Quick Study 3
1. Q: What global organizations have helped expand globalization?
A: The 1947 GATT lowered trade barriers and made it cheaper and easier to ship goods across borders. In 1988 world merchandise trade was 20 times larger than in 1947; average tariffs dropped from 40 percent to 5 percent. A 1994 GATT revision created the WTO, which has the power to enforce international trade rules. Goals of the WTO are: (1) to help the free flow of trade, (2) help negotiate further opening of markets, and (3) settle trade disputes. WTO agreements are contracts committing members to fair and open trade policies. The WTO dispute settlement system is the spine of the global trading system. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have also helped expand globalization.
2. Q: What technological innovations are helping to propel globalization?
A: E-mail and videoconferencing speed information flows and ease the tasks of coordination and control. Firms use the Web to sharpen forecasting, lower inventories, and improve communication with suppliers, and to communicate with distant managers quickly, cheaply, and efficiently. The Web also reduces the cost of reaching international customers—important for the competitiveness of small firms. Company intranets allow employees to access information from distant locations to share best practices. Extranets give distributors and suppliers access to a company’s database so they can place orders or restock inventories electronically and automatically. Transportation advancements are facilitating globalization by making shipping more efficient and dependable.

(2) Separate national business environments, including culture and systems of politics, law, and economics.

(4) International business management which involves all the duties of management in a domestic setting, but which are complicated by a multitude of differences.

Practicing International Management Case
MTV Goes Global with a Local Beat
1-16. Q: Some people outside the United States say teens exposed to large doses of U.S. youth culture on MTV will identify less with their own societies and teens in developing countries will want Western goods they cannot afford. MTV’s response: “It’s just fun, it’s only TV,” says one executive. What do you think? Are there dangers in broadcasting U.S.-style programs and ads to developing countries?
A: The debate over the impact of U.S. programming beamed to other developed and developing cultures will likely never cease. The U.S. television program The Simpsons, which depicts a rather unflattering U.S. family, is seen in more than 90 countries. Such a program is unlikely to encourage young people outside the United States to grow up to be like Homer Simpson. Generally, this program and others, such as Married with Children, the Jerry Springer Show, and Baywatch, are watched around the world for a glimpse into the humorous or darker aspects of U.S. culture. On the other hand, local programming can lose out to the U.S. programming if it is not as entertaining.
In regard to desires among young people for more “Western” goods, this is a sensitive issue involving elements of economic development and materialism. It could be argued that it is not ethical to show U.S. programs that depict wealthy lifestyles in developing countries because they promote discontent in those markets and promote materialism. However, there are wealthy and poor people in every nation and, following this line of reasoning, one could argue that such programs should not be aired in the U.S. market either—incidentally, some groups do make this argument.
1-17. Q: Digital compression technology made it possible for MTV to program over a global network. Can you think of other technological innovations that have helped companies to think globally and act locally?
A: Internet retailers such as Amazon make online books in English available globally. However, Amazon also has online service to accommodate those in French- and Spanish-speaking countries. This is a localized approach. The French version of Amazon can further localize its selections by offering books tailored to specific Francophone regions such as Africa and Canada, not just France. Clearly, Amazon can continue to localize by selecting other languages where significant numbers of readers are.
