I s it the end of globalization as we know it?

At first, it seems like a small thing. Reuters reports this morning that the Europe-

an Union is weighing whether to start requiring visas from Canadian and US visi-

tors to the region.

This would be an incredibly shortsighted thing to do, given the lucrative tourist

trade based on North Americans traveling to the continent. And it likely won’t

happen.

But its mere discussion—a response to the US visa requirements for visitors from poorer

parts of the EU such as Romania, Poland, and Bulgaria—underscores the very real

backlash against pro-globalization economic ideology of the last 25 years.

In many senses, they’re foundering on a particularly tricky bit of globalization that is now

a snag between the EU and the US: The flow of people.

complaints about an influx of eastern Europeans in the UK, now fueling the push

for Brexit.

It’s legitimate and natural for people to be concerned about the free flow of people

in light of a string of attacks (see San Bernardino, Paris, Brussels) tied to terrorists

who either came from other countries or crossed borders in order to train or plan

with terrorist groups. And studies have long found that when it comes to the for-

mation of anti-immigrant sentiment, noneconomic concerns are more influen-

tial than pocketbook worries such as the effect of immigration on wages.

There are still economic factors at work, though. And the failure of globalization to

generate real gains for a majority of the population in rich nations comes alongside

the anxiety that’s now being expressed in opposition to both immigration and other

elements of free-trade focused ideology.

It’s only now, in the aftermath of all that globalization and its failure to produce the

benefits sold to voters in relatively affluent nations, that we’re seeing the backlash.

That doesn’t mean a Trump presidency is a foregone conclusion. But unless glob-

alization starts delivering real, recognizable benefits for voters in rich nations, the

next generation will likely inherit a world with many more walls.

The movements of peo-

ple in recent decades

has pushed the political

limits of globalization in

the rich world. The evi-

dence is everywhere.

It’s in Donald J. Trump’s

ugly comments about

Mexican immigrants

and his promises to

build an impregnable

wall between the US

and its southern neigh-

bor. It’s manifest in the

The inevitable transition from gasoline engines to electric

cars and eventually to fuel cell vehicles is somewhat hard

to forecast, which is why automakers seem to be offer-

ing something for everyone, while striving to meet federal

emissions regulations.

Honda's Alternative Trifecta: Clarity Will Be First Car To

Offer Fuel Cell, Plug-In And Battery-Powered Versions

Honda Motor said Wednesday its Clarify Fuel Cell, which

goes on sale later this year, will also be offered in a battery-

powered version and as a plug-in hybrid in 2017.

"The Clarity series will occupy a unique position in the mar-

ket, providing customers with a well-equipped, premium,

midsize vehicle with a range of ultra-low-carbon powertrain

options to suit their lifestyle needs," said Honda of America

Executive Vice President John Mendel.

"The Clarity is developed,

frankly, in line with all of

our global development for

the first time. Its not taking

an existing model and try-

ing to retrofit (compressed

natural gas) or something

to it," Mendel said.

"So the confidence comes

from ...moving the devel-

opment of this vehicle se-

ries into our mainstream

development cycle."

Republican contender Donald

Trump promised that if he is elected

President, “one of the early things”

he would do is impose punitive tar-

iffs on Ford Motor Company to force

the Dearborn-based automaker to

drop a multi-billion dollar expansion

plan in Mexico which Trump says

will cause job losses.

Donald Trump's Threat To Force Ford To Scrap Expan-

sion Plan In Mexico Very Unlikely Under NAFTA

FORD PRESIDENT AND CEO MARK FIELDS

In announcing his decision to run for President on Tuesday, Trump said he would

call “the head of Ford, who I know” and tell him: “Let me give you the bad news:

every car, every truck and every part manufactured in this plant that comes across

the border, we’re going to charge you a $35 tax—OK?—and that tax is going to be

paid simultaneously with the transaction.”

In April, Ford, whose CEO is Mark Fields, announced a $2.5 billion investment in

two new facilities building a new generation of engines and transmissions in the

Mexican states of Chihuahua (in the north) and Guanajuato (in the north-central

area), respectively. The project will generate 3,800 additional jobs in Mexico.

