Globalization
Globalization
Is the process through which an
increasingly free flow of ideas, people,
goods, services, technology and capital
leads to the integration of economies
and societies.
Example: advances in information and
computer technologies or IT-based
societies.
The Globalization System
In a published book, “Understanding
Globalization: The Lexus and the Olive Tree”, by
an internationally acclaimed and journalist
Thomas Friedman, asserts that in today’s
world, the individuals have become the
super sparks of power, movers of capital,
drivers of development, and the engines of
growth.
The Globalization System
Globalization is also characterized by a single word:
Web.
Thus, Globalization is an inexorable integration of
markets, nation-states and technologies to a degree
never witnessed before – in a way that enables
individuals, corporation and nation-states to reach
around the world farther, faster, deeper, cheaper
than ever before.
Speed in commerce, travel, communication and
innovation.
The Globalization System
Globalization is a rapid acceleration of the
movement of people from rural areas and
agricultural lifestyles to urban areas and
urban lifestyles more intimately linked with
global fashion, food, markets, and
entertainment trends.

Economic Forum
Said, “ We have moved from a world
where the big eats the small to a world
where the fast eats the slow”.
