The Impact Of Globalisation And The Role Of Transnational Corporations
Overzicht
The trainers on your feet may have been designed in the United States, stitched in Vietnam, made from rubber tapped in Malaysia and sold to you through a website hosted on a server in Ireland. That single product is globalisation in miniature: the world wired together so tightly that goods, money, people and ideas cross borders as never before. At the centre of this web sit the transnational corporations, firms so large that a few of them out-earn entire countries.
In this lesson you will learn what globalisation means and what drives it, how a transnational corporation organises production across many countries, and how to weigh the real benefits and genuine costs that a TNC such as Nike brings to the places where it locates, using a named country as your worked example.
