Organizational Behaviour Challenges and Recommendations:

Top 5 Challenges

2. Innovation

3. Globalization

4. Work Stress

3. Globalization Version 1
The act of globalizing i.e., extending to other or all parts of the world.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people,
companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven
by international trade and investment which is aided by information
technology.
According to a research by the Economist Intelligence Unit, companies will
become larger and more global in the next ten years, handling operations in
more countries than they do today.
Despite rapid expansion, they will also be more globally integrated, with
better information flow and collaboration across borders.
Any casual survey of the world today will confirm that nations relatively
open to trade tend to be more prosperous than nations that are relatively
closed. The wealthiest nations and regions of the world- -Western Europe,
the United States, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and
Singaporeare all trade-orientated.

On July 1, 2014, Canada's population was estimated at 35,540,400, up 386,100 or 1.1%

over the last year (2013/2014). This increase was slightly lower than that of the previous
year (+1.2% in 2012/2013) but similar to the average annual population increase for the
last 30 years (+1.1%).
Except for the period between 1986/1987 and 1989/1990, when rates were higher, the
overall population growth rate has shown little variation in 30 years, ranging
between 0.8% and 1.2%.

Canadas population growth is highest among G7 Countries.

Global Value Chains

Fragmentation of production in global value chains (GVCs) leads to a finer division
of labour and specialization across nations. Increasingly, Canadian manufacturers
are being vertically integrated into GVCsimporting intermediates to produce
goods that are later exported. This paper analyzes the effects of participation in a
GVC on the productivity performance of Canadian manufacturing firms. GVC
status is defined as engaging in both importing and exporting.
More productive firms may self-select to join GVCs. The 28% of Canadian
manufacturing firms that participated in GVCs during the 2002-to-2006 period
tended to be more productive and larger, and to pay higher wages.

Foreign Direct Investments A second important indicator for globalization is the

trend in foreign direct investment In Canada, the pattern of inward direct
investment relative to GDP has remained relatively constant over the 19-year
period 1980-1999 with investment reaching a quarter of GDP in 1999. For the
United States and France, the ratios have tripled and more than tripled,
respectively, but the investment represents a much smaller proportion of GDP.
