So…What is globalisation?

• Self assess your answers:

• Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services. The biggest companies are no longer national firms but multinational corporations with subsidiaries in many countries.

• Globalisation has been taking place for hundreds of years, but has speeded up enormously over the last half-century.

So…What is globalisation?

Globalisation has resulted in:

• increased international trade • a company operating in more than one country • greater dependence on the global economy • freer movement of capital, goods, and services • recognition of companies such as McDonalds and

Starbucks in LEDCs

• Although globalisation is probably helping to create more wealth in developing countries - it is not helping to close the gap between the world's poorest countries and the world's richest.
