    Globalisation and internationalisation (LO1)
    Globalization
    “… is the inexorable integration of
    markets, capital, nation-states,
    and technologies in ways that
    allow individuals, groups,
    corporations and countries to
    reach around the world farther,
    faster, deeper and cheaper than
    ever before.”
    Steers, Nardon, & Sanchez-Runde (2013:13-16)
    Internationalization
    is the process of a business crossing
    national and cultural borders
    • Increased complexity
    • More ambiguity
    • Heightened uncertainty
    • Greater competition

    Defining international organisations (LO2)
     International firms are importers and exporters, they
    have no direct investment outside of their home country
     The multinational corporation (MNC) is a company
    with significant direct foreign investment in at least one
    foreign nation other than its home country and it has
    actual management responsibility for those foreign
    operations. (Examples?)
    International management is the practice of
    managing business operations in more than one
    country
    Defining international organisations (Cont’d)
     A global organisation is characterized by
    having integrated systems of international
    operations and management that bind the
    company together as an interdependent endeavour.
     A transnational corporation (TNC) is
    described as a “globally integrated” organisation,
    which is a multinational, yet distinct in its
    expansive interests; its pervasive markets and
    transactions; and its interdependent management
    systems.
