...Global connections in the past Rapid communication and price convergence rarely characterised global interactions before the late eighteenth century, when the unparalleled position of Britain made it a global Empire, as it dominated international trade and production, secured by its overwhelming military power . However, earlier interactions still generated effects linking economic and political changes around the globe – these changes were different but no less transformative than those accompanying the modern globalisation . Soon after Vasco da Gama’s voyage to India (1497-1499), the Portuguese established commercial routes with pepper-trading states and opened factories across the world. Benefiting from its strong maritime power, Portugal managed to dominate the spice trade in the sixteenth century and was, according to many historians,...

...ISRAEL IN A GLOBAL WORLD “It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity” Kofi Annan As we know, since the early 1990’s the world has witnessed a new era that we call globalization. Since then different countries around the world have been adapted and integrated into this phenomenon in different ways. In the following paper it will be discuss the particular case of Israel and how that country has contributed to world’s globalization. For that, it is important to take into account Israel’s actual international status, it’s diplomatic relations (specially with the U.S), and it’s economy and the valuable products that offer to the world. First of all, here will be discussed the diplomatic relations and cooperation of Israel with other countries of the world, primarily talking about the importance of the relation with the U.S. “Since 1991, Israel's international status has greatly improved as many states decided to upgrade or to establish diplomatic relations with the Jewish state, partly due to the emergence of the United States as a hegemonic global power.” (Inbar, 2013) Here we can see that, as Israel were an ally of the United States on the Cold War and they partialy won then many states thanks to it’s good links were partially convinced to be potencially linked to Israel in a future. The close relations with U.S and having them as a background positioned Israel’s trade in a better place and also broght...

...Phase I – Individual Project MGM316-1404A-06 Professor Robert Dunoskovic Colorado Technical University Hesteresia “Terri” Crawford October 15, 2014 When starting a franchise in other countries one should consider the complications one can run into such as their cultures and beliefs. This type of venture requires careful planning to ensure it is not a complete washout. Franchises that are proposing to invest in foreign market, in such countries such as Mexico, China, United Arab Emirates and Israel, have distinctive arrogances, views, principles, customs and philosophies that are contrarily from the United States. Nations such as UAE are mostly Islamic which have stringent religious views toward ingesting products such as pork. It is considered as being unclean, other religions, such as Buddhism which is practiced in China grimace at beef because they also consider it to be unclean. The ingesting of pork is forbidden by the Judaism faith in Israel thus such sacred beliefs would impede the development of a franchise in these nations. Mexico, has several ethnic issues that could increase the substantial use of American fast food such as the total rise in economic wages, varying tendencies with respects to mothers returning to the workforce as well. Also with the average being below 30, as stated by the Canadian Market gauge report of 2011, we are dealing with a younger generation, more youthful customers...

...different regions were similar, they were still different. Each province had a dialect different from each other. Since we have decided to extend our fast food hamburger franchise to include UAE (United Arab Emirates), Israel, Mexico and China we must first do some research on the culture, language, religious beliefs, and values of these new countries. The first thing I would research is the different cultures and how they will impact the business. Does their culture even allow for this type of food? In the articles that I researched, the countries that I will expand my franchise to will only have one major issue, which is the same issue in the United States. That issue is obesity. United Arab Emirates – With American fast food already being global I foresee no issues with the type of food prepared in my fast food chain expanding to the UAE. Since the 1980’s the Middle East has had American fast food chains. (Pulitzer Center, 2012) According to Shane McGinley “The UAE restaurant market is set to grow 30 percent to $780m in the next four years and will be dominated by American-style fast food brands, an industry expert have said.” (McGinley, 2011) Israel – Nathan Jeffay say “For two decades it has been flying the flag for American fast food in a sea of falafel shops and shwarma joints.” (Jeffay, 2010) He also states that several American fast food chains have already failed in Israel. So moving my franchise there would entail a complete change of the menu to exclude burgers and include...

...Explain how theories, such as Dependency Theory and World Systems Theory can contribute to an understanding of changing patterns of global power. To understand changing patterns of global power is no easy feat, but several theories may give us an insight to the shift of power in our modern world, I wish to talk about these theories and how we can use them to better understand our past and present global power situations. The first of these theories is Andre Gunder Frank’s Dependency Theory, which revolves around the idea of resources from poor, underdeveloped states (the periphery) going to the wealthy states (core), giving the wealthy states most of the benefits. The second theory, Wallerstein’s World Systems Theory, divides the world into core, periphery, and semi-periphery countries. Periphery countries are poor countries, such as most of Africa, they provide raw materials and cheap labour, mostly to the semi-periphery. The semi-periphery have more wealth than the periphery but some countries are still in poverty, they usually mass-produce ordinary goods, and are often contracted by those from the core. The Core exploits the rest of the world, they own Trans-National Corporations, and they produce the highest quality goods as well as leading technologies. Another possible theory is Rostow’s model, in which all countries go through the same steps to get to a state of high mass consumption – traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity...

It analyzes the strategies used by IKEA to gain competitive advantage in markets outside of its original market. The report provides a background of the organization, recognizes IKEA’s main markets and examines corporate level strategies by identifying its target market and evaluating its pricing strategies. This case study will further analyze how culture, design, and price play significant roles in determining IKEA’s success.

...Total Quality Pioneers Paper xxxxxxxx Quality Management and Productivity MGT/449 xxxxxx xxx Introduction People are confronted with scenarios concerning quality nearly every day. The word or notion of quality can be defined a number of ways. Some think quality should be determined by individual standards and expectations, while others believe quality is an ever changing state. Goetsch and Davis systematically broke down the elements of quality and determined that “quality is a dynamic state associated with products, services, people, processes, and environments that meets or exceeds expectations and helps produce superior value (Goetsch and Davis, 2010 p.5).” Whatever ones interpretation of quality might be, the intent of this paper is to more clearly define quality and its elements as well as describe how the quality pioneer's use of the total quality elements made the pioneers successful. Furthermore, this paper will explain why the elements of quality are useful in today’s environment and offer some insight as to what the future of quality might look like. Quality and its Elements Quality is defined with a variety of distinct explanations. Nevertheless, understanding quality is the key. End use consumers that are businesses explain quality unmistakably through the use of standards, specifications, and other measurable features. For instance, an individual in search of a new automobile will make his or her final purchase decision based on the quality...

...TM-Chapter 1 (Motivations, Means and Mentalities) In this chapter, a number of important questions that companies must resolve before taking the leap to operate outside their home environment. 1. What market opportunities, sourcing advantages, or strategic imperatives provide the motivation for their international expansion? 2. By what means will they expand their overseas presence-through modes such as exports, licensing, joint ventures, wholly-owned subsidiaries, or some other means? 3. How will the management mentalities – their embedded attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs- that they bring to their international ventures affect their chances of success? Operating in an international rather than a domestic arena presents managers with many new opportunities. Having worldwide operations not only gives a company access to new markets and low-cost resources, it also opens up new sources of information and knowledge and broadens the options for strategic moves that the company might make to compete with its domestic and international rivals. However, with all these new opportunities come the challenges of managing strategy, organization, and operations that are innately more complex, diverse, and uncertain. What is multinational enterprise? * Multinational enterprise has substantial direct investment in foreign countries (Not just the trading relationships of an import-export business), and actively manage and regard those operations as integral parts of the company...
