Defining Globalization
“The inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before—in a way that is enabling individuals, corporations and nation-states to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before.” Thomas Friedman, The Lexus and the Olive Tree

Friends and Neighbors…
Allies vs. enemies; divisions and walls
Everyone is a competitor
Defining Document…
The Treaty—with whom are you aligned?
The Deal—with whom are you doing business?

The “hotline” connecting the two superpower nations
The Internet-- nobody in charge and everyone is connected

How Globalization Impacts the
Labor Market—The Basics• Globalization & new digital technology opens
producer/consumer markets around the world• Increased customer access to producers leads
to global price competition, driving employer need for greater productivity, lower prices
• Increased price competition leads to cost containment pressures
• Cost containments leads employers to new supply chain practices, concerns over labor costs, alternative labor options
Impacts of Globalization on Consumers
• Broader access to a wider variety of products and services than neighborhood offers
• Greater vendor diversity leads to better buying opportunities, lower prices; eg. comparison shopping via Internet
• Lost allegiance to domestic producers; what about the “union label” or U.S. TVs??
• More volatile labor market with stronger competition from global labor supply
Impacts of Globalization on Business
• Businesses with global reach access more customers and get exposed in new markets
• Businesses with regional niche lose local customers to a global market place
• Business is exposed to supply chain opportunities to acquire lower cost inputs
• Business is exposed to new labor supply options; foreign affiliates, H1B, global outsourcing

Industry Growth Potential in a Global
Economy• To whom does the industry sell
and are those sectors expanding?• Is their cost structure
competitive? e.g. are labor costs globally competitive relative to value added?
• Do they have Positive Pricing Power in their marketplace? PPP results in higher profits!
