“Globalisation” is a term used for a process in which people of the world are unified into a single society to function together. It is the integration of the globe into the international economy through international trade, FDI, FPI, and immigration. The decline in barriers between the countries for international trade and investment has made all countries interdependent.
Globalization offers an opportunity for a business to develop their trade all over the globe. Globalisation not only gives an opportunity to the businesses but also to the people by creating more jobs and giving the national economy an edge by investing on the national resources. By immigration and offshoring jobs globalisation has created an impact differently on different parts of the world. For an instance, by off-shoring services or outsourcing jobs countries like India, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
According to International Monetary Fund “Globalisation refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through the movement of goods, services, and capital across borders. The term sometimes also refers to the movement of people (labor) and knowledge (technology) across international borders. There are also broader cultural, political, and environmental dimensions of globalization. The term ‘globalization’ began to be used more commonly in the 1980s, reflecting technological advances that made it easier and quicker to complete international transactions—both trade and financial flows.”
