The cost of goods and values to the end user determine


the movement of goods and value addition. The overall
economics of a particular industry or trade is an
important factor in globalisation.

(3) Resources and Markets:

The natural resources like minerals, coal, oil, gas, human


resources, water, etc. make an important contribution in
globalisation.

Extra payment
connected with permits
and licenses are
common

The mineral based industries like steel, aluminium, coal


in Australia are examples. Few of these Australian
mining and metal companies are owned by European /
Japanese / American companies.

Near distance to end user or consumer also is an


important factor in globalisation. The large markets as
consumer bases in Asian countries have led many
European, Korean to Japanese manufacturing
conglomerates and shift their manufacturing and
trading bases in Asian countries.

That is going near the customer makes globalisation. The


Table 16.1 gives the strengths and weakness of India in
global level. The details are based on expert survey on
globalisation. As may be seen from the table low on scale
is lack or shortfall and hence, ranking is low.

(4) Production Issues:
Utilisation of built up capacities of production,
sluggishness in domestic market and over production
makes a manufacturing company look outward and go
global. The development of overseas markets and
manufacturing plants in autos, four wheelers and two
wheelers is a classical example.

(5) Political:

The political issues of a country make globalisation


channelised as per political bosses. The regional trade
understandings or agreements determine the scope of
globalization. Trading in European Union and special
agreement in the erstwhile Soviet block and SAARC are
examples.

(6) Industrial Organisation:
The technological development in the areas of
production, product mix and firms are helping
organisations to expand their operations. The hiring of
services and procurement of sub-assemblies and
components have a strong influence in the globalisation
process.

(7) Technologies:

The stage of technology in a particular field gives rise to


import or export of products or services from or to the
country. European countries like England and Germany
exported their chemical, electrical, mechanical plants in
50s and 60s and exports high tech (then) goods to under
developed countries. Today India is exporting computer
/ software related services to advanced counties like UK,
USA, etc.

Eight barriers in economic activities:
Many countries in Particular developing ones impose
restrictions to globalisations by:

i. Imposing high taxes and duties for capital goods,


spares and materials,

ii. Licensing restrictions,

iii. Foreign exchange restrictions,

iv. Investment restrictions,

v. Incentives and prioritisation to specific domestic


industries, and

vi. Banning / restricting products of foreign origin.

vii. Procedural hassles, bureaucracy

viii. Closed mind-set

The fears of the countries in that case may be:

i. To provide local employment,

ii. To raise standard of living and GDP,

iii. To help in building up foreign exchange reserves,

iv. To channelise the resources of the country,

v. To develop new skills / markets and

vi. To mobilise capital.

Transport, communication and IT:
The technological revolution the world has witnessed in
the last two decades is overwhelming. Development has
immensely influenced world trade by bridging space
and time. IT has revolutionised the way the business
goes. E-money, e-banking, B2B business, B2C business
and internet have added to speed up globalisation.
