Globalization
A commonly accepted division of the globalization process
World trade volume of $380 billion in 1950 has
increased to $21.2 trillion in 2005.








Decrease in tariffs
Trade agreements signed among countries and regions
Regional integrations
Developments in and cheapening in communication

 Multinational
Companies (MNCs) ate the
companies that make FDI and produce value
added in more than one country and own the
process.
 Theories


of MNCs:
Location Theory (focus on resources)
Internationalization Theory (Instead of various
companies only one-company-production is
advantageous. Focus on technology transfer and
vertical integration)
7/25

Product Life Cycle Theory
By Vernon, 1966, Where to produce? Developed vs. developing
economies, focus on standardization and production cost

Internalization Theory
By Buckley and Casson, 1976, How to produce? By licensing or leasing vs.
FDI, focus on transportation costs, trade barriers, foreign market
information, information asymmetries

OLI (Eclectic) Paradigm
Ownership (Focus on patent, trade secrets, trademarks, economies of
scale and synergy, diffusion of geographical risk, cross-country
arbitrage)
Location (Production efficiency, transportation cost, chep labor,
proximity to customers, local image, trade applications)
Internalization (Imperfect competition)

Other Theories
Caves Economies (Focus on firm advantages)
 Oligopolistic Reaction Theory (By Knickerbocker, Follow-the-leader)
 Hymer and Kindleberger’s Theory (Focus on intermediate good
transfers of MNCs)

Both capitalism and communism lack absolute
success!
 But globalization is not a magic cure for the
problems of humanity either!
 World still has growth potential, mainly due to
developing countries
 The growth in developing countries depletes
natural resources and therefore future growth
potential
 The high growth rates in developing countries
decreases poverty
 However, imbalances still prevail!
 Divergences in incomes produce polarization and
therefore threat!

23/25
 Polarization
causes migration to be the only
salvation in developing countries
 Will
the world continue to rotate from west
to east or will it reverse?
 The
future of globalization and the world
depends on the process itself and how it is
managed.