Trump said he would not give in to the pressure from Ford and

its Washington lobbyists to “please reconsider.” And he predicted that in the end Ford

will have no choice but to roll back plans for the Mexican expansion. “So Ford will

come back,” Trump predicted.

Asked to comment on Trump’s threats, Christin Baker, Ford’s spokesperson, told me

via email: “We are proud that we have invested $6.2 billion in our U.S. plants since

2011 and hired nearly 25,000 U.S. employees. Overall, 80% of our North American in-

vestment annually is in the U.S., and 97% of our North American engineering is con-

ducted in the U.S.”

Republican contender Donald Trump promised that if he is elected President, “one of

the early things” he would do is impose punitive tariffs on Ford Motor F -

0.29% Company to force the Dearborn-based automaker to drop a multi-billion dollar

expansion plan in Mexico which Trump says will cause job losses.

T he Cuban government has begun a full-court press urging U.S. and

American companies to step up economic investment in the island na-

tion.

In one of the first public comments in the U.S. by a top Cuban government official

since President Obama normalized diplomatic relations with Cuba in late

2014,Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz, Cuban minister of foreign trade and investment, on

Tuesday urged Congress to lift the decades-old economic embargo and promised

that U.S. companies eyeing the Caribbean market would not be discriminated

Cuba's looking for investment

“I believe the roads we

have started to walk on

is the right one,” Malm-

ierca Díaz said at a

press conference after a

speech at the U.S.

Chamber of Com-

merce on Tuesday. “No

matter what, we’re go-

ing to maintain the dis-

position to normalize

our relations with the

U.S.”

CUBAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN TRADE AND INVESTMENT,RODRIGO MALMIERCA DIAZ

The U.S. economic embargo on Cuba,

which was imposed in the early

1960s, remains in place, as only an

act of Congress can lift it. But

the Obama administration’s overtures

have triggered loosening of business

and investment restrictions on the

island and have raised hopes for ex-

pansion-minded U.S. compa-

nies tempted by an untapped market

with a reputation for quality educa-

tion and advanced medical and engi-

neering training.

The Treasury and Commerce departments have introduced a series of rule chan-

ges in recent months to encourage U.S. companies to consider investing in Cuba.

And Malmierca Díaz said he plans to hold further talks with government officials for

other rule changes that would accelerate economic investment and to meet with

American business executives.

Cuba needs about $2 billion annually in direct foreign investment to maintain its

goal of raising its GDP by 5%, he said. Reflecting Cuba’s eagerness to intercon-

nect further with the global economy, Malmierca Díaz said its view of foreign in-

vestment has shifted from a few years ago when it was merely considered a

“complement” to domestic spending and “not important.”

Malmierca Díaz said some delays may occur as American companies negotiate

with their Cuban partners, but he affirmed that the Cuban government "was not

creating more barriers."

Nordstrom eliminating up to 400 jobs in cost-cutting

move

Nordstrom will eliminate between 350 and 400 jobs in pursuit of a leaner business

model and about $60 million in cost savings, the retailer said Monday.

Affected positions will primarily be from the company's corporate office and regio-

nal support teams and the changes are expected to be completed by the end of

the second quarter. The company will look at getting rid of open unfilled positions

first.

Nordstrom, citing the need to evolve to meet customer demands, said the decision

will help the company achieve more efficiencies within its business. It plans to insti-

tute new operating models across its divisions, including re-evaluating the skills

needed for particular roles and resetting leadership structures.

The announcement makes Nordstrom, based in Seattle, the latest retailer to un-

dergo cost-cutting measures in order to keep up with the rapid change of pace in

the industry. Earlier this year, Walmart said it would close 154 stores in the U.S,

affecting roughly 10,000 employees. And that news came shortly after Macy's said

it would close 36 stores and eliminate more than 4,500 positions.

"We see opportunities to create a more efficient and agile organization that ensures we're best posi-

tioned to achieve our goals," said Blake Nordstrom, the retailer's co-president, in a statement.

