quality and availability of the factors of production Globalization of markets-the merging of historically distinct and separate national markets into a single integrated global market place.
Drivers of globalization

Globalisation
Do we have a choice not to globalise? Can a firm decide to have two levels of qualityfor the domestic and global market? So long as consumers have a choice of getting their product from anywhere, firms have no option but to globalise their thinking. Two levels of product is not sustainable!!

Two vectors shape the world - technology and globalization. The first helps determine human preferences; the second, economic realities. Regardless of how much preferences evolve and diverge, they also gradually converge and form markets where economies of scale lead to reduction of costs and prices.

Joseph Stiglitz
Professor of Economics, Columbia University Nobel prize in Economics (2001)
Joseph Stiglitz
Making globalization work (2006) argues that argues that through tariffs, subsidies, an over-complex patent system and pollution, the world is being both economically and politically destabilised. Stiglitz argues that strong, transparent institutions are needed to address these problems Globalization and its discontents (2002) argues that bitterly that the IMF has done great damage through the economic policies it has prescribed that countries must follow in order to qualify for IMF loans. The organization and its officials, he argues, have ignored the implications of incomplete information, inadequate markets, and unworkable institutionsall of which are especially characteristic of newly developing countries.
