(a)Globalisation is the process by which most economies around the world have become incorporated into a single world

society. Zimbabwe as an organisation has become more immunised to globalisation through various process such as the process of

indigenisation,make the attractive places to be known worldwide and also fostering of foreigner investors to invest in our country. The allowing of foreigner investors brought the variety of technologies that made the Zimbabwe to be the major competent in the global. These technologies are transport and communication technologies that would facilitate the international cultural and economic exchange. The evolving of communication technology in Zimbabwe made it easily to sell their products and also to make its attractive scene to be known world over. Again, the coming in of different kinds of people brought in different culture that made it to be cultural globalised. This process is marked by the spread of commodities and ideologies which become standardised around the world. Mass consumption serves as a facilitator between different people and cultures around the globe as a result of the exponential growth of human population. Through technological advances culture has been moving beyond borders and also thus made my organisation to share and gain some ideas and values from other culture that ultimately lead to an interconnectedness with various countries. More so, the advancement of technological would make Zimbabwe to stand on its own in developing of good standard products, which has economic empowered to compete in the globe. It allows the spread of power to individual to show their efforts in improving gross domestic product, which fosters the good living standards of people within the country and also world over. Zimbabwe globalised through the growing and selling of major demanded crops such as tobacco and cotton which fostering to the flowing in of foreign currency which leads to infrastructure development such as construction of roads, clinics and sch ools. Democratic globalisation places a very crucial important role to make Zimbabwe to incorporate with other countries in the world. Democratic globalisation is a movement towards an institutional system of global democracy that would give citizens a say in world

organisations. The purpose of democratic globalisation is to expand globalisation and make people closer and more united, give Zimbabwean citizens a democratic access and a say to those global activities. The implications of globalisation for a n ational economy are many. Globalisation has intensified interdependence and competition between economies in the world market. This is reflected in interdependence in regard to trading in goods and services and capital. As a result domestic economic developments are not determined entirely by domestic policies and market conditions. Rather they are influenced by both domestic and international policies and market conditions. Exports and imports plays a very crucial role to make my organisation Zimbabwe its many companies have started becoming respectable players in the international scene. Exporting of mineral such as gold, diamond, and silver creates a very big relationship with many countries in the world. Again, the spread of information through various forms such as the use of internets gives Zimbabwe has chance to be involved in the incorporated with variety of countries in the world. The use of internet guarantees the faster and easy way of marketing different kinds of products. Sophisticated machinery makes labour to done easily and also encourages the production of good quality products. However the flocking in of many people with different culture in the country can cause a greater effect on the culture of that country, for instance before colonisation people in Zimbabwe they were not going to school because there were few schools and people would travel long distance to school. After colonisation different things were changed, technology was improving stage by stage. The moving in of products from one country to another brings a lot of negative externalities such as poor living standards and diseases like swine flu. In the light of the above, to be immunised globalisation plays a major significant role in developing the organisation and made it well incorporate with many economies in the world economy.

(b) Organisation may enter the global market through various kinds of international investments. Companies may choose to make foreign direct investments which allow them to control companies and assets in other countries, in addition companies elect to make the portfolio investments by acquiring the stock of companie s in other countries in bid to gain control these companies. Another way companies tap in to the global market is by forming strategic alliances with companies in other countries. While the strategic alliances come in many forms, some enable each company to access the home market of the other and there by market their products as being affiliated with the well-known host company. This method of international business also enables a company to bypass some of the difficulties associated with internationalisation such as different political regulatory and social conditions. The home company can help the multinational company to address and overcome these difficulties because it accustomed to them. Management must decide where the company can competitive advantage over other companies in the industry. Management can identify their competitive advantage by determining what the company do better than its competitors. Companies may realise this advantages through a host of technics such as using superior technology, implementing more efficient organisational practices and distribution systems and cultivating well -known brands. This component of the strategy involves not only identifying existing or potential areas of competitive advantage but also developing a plan for sustaining areas of competitive advantage. Finally global strategy should involve establishing a plan for the company that enables its various functions and operations to benefit one another, for example, a company can use one line of products to encourage sales of another line of products and enabling different parts of a business to benefit from each other. Finally, companies may participate in the international market by licensing or franchising. Licensing involves granting another company the right to use its brand names, trademarks or patents in exchange for royalty payments. Franchising on the other hand, is when one company agrees to allow a company in another county to use its name and methods of operations in exchange for royalty payments.

Generally a company develops its international strategy by considering, which includes its operation at home and abroad. Management can consider four aspects of strategy (a) scope of operation (b) resources allocations (c) competitive advantage (d) synergy. The first component encompasses the geographic, country and regions of possible operations as well as possible markets or niches in various regions. Since companies have limited resources and different regions offer different advantages managers must select markets that offer the company the optimal opportunities. The second component of the global strategy focuses on use of company resources so that a company can compete successfully in the chosen market. This component of strategy planning also determines the relative importance of various company functions and bases the allocation of resources on the relative importance of each function, for instance, a company may decide to allocate its resources based on product lines or geographical locations. In a nutshell, participating in the international markets, adopting of strategic alliances and also considering market forces can make an organisation to penetrate into global market. Segmenting the market and pricing strategies could be another way of penetrating to the global market. References
