# Business Considerations from Globalisation

Business: AQA A Level (2023 Specification), topic 4.6.1

## International Businesses and Globalisation

Aside from global production networks, Transnational Corporations help globalisation to spread and also take advantage of the economic liberalisation that has come with globalisation.

### Glocalisation (a word made by combining globalisation & localization)

![Glocalisation (a word made by combining globalisation & localization)](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/41754e70-8aee-49e8-8199-d36e33a8e479/shutterstock_120162430.jpg)

- TNCs use glocalisation to help spread globalisation. This means that they adapt their products to the needs of local consumers. 
- For example, lots of global food TNCs offer a different menu in India where beef is not eaten. 
 - Since 2012, McDonald’s has served the McVeggie and McSpicy Paneer in India.

### Glocalisation reflecting laws

![Glocalisation reflecting laws](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/4.2.3%20Electromotive-force/drive-min.jpg)

- Sometimes, glocalisation reflects the different laws in different countries. 
- For example, BMW makes right-hand drive cars for the UK because we drive on the left whereas, in Germany, cars are left-hand drive.

### Development of new markets

![Development of new markets](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/53163e3d-61be-4747-89c3-c7a7586b6b45/diamond-rings-expensive.jpg)

- TNCs use the development of new markets to benefit from glocalisation.
- As countries develop and their populations have higher disposable incomes to spend on ‘luxury’ items, TNCs are able to access new markets and sell their products in these countries.

### Economic liberalisation

![Economic liberalisation](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-07/423dbff4-848f-43f6-934b-ce8dde8c95c9/Internet-World-Computer-Networks-Wireless-.jpg)

- TNCs take advantage of economic liberalisation. They take advantage of the removal of barriers to trade to earn more profit and increase their market share. 
- TNCs use outsourcing and offshoring to make sure that they are able to maximise their profits by minimising the costs of producing their goods.

## World Trade Case Studies

World trade can be examined by looking at trade for a manufactured good (e.g. cars) and trade for a food commodity (e.g. bananas).

### Cars

![Cars](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/6251f4b7-fc5c-4464-b64d-f102370fdba1/shutterstock_227900236.jpg)

- During 2016, global car exports amounted to over US$720 billion.
- World production of cars is dominated by huge TNCs, based in the USA, Germany, Japan and South Korea.
- The main importers and exporters of cars are all developed countries (Europe, USA) or emerging economies (India, China, middle eastern countries).
 - The leading importer is the USA.
 - The leading exporter is Germany.
- The bulk of world trade in cars is between rich countries where people have high disposable incomes.
- China and India are major producers of cars, but do not export significant amounts.

### Bananas

![Bananas](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-05/12204ecd-bdb3-43d4-af4e-9284dbf75f4c/shutterstock_518328943.jpg)

- Bananas are mainly grown within the tropics and production is centred on Latin America (80% of exports), West Africa and parts of Asia.
- Other producers include Asian countries (e.g. the Philippines) and west African countries (e.g. Cote d’Ivoire).
- Production is dominated by large American TNCs (e.g. Chiquita and Del Monte)
- Some production is sold directly to supermarkets.
- Organic and Fairtrade produce is sold at a higher price.
- The largest importers are the EU countries and the USA.

## Test yourself on Business Considerations from Globalisation

- TNCs use glocalisation to help spread globalisation. What does glocalisation mean?
- What is an example of a TNC adapting their goods to local consumers?
- Which country is the leading importer of cars worldwide?
- Which countries are major producers of cars, but do not export very many?
