Globalisation
Muhtasari
Open the back of a phone and you are holding a map of the world. The design was done in one country, the screen made in another, the memory chips in a third, the metal cases pressed in a fourth, and the whole thing assembled in a fifth before being sold in a hundred and fifty more. No single country could make that phone as cheaply, and no single country tries.
That is globalisation, and this lesson is about what it means for a business rather than for a country. You will learn the forms globalisation takes, from countries specialising in what they do relatively cheaply to labour and firms moving across borders. You will weigh the benefits and drawbacks for businesses in developed and in developing economies, which are not the same. And you will learn the single most examinable piece of arithmetic-free reasoning in the whole specification: what happens to a business that imports or exports when the exchange rate moves, and why a currency that swings wildly is a problem even when it ends up back where it started.
