Description:

As more companies expand globally their consulting partners also expland their territories.

Enablers:

  • Human Capital (i.e. Immigration, Migration, Emigration, Deportation, etc.)
  • Financial Capital (i.e. Aid, Equity, Debt, Credit & Lending, etc.)
  • Resource Capital (i.e. Energy, Metals, Minerals, Lumber, etc.)
  • Power Capital (i.e. Security Forces, Alliances, Armed Forces, etc.)
  • Information and Communication technology which has connected the world
  • Increasing participation of China and India in the global markets
  • Decreasing power of communism
  • Increasing power and number of global companies.
  • Increasing demand for education
  • Free press
  • New unions between companies
  • Increasing use of communication technologies
  • Global Warming and other threats

Inhibitors:

  • Financial Crisis
  • Increase in Tariffs
  • Increasing immigration restrictions
  • Religion, especialy increasing difference between islamic and non-islamic countries.
  • Pandemic disease
  • Cultural differences
  • Diminishing of SMEs
  • Law regulations differences
  • Wars, terrorism, etc.

Paradigms:

The new unifications of governments, companies, and people throughout the world makes the flow of shared information much bigger. This and the lack of restrictions lead to interventions into the private person’s life.

Products from America can be bought in Europe and vice versa. Culture, food, clothingstyles from Asia can be found in the West and vice versa. The internet is the digital marketplace where almost everything from everywhere can be traded. This kind of globalisation needs global standard regulations and rules. Also different companies having different or even contradicting rules and regulations for trading or doing business, which leads to unharmonised understanding.

Timing:

  • World War 1: The "First Era of Globalization"
  • Late 1920s and early 1930s: the crisis of the gold standars. Countries that engaged in this era of globalization, including the European core, some of the European periphery and various European offshoots in the Americas and Oceania, prospered. Inequality between those states fell, as goods, capital and labour flowed remarkably freely between nations.
  • World War II: trade negotiation rounds, originally under the auspices of GATT, which led to a series of agreements to remove restrictions on "free trade".
  • Development of all new technologies (aeroplanes, computer & internet, photo/ video cameras…)
  • Establishment of International Organizations