CHICAGO—Nabisco, the

maker of the iconic cream-

filled Oreo, has proud-

ly touted itself as the mak-

er of “America’s favorite

cookie.”

But in the midst of a heat-

ed presidential race, the

company—a division of the

global snack behemoth

Mondelez International

that reaped more than $30

billion in revenue last year

Oreo cookie in White House hopefuls' crosshairs

over outsourcing

— finds itself in the crosshairs of three White House hopefuls who have criticized the com-

pany for its plans to lay off hundreds of workers in Chicago as it shifts some North Ameri-

can production to an upgraded plant in Salinas, Mexico.

The company, which also has marketed the Oreo as the “world’s favorite cookie,” will begin

laying off 600 workers at its Chicago bakery on March 21. The cuts come as Mondelez

shifts work to four new cookie and cracker production lines in Mexico, a $130 million invest-

ment expected to be completed by the middle of this year.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and

the Bernie Sanders campaign have

pointed to the move, which the com-

pany says will save it $46 million an-

nually, as emblematic of the prob-

lem of big corporations offshoring of

American jobs.

Pointed criticism of Nabisco by Clinton, Sanders and Trump comes as all three candi-

dates have put greater emphasis on trade issues as they attempt to make their cases

to blue collar workers ahead of Tuesday’s primaries in manufacturing-heavy Illinois and

Ohio. For months, the Republican frontrunner Trump has knocked the decision by the

company, which has baked cookies and crackers at a mammoth facility on Chicago’s

Southwest Side since the early 1950s.

Trump, who once served as pitchman for the Oreo brand, vowed to boycott the cookie

because of the company’s decision.

Sanders recently dispatched Larry Cohen, a campaign adviser and former president of

the Communications Workers of America, to meet with workers and union leaders for

the Chicago plant. And Clinton in recent days singled out Nabisco on the stump when

critiquing corporate America.

In 1993, the company was promised nearly $90 million in tax incentives and subsidies

after it agreed to remain in Chicago and pass up a chance to move to Mexico. The

government incentives won by the food and tobacco giant RJR Nabisco—which was

one of the forerunners to Mondelez—has buttressed the criticism by the Trump, Clinton

and Sanders campaigns.

“You know, when a company decides to leave like Nabisco is leaving and they have

gotten tax benefits from Chicago and Illinois to stay there, I will claw back the benefits,”

Clinton vowed in a debate in Flint, Mich. last week. “They will have to pay them back if

they are leaving a place that actually invested in them.”

Mondelez says the candidates are inaccurately suggesting that they are leaving Chica-

go. The company will still have about 600 workers, about half of the current employee

headcount, at their bakery on the city’s Southwest Side.

The company says that it considered building the new factory lines in Chicago, but opt-

ed not to because of the $46 million cost gap between operating in Chicago and Salin-

as, Mexico.

Oreo and other Nabisco snacks made at the newly-installed factory lines at the Mexico

plant will be sold in the North America market, but the famous cookie will also continue

to be made at U.S. facilities in New Jersey, Oregon and Virginia. Beyond the U.S. and

Mexico, Oreos are also made in 16 other countries for sale in international markets.

The Deerfield, Ill.-based Mondelez said it did not have data on what percentage of

Oreo cookies—which earned $2.5 billion in revenue worldwide for the company in

2014—will be made in Mexico and then sold in the U.S.

“Even if the investment would have been made in Chicago, there would have been an

impact to positions at that bakery,” Guzzinati said. The company would have cut about

300 workers because the new factory lines were more efficient than the current ones

and require fewer workers to operate, she said.

Nate Zeff, an organizer for the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Mil-

lers (BCTGM) International Union, said that the call by Mondelez—which paid $21 mil-

lion to Rosenfeld, the company's CEO, last year— for $46 million in concessions from

workers was seen as a slap in the face.

