How do global factors influence the economy in your country? The global economy has impacted the US in a number of ways. The most known impact of the global economy has been on manufacturing in the US. The US has lost huge numbers of manufacturing jobs because these jobs can be done much more cheaply in other countries where workers do not get paid as much as American workers do. The good things is that the global economy helps US consumers by allowing us to get the things we want for less money because they can be made more cheaply in other countries.
Thus, this results in more access to capital, technology, cheaper imports and larger exports markets. This globalization opens access for local business to international production networks and supply chains which are the main channels of trade, therefore this result in an increase in GDP and employment. However, globalization many have a negative impact along with its positive impact as global companies main focus is to maximize profits without regarding the development needs of developing countries. Globalization also results in loss if cultural uniqueness in favor of a universal culture which is drawn heavily from American culture. Developing countries have weak financial institutions therefore due to globalization the volume of capital flows increase which increases the risk of banking and currency

Globalization has had an impact on just about everywhere in the world, whether it be positive or negative. There have been many benefits and good things that have come out of this international movement. We have more goods, we are more connected, things are easier to do, goods are cheaper, and life values and conditions have improved, but what about the people who don't have access to these benefits? What about the people we don't talk about, the ones who make those cheap goods? For some, many negatives have come out of globalization, like decreased living conditions and isolation, even if in our eyes it seems all good and like we couldn't live without it.
As a result, Canada lost millions of jobs and a trade war with China ensued. Because it pits nations against each other to protect their economies, globalization is bad for the world
When introduced to U.S. products and forced to accept them into their daily lives, it gives the U.S. another distinct advantage. Consumerism. Foreign citizens begin to grow attached to these U.S. products and when they have no need to receive them through aid any longer, they look elsewhere to find them.

2. Main causes and drivers of globalization The treaty of Westphalia in 1648, has been known to be the beginning of the system of sovereign states. Unlike the previous treaties, the treaty of Westphalia drew up a list of core principles, which re-defined the conception of the state; territories were defined, and the lands uninfringeable. Supremacy of the nation-state became accepted as the norm and hence allowed growth of international relations (Pant, 2011).
In the early 21st century, those living in the developed world encounter the effects of globalisation on a daily basis. On a most basic level, from the Internet to the food that is consumed, it is possible to instantly access a different part of the world. Globalisation has also affected lives in ways that are not instantly obvious – views, beliefs and attitudes shaped by globalisation have changed how the world is perceived. Globalisation is different in the 21st century to how it was in the 20th century, and though the most underlying difference is the rapid development of technology, there are subtle ways in which it has changed – and ways in which it has not changed at all.
The founding of WTO in 1995 increased the conflict between economic globalisation and the protection of social norms until now because of WTO aims at further trade liberalisations. While there is no universally agreed definition of globalization, economists typically use the term to refer to international integration in commodity, capital and labour markets. There are many impacts that existed after the introducing of WTO. Firstly, the globalisation has changed the way of economic nowadays.
MINI REPORT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GLOBALISATION GREATER THAN THE DRAWBACKS?

The aim of this assessment is to reflect on what I have learned this semester regarding the module of Business in Global Context; from the lectures with the professor, the case studies done in class and the three previous patchworks that we worked on. We have learned that there are different internal and external components that affect the business environment, from corporate social responsibility to cultural and institutional framework; organizations must take into consideration all the factors related to the different parts of its environment.

Through globalization, people around the world share information as well as goods and services. As a result of globalization, consumers around the world enjoy a broader selection of products than they would have if they only had access to domestically made products. International trade has stimulated tremendous economic growth across the globe-creating jobs and reducing price. As globalization accelerates change in technology, more jobs are created and as a result more people are employed thus increasing their purchasing power. As the demand of consumers rise, more and more products are produced to suit the needs and wants of the people.
