"who's afraid of globalization ? " -Suzanne Berger

A more concrete definition of globalisation is the acceleration of the processes in the international economy and in domestic economies that opeate toward unifying world markets.

A majority of Americans and Europeans thinks globalization raises theier standard of living ; a majority also believe that it is bad for employment and job security.

For the questons about who winds and who loses in the new global economy, there is no one right and answer.. When we disocered that there were different solutions to the same economic challengers, and found that a number of these solutions are about equally likely to produce success in the market place, we realised we could no longer fall back on " globalization " as an all-purpose explanation. Dell, the American computer compnay that focuses its own organisation on the distribution and outsources al the manufacturing of composents oversaesa, is a reapidly growing proficable business - bu so is Samsung, a vertically integrated electronics company that makes almost everything under its own roof.

FFM is strugling to survive in economies with high - wage labour. Toyota, whih keeps much of its porocution at home or in other advanced countries, is thriving. Most american apparel retailers outsource all their puducton , but the fasterest ghrowing retailer in riech countries is Zara, a Spanish company that makes more than half its clothing at home.
