From the Paper
"It is clear that the promise of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has not materialized in the lives of independent farmers, wage workers and that this has greatly affected the lives of millions. NAFTA is proclaimed by the governments and corporations within the countries of NAFTA to be an unmitigated success and perhaps from the perspective of the governments and the corporations this is true. The problem that exists is that the independent farmers are out of business and migrating into the areas where jobs are already scarce and wages are low. Furthermore U.S. independent farmers have been essentially driven out of business due to impacts of NAFTA. It should be questioned that the only growers of food are the big corporations leaving little in the way of choice to consumers."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Often the risk of conducting business in some countries is high, but then the return on the investment is high. The discovery of substantial opportunity occurs by taking substantial risks. To mitigate or manage risks, Motorola must thoroughly analyze and forecast risks to determine if the risks are advantageous to organizational objectives.
The European Union is considered the largest single market in the world (Hill, 2004). Italy is a family-based country in which wireless products are welcomed to support the growing communication needs of the country. The centralization of Italy will promote the easy access of shipping, communicating, and taxation risks. Looking at the economy, location, and talent pool, expansion in the EU is a profitable choice for Motorola."

Discussion
From the Paper
"Most business-to-consumer sites operate similar to the traditional brick and mortar stores in terms of the supply chain. These companies typically have various suppliers from which they purchase either finished products or raw materials for the in-house production of a product. Many of those e-businesses that purchase finished products for resale are wholesalers. These companies or individuals contract with larger organizations to sell a company's product to the end-user for a small profit. Often these wholesalers do not have to maintain any sort of inventory, as the delivery of the product occurs via drop shipments."

Abstract
Using Enron's collapse as a background, this paper endeavors to arrive at the restoration of integrity within American business organizations. It scrutinizes the reasons for Enron's downfall in the light of the auditing business, looks at their law firm's role in the collapse and Enron's lack of 401(k) diversification. The paper concludes with proposals for restoring integrity within the American business arena.
From the Paper
"The fallout from Enron?s collapse will influence our business systems and economy for years, maybe even decades. More importantly, the collapse will shape the American business community?s psyche in ways we have only begun to imagine. Before its collapse, Enron?s value rivaled Maylasia?s GDP: when an entity that large implodes, there are bound to be side effects and repercussions through almost every facet of the economy. The hardest hit sectors, of course, will be institutional investing and accounting and auditing practices: a thorough examination of how company 401(k) retirement funds are managed will be necessary to determine why so many aging working Americans suddenly lost almost every penny of their 401(k)s ? their hope and their family?s hope for their retirement years, just around the corner ? when Enron collapsed. Accounting companies who combine their services with consulting services ? not just Arthur Anderson: every accounting firm does it at least to a certain extent, Anderson just happened to get caught ? will need to be checked and after years of congressional grumbling, this time it may actually happen."

Integrity in Business Ethics, 2006.

Abstract
The paper begins with a review of basic ethical principles, between individuals and between governments and individuals. It contrasts the cultural differences in ethical behavior, using adultery as an example of unethical behavior in America that is accepted in other countries. The writer then gives examples of conflicts that a company identified as "Med Inc." had in international dealings. The writer analyzes the ethical conflicts shown in each situation. In conclusion, the writer shows that the ethical system used by American businesses does not correlate with the values of people in other countries.
From the Paper
"One of the reasons this paper has focused on the differences between western and mid east or Asian culture is that there is a world of difference between western business ethics and those practiced by OPEC or most Asian countries.
"As a primary example I am going to tell you about the commercial dealings between a Fortune 500 American business let's call it Medic Inc. and its subsidiaries, dealers and customers from other cultures.
"The first law of American business ethics, and there is a law, is "You shall not bribe any a government, official, person or business in order to obtain preferred status with said customer." Business caught doing this not only is subject to a major fine, but criminal charges may be brought both on the individual doing the bribing and the board of directors of the company.
"In contrast, in Africa, Asia, except possibly Japan, and in the Mid East, 'Baksheesh' is not only not illegal, it is an expected practice. In order for a company to do business with certain governments or businesses a gift of either money or similar value must be made to those making the final decision about whether your company' bid will win or not. Lowest price doesn't really come into play here. It's not what you know, technologically, but whom you know that counts."

