The Era of Globalization International has boomed in the last decade as such experts believe we are living in an era of globalization. Thomas Friedman suggested that globalization can be defined as “the inexorable integration of markets, nation states and technologies in a way that is enabling individual’s corporations and nation states to reach around the world further, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before.”

Contemporary Cause of Globalization The growth in IB has been very clear and dramatic in recent years mainly for 2 reasons. Strategic imperatives These motivate globalization and environmental changes such as opportunity to leverage core competencies (advantage distinct to company) that a firm has developed in home market so as to increase revenue and profits. Other reasons may be to acquire resources e.g. raw materials labour capital or even technology.

Strategic imperatives Seeking new markets When a firms domestic market matures sales decline so new market allow sales growth Competition Businesses sometimes enter new markets to compete with rivals to prevent them gaining competitive advantage. Environmental Causes Improved communication technology Improved transport methods Improved information processing
