Drivers of Globalization

Globalization has been driven by five major factors: political, technological, market, cost, and competitive. Businesses have fueled and have ultimately been the beneficiaries of these trends. Understanding these trends helps businesses develop strategies and tactics to accelerate their growth and international expansion.

Understanding globalization trends helps businesses identify opportunities and threats in their environment. Understanding these trends will also make the changes much more manageable and predictable. International businesses have greater flexibility, more options, and a broader scope to consider globalization of production and globalization of markets.