Abstract
This paper discusses that the biggest gains have not been through the World Trade Organization, which is a hot-house for trade disputes and empty rhetoric, but through regional movements like the European Union, NAFTA, and on a broader level, APEC. The author concludes that these three arenas are the most important economic integration projects in the international arena.

Globalization, Integration & Outsourcing, 2005.
A review of globalization as an economic model, financial integration and the benefits and downfalls of outsourcing on the economy.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 10 sources, AU$ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the spread and effect of globalization as a world economic model to facilitate commerce and financial integration. Additionally, the ill-effects of globalization are examined, such as outsourcing, which entails the migration of operations overseas to foreign borders. Outsourcing is particular savage for advanced economies such as the United States where first the manufacturing and production jobs migrate only to be replaced later by service and technology positions later.
From the Paper
"Globalization is the economic catchphrase of the 21st century. People use it to explain many things but when asked to define it, the term often defies explanation. One source defines globalization as: The integration of the world's culture, economy, and infrastructure driven by the lowering of political barriers to transnational trade and investment, and by the rapid proliferation of communication and information technologies. The term is often used in reference to the substantial impact of free-market forces on local, regional and national economies. (Globalization, Commanding... 1) The key points in the given definition would seem to be culture, economy, and infrastructure, since globalization is often blamed or praised for phenomena within each of these areas. Culture, because globalization tends to blur delineations between them; economy because globalization appears to benefit the more efficient economies; and infrastructure because the mechanisms of communication, transportation, and knowledge transfer facilitate it."

European Integration in a Continental and Global Context, 2002.

Abstract
The following paper discusses the growing awareness among Europeans that only a unified Europe can successfully meet the challenges of the future. The writer argues that only a strong global community, consisting of the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and other major powers of the world, committed to a global goal of growing prosperity, will be able to build a more peaceful future for all mankind.
From the Paper
?For more than half a century the western, integrated part of Europe has lived in peace and freedom and has, along with North America and Japan, formed one of the three most prosperous areas of the world. Just over the past 10 years, construction of a political union among EU member states has made considerable progress and closer cooperation has been established over a whole array of policies ? from economic and social to security and defense. In 1952 six countries came together out of the rubble of World War II to pool their basic production in the European Coal and Steel Community. The goal then, as now, was to bind Europe so tightly together that another war \"becomes not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible,\" as founding father Robert Schuman put it.?

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.
An analysis of the impact of globalization on the inequality between the global north and the global south.
1,402 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 8 sources, MLA, AU$ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Globalization and Global Labour Patterns, 2005.
An analysis of the factors leading to globalization and global labour patterns.

Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."

Processes of Globalization and Shared Global Culture, 2005.
A discussion on whether the processes of globalization are producing a shared global culture.
2,028 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 104.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that it is not complicated to find some globalized places such as airline terminals, international hotels or CNN business news revealing the effects of globalization and its repercussions on our understanding of culture in the modern world. The paper relates that through the growing of global interconnections and the processes of ideas and global goods crossing national borders, cultures fuse across the globe. The paper also discusses the presence of English as an international language, and a homogenization of culture. The paper confirms that, culture is a set of values and practices characterized by its particularity, which nevertheless needs universal criteria as a reference to justify this particularity. It is also crucial to define culture as an "encompassing" concept and to keep in mind that it is difficult to know what is cultural.
From the Paper
"In addition, a shared global culture is also relevant as a global dissemination of an American or Western culture. Indeed the processes of globalization are providing fuel for a cultural imperialism, that is to say a global culture liable to be a hegemonic culture. Thus the assertion of a shared global culture seems to be linked to what Friedman describes as "the increasing hegemony of particular central cultures, the diffusion of American values, consumers goods and lifestyles" (Friedman, 1994: 195). The diffusion of dominant standard icons and references such as MacDonald's, Coca-Cola leads to think about an obvious Americanization. In a word, cultures are both confronted by a global dominance of the western culture and by the practices of global capitalism. The result is probably a decrease of cultural differences: a process which undeniably worked to the advantage of the USA and others Western nations. A striking example of this tendency of cultural imperialism is the United Nations Educations Scientific and Cultural Organization's call for a "new world information and communication order" and its politics on global culture."