“It’s going to have a pro-

found effect on the local

economy here,” Zeff

said of the impending

layoffs. “We’re talking

about 600 jobs. (It’s) not

just those 600 families

who are going to be

deeply affected. That’s

millions of dollars that’s

going to be stripped

away from the economy

here.” Leonard Aiello received a layoff notice, terminating his employment as of March 21st, 2016. He works as an

ingredients mixer at the Nabisco plant. (Photo: Tyler Mallory for USA TODAY)

A key issue raised by labor unions in their weeklong strike against Verizon is the off-

shoring of work. The unions say Verizon has plans to send more jobs overseas. Veri-

zon isn't saying what it is doing in this respect, but there is a paper trail of documents

filed by its employees that point to offshoring.

The union contends that Verizon wants, in a labor contract, to shift more jobs to con-

tractors. Nearly 40,000 Verizon workers are on strike.

"They want the ability to contract work -- as much as 50% -- the great majority of that is

offshore," said Marilyn Irwin, president of the Washington area Communications Work-

ers of America Local 2108. CWA is one of the unions involved in the strike.

This complaint is getting attention in the presidential race, including from U.S. Sen.

Bernie Sanders, who is seeking the Democratic nomination.

"They want to outsource decent paying jobs," Sanders said at the Verizon picket line.

Earlier this month, Sanders said Verizon wants to move call center jobs out of the

country to places "where people will be paid pennies an hour."

5 Tips for first-time Managers by Nicole Fallon Taylor

U se existing strengths to meet new expectations. As you move into a management position, you will be orchestrating the work

instead of doing it. The trick will be to pay attention to the expectations of your

new role and to figure out how to put your strengths to work in different ways.

T ransparency is key. As you move into a man-

agement position, you will

be orchestrating the work

instead of doing it. The trick will be to

pay attention to the expectations of

your new role and to figure out how

to put your strengths to work in dif-

ferent ways.

E stablish a strong relationship with your team. One of the biggest mistakes new managers make is failing to develop good

working relationships with their team members, said Gretchen Spreitzer, pro-

fessor of management and organizations at the University of Michigan's Ross

School of Business.

Getting to know your team members and finding out how they're doing, not only in their

careers but in their personal lives, is a great way to create the necessary rapport to work

well as a group, Sprietzer said. Holding regular one-on-one meetings to check in with

your employees can also help you establish good relationships with them.

R ecognize your employees when they do a good job. To truly build a great culture and dynamic among your team, it's important to

give your employees credit when it's due.

"Take time to build recognition into the team culture," Niu said. "Frequent

recognition fosters a positive team environment and creates a culture of gratitude. Don't

just wait until the big wins to recognize team members. For example, thank employees

who took the initiative to clean up after an office party."

A ccept feedback, but

find your own

unique way to lead. New managers who are

leading for the first time should ask

themselves, 'Why would anyone fol-

low me?' It's an easy question to

overlook but one that I think is at

the heart of what it means to be a

leader. Everyone answers the ques-

tion differently, and it's important to

start thinking now about how you

will lead in your own unique way.

Leaders attract followers because

of what they stand for and how they

help their team grow.

This magazine has comprehensively re-

viewed the evidence the Globalization has

brought not only advantages to customers

by providing a large range of imported

products or by raising their standard of liv-

ing, but has also had harsh effects by de-

stroying existing jobs, as well as by dimin-

ishing of local enterprises and culture in

certain countries and much more, too.

However, despite the identification of the risks and opportunities associated with globalization, the

phenomenon is still very difficult to predict. We can gladly make predictions about the future effects

of globalization, but this far, we would unwise to count on them. And in other important topics of

nowadays that talk about in the magazine is NAFTA and the formation of other trading blocs around

the world represent a paradigm shift in the way nations relate to each other through trade -- a para-

digm shift that recognizes the emergence of trade alliances in the global marketplace. It´s a shift that

can’t be ignored. The world is an interdependent place and agreements such as NAFTA will have

economic, political, and social consequences of a scale not heretofore experienced.

Passage of NAFTA was important for Mexico. It facilitated the continuation of economic and political

reforms in Mexico. But what would have happened to Mexico if NAFTA had not been adopted? Sce-

narios included a potential collapse of the Mexican economy, a reversal of economic and structural

reforms, a run on the Mexican currency, a drying up of foreign investment in Mexico, and a national-

ist backlash by the people of Mexico. Castaneda discounts the seriousness of these scenarios and

suggests that the only downside to a defeat of NAFTA would have been damage to the prestige of

former Mexican President Salinas. Interestingly, while NAFTA was passed, it has not prevented the

recent damage to Salinas prestige. Now, the new Mexican President, Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Le-

on, needs a successful NAFTA to persuade voters that the pain of Salinas economic reform program

will have a payoff.

