GlobalizationEnglish words connected with GLOBALIZATION
Globalization
Globalization: the international integration of goods, technology, labor, and capital.
Globalization is everywhere to be seen.
In any city in any country, Japanese cars, American fast-food restaurants, Chinese clothes, Indian products, fill the streets.
A telephone call can arrange the purchase of flights, hotel rooms, books, cd’s, shares from far-away countries.
Globalization
Local businesses could not function without U.S. computers.
Foreign national companies have taken over large segments of service industries.
Over the past twenty years, foreign trade and the cross-border movement of technology, labor, and capital have been massive and irresistible.
Global Global ManagementManagementGlobal Entrepreneurship
Doing business internationally isn't just for big companies anymore.
Entrepreneurs have to consider the advantages of opportunities abroad.
Globalization
Globalization is just about selling products and services to a connected world market.
It’s not about culture.
A Chinaman is not less Chinese because he wears Nikes an eats McDonald’s
Globalization
As business and the media globalise, and we all eat the same food, wear the same clothes and watch the same films, we are all in danger of becoming the same as everyone else.
Global EducationGlobal EducationHigher education is now international in a way it has not been since the days of Europe's great medieval universities
2m university students—almost 2% of the world's total of 100m—were studying outside their home country in 2003.
In the global market, capital and labour search the world for the best deal.
The same is happening now with students. They are considered as consumers. And like customers everywhere, they are looking for the best deal.