In my opinion, governments should use innovation and research to suc-

cessfully answer to industrial job losses and outsourcing of companies,

as well as maintaining a basic welfare system to help guiding people

towards more qualified jobs .

Furthermore, I would say that companies who outsource should be

made to pay an import duty or higher tax in order to prevent huge cut in

wages of many people’s job.

First, we have to know what management is; can be define as a way of

achieving goals that add the most value. It’s about being sufficiently or-

ganized to identify the right goals and the best means for achieving

them. To take a simple example, whenever you set priorities for yourself

you are managing your time.

Prioritizing means deciding which activities are most likely to achieve a

specific goal and which tasks are the most urgent or important. Man-

agement is thus like investing, a process of allocating resources to ob-

tain the best return, even if those resources are just your own time,

knowledge and experience. Clearly, it is possible for all employees to manage their own time and

other personal resources without occupying a formal managerial role and without managing people.

Then when talking about globalization I think is a good thing at least it helps to make different cul-

tures and countries work together making a possible future of the whole world as one.

Obviously it has a good and bad sides, and that depends on the countries power of accommodation

into the globalized system. the good part is that's been built a strong and single currency and a com-

petitive market place, and the bad side or hardest thing is for countries that have to build a strong

and reliable market to be a part of the globalized system.

For countries that are in a transition, and want to become a part of a globalized economy they have

to build first a strong economy in theirs countries to have a power to accommodate into globaliza-

tion.

Managers magazine has contents about all the business relations that

people want to know, about globalization, does it has and end? Globali-

zation is a process of interaction and integration among the people,

companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by

international trade and investment and aided by information technology.

This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political

systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human

physical well-being in societies around the world.

Globalization is not new though, the failure of globalization to generate real gains for a majority of

the population in rich nations comes alongside the anxiety that’s now being exposed in opposition to

both immigration and other elements of free-trade focused ideology based on Trump’s ideas.

Trump’s threat to force Ford to scrap expansion plan in Mexico very unlikely under NAFTA. The way

he expresses is not very convincing since NAFTA first of all focuses in a treaty between two or

more countries to establish a free trade area where commerce in goods and services can be con-

ducted across their common borders, without tariffs or hindrances. Mark Fields announced an in-

vestment of two facilities building a new generation in Mexico that will generate more than 3,000 ad-

ditional jobs in Mexico.

Talking about these topics and others within the magazine is clearly that even though there are peo-

ple focusing only in making bad decisions or thinking just for herself is not affecting people that know

what they are doing. Talking about how to create a business or make a business go globalize or

even a country grow by making the right decisions and not just basing everything in racism. There

are a lot of opportunities created by companies for people to get a job and make the economy grow.

We know that the changes are going to be more notable in a few years. But it’s excellent to see that

there’s still good people, and we should focus on that to be also a great person and to follow these

leaders to create great ideas to make the world a better place for everyone.

Within the research made in ours first edition Managers Magazine, we

can tell that the world as we know it, is changing. There are several bad

news for the economic trends among the US and the world. We can

start by Trump’s selfish ideas to “make America great again”, I mean,

how does this ideas could make great a country? I think it’s a nonsense

palaver coming of a US presidency contestant.

Globalization has been a fact of life for decades, but how long will it continue in its current form? The

most dramatic (and unlikely) outcome is an outright reversal of current trends, with globalization

trumped by nationalism. It’s happened before. It wasn’t that long after the Industrial Revolution ush-

ered in a long wave of globalization in which European exports surged and more than 60 million Eu-

ropeans migrated to North America that the U.S. and Europe began implementing restrictive tariffs

on trade, and nationalism took hold. World War I ended a 44-year era of globalization.

All of this ideas Trump has, are like walking 1 step forward and 2 steps back, I understand he wants

to make a change but this isn’t the way to do it. Although, he is a master at something that is critical-

ly important in running for president in this large, diverse country: Marketing a product. The product

isn't Mr. Trump, though a confident and inspiring salesman goes a long way in selling your product.

It's a vision of the country not Mr. Trump's vision, but an inchoate image of America astride the world

as in the post-World War II era. This image is powerful because even those who didn't live through

that era have an idea that the country was stronger and life was better then. Policy details are only a

distraction from the hopeful image Mr. Trump is selling and are to be avoided; campaign promises

are merely vague appeals to the individual visions held by supporters. His bravado and self-

confidence reinforce to supporters his ability to make their vision of America a reality and allow them

to minimize his potential personal flaws.

Trump's supporters want that world and that America, that consensus of cultural and economic sup-

port for them, back. They are anti-globalization, anti-interventionism, anti-neoliberal, Old Right, paleo

-conservatives. hey want a flashier, gaudier, less intellectual Pat Buchanan and that's basically what

Trump is.

We live in a time at which the world globalization is well known for most

countries, year after year its reaches new corners and the flow of its

transactions becomes more natural and easy. I personally am a promot-

er of globalization because I truly believe that this movement is pushing

our society to the next level of communication; making everything easi-

er to acquire.

The market keeps getting bigger and more competitive; due to land lim-

its don’t confine us anymore, and all this facilities are mainly

controlled by governments and institutions which search for a diverse and controlled market, when

we put a person which is not in favor of giving the same opportunities to each person or country in a

position of power we have a problem, we must evolve and not flinch to new opportunities, we must

be aware of how many good things may be affected by a change like this.

Since the NAFTA was created the transactions between USA , MEX and Canada increased sub-

stantially, as the foreign direct investment (especially in Mexico) allowing all countries to grow and

seek for better business opportunities.

I don’t see offshoring and outsourcing as a way of “treason” I instead see it as and opportunity for

everyone to compete fairly and in the other hand to gain the best deal.

and also tips to be a successful manager. In a personal point of view globali-

zation is a series of actions by which different countries of the world are uni-

fied into a single society, to form a foundation together.

This term is commonly used to talk about national economies, trade, foreign,

direct investment, capital flows, and also strong problems like migration,

prostitution, violence, and the spread of technology.

Globalization is driven by a combination of economic, because it included the economies of different

countries, by technological factors because it's related with science and industry, by sociocultural

factors because of the interaction of social and cultural elements, by political factors because it’s

concerning with politics, and also it included biological factors because of the different foreign prod-

ucts and operations, in which biology is applied.

When we talk about globalization in a context of economic we refer to the removal of barriers be-

tween developed countries, and less developed countries, in order to facilitate the flow of goods,

that is the movement of money in a country, the capital services, and labor. There are treatments

like NAFTA that makes easier for countries to export and import several types of goods. This maga-

zine has articles about how time is changing for management and also how presidents like Donald

Trump have wrong knowledge about globalization and how they can affect economy and exports/

imports between several countries by applying taxes. This magazine has also article about outsourc-

ing and offshore. Lately the outsourcing of customer service to offshore providers has gotten a lot of

bad press in the United States with reports citing language problems and the exporting of jobs. But,

if this offshoring continues to grow, driven mainly by the lower labor costs overseas. It's hard to

know if companies that send customer service are making a mistake because we can´t know the off-

shoring's actual impact on customer satisfaction. Based in research we made, most cases have a

negative impact, but similar to the effect of outsourcing customer service domestically. That sug-

gests companies shouldn't necessarily forgo the savings they can reap from offshoring. But if they're

going to do it, they'd better do it right.

Finally we have a very useful article about how to be a successful manager by following 5 tips. Now-

adays to be a successful person in a company, or have a successful company you need to have a

good knowledge about management and how to be a manager and also a leader. Being a complete

manager plays a very important role in companies to successfully obtain their objectives as a com-

pany. In conclusion this magazine will inform readers about globalization, country issues, and also

important articles about offshore and outsourcing, and the importance of being a good manager.
