Download or read book The Origins of Globalization written by Karl Moore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origins of Globalization draws widely on ancient sources and modern economic theory to detail the concept of “known world” globalization, arguing that a mixed economy--similar in many respects to our own--existed in a variety of forms throughout the ancient world. By analyzing the business practices of the ancient world--phenomena such as resource and market seeking behavior, international trade from China, India and Rome, to Africa and even northern and western parts of Europe, Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) operating internationally and outsourcing production, multicultural workforces, tariff reduced zones, interregional tax issues, and the management of currency risks--the authors provide readers with a unique historical interpretation of the contemporary globalizing economy and a durable theoretical framework for future historical economic analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For better or for worse, in recent times the rapid growth of international economic exchange has changed our lives. But when did this process of globalization begin, and what effects did it have on economies and societies? Pim de Zwart and Jan Luiten van Zanden argue that the networks of trade established after the voyages of Columbus and Da Gama of the late fifteenth century had transformative effects inaugurating the first era of globalization. The global flows of ships, people, money and commodities between 1500 and 1800 were substantial, and the re-alignment of production and distribution resulting from these connections had important consequences for demography, well-being, state formation and the long-term economic growth prospects of the societies involved in the newly created global economy. Whether early globalization had benign or malignant effects differed by region, but the world economy as we now know it originated in these changes in the early modern period.
Book Synopsis A Big History of Globalization by : Julia Zinkina
Download or read book A Big History of Globalization written by Julia Zinkina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the history of globalization as a network-based story in the context of Big History. Departing from the traditional historic discourse, in which communities, cities, and states serve as the main units of analysis, the authors instead trace the historical emergence, growth, interconnection, and merging of various types of networks that have gradually encompassed the globe. They also focus on the development of certain ideas, processes, institutions, and phenomena that spread through those networks to become truly global. The book specifies five macro-periods in the history of globalization and comprehensively covers the first four, from roughly the 9th – 7th millennia BC to World War I. For each period, it identifies the most important network-related developments that facilitated (or even spurred on) such transitions and had the greatest impacts on the history of globalization. By analyzing the world system's transition to new levels of complexity and connectivity, the book provides valuable insights into the course of Big History and the evolution of human societies.
Book Synopsis Globalization by : Jürgen Osterhammel
Download or read book Globalization written by Jürgen Osterhammel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Globalization" has become a popular buzzword for explaining today's world. The expression achieved terminological stardom in the 1990s and was soon embraced by the general public and integrated into numerous languages. But is this much-discussed phenomenon really an invention of modern times? In this work, Jürgen Osterhammel and Niels Petersson make the case that globalization is not so new, after all. Arguing that the world did not turn "global" overnight, the book traces the emergence of globalization over the past seven or eight centuries. In fact, the authors write, the phenomenon can be traced back to early modern large-scale trading, for example, the silk trade between China and the Mediterranean region, the shipping routes between the Arabian Peninsula and India, and the more frequently traveled caravan routes of the Near East and North Africa--all conduits for people, goods, coins, artwork, and ideas. Osterhammel and Petersson argue that the period from 1750 to 1880--an era characterized by the development of free trade and the long-distance impact of the industrial revolution--represented an important phase in the globalization phenomenon. Moreover, they demonstrate how globalization in the mid-twentieth century opened up the prospect of global destruction though nuclear war and ecological catastrophe. In the end, the authors write, today's globalization is part of a long-running transformation and has not ushered in a "global age" radically different from anything that came before. This book will appeal to historians, economists, and anyone in the social sciences who is interested in the historical emergence of globalization.

Download or read book Globalization in World History written by Antony G. Hopkins and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 2002 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization has become an issue of the greatest urgency in the firstdecade of the new century. Recent world events, especially theterrorist attacks on the United States and the evolving conflicts inthe Middle East, have sparked wider concern for global issues ingeneral. There is now a flood of literature on the economics, politics,and sociology of globalization and regular commentary in the seriousdaily and weekly press. Virtually all of this discussion makes assumptions, and frequentlyexplicit claims, about the novelty of globalization. According to oneview, globalization is a new phenomenon that can be dated from the1980s. A second view holds that globalization has a long history thatcan be traced to the nineteenth century, if not earlier. These areimportant claims, but until now they had not attracted significantcritical attention from historians. This volume is the first by a teamof historians to address these issues. Globalization in World History has two distinctive features. First, ittraces the history of globalization across nearly three centuries. Second, it emphasizes a feature that the current debate greatlyunderestimates: the fact that globalization has non-Western as well asWestern origins. Globalization is much more than a new way to tell theall-too-familiar "rise of the West" story. The contributors bring theirexpertise to bear on themes that give prominence to China, South Asia,Africa, and the world of Islam, as well as to Europe and the UnitedStates; these themes span the last three centuries while also showingan awareness of more distant antecedents. The result is a coherent andthought-provoking collection of essays. Globalization will become amajor theme of historical research during the next decade; this bookwill help set the new agenda.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2.0, Ruhr-University of Bochum (European Culture & Economy), course: MA (ECUE), language: English, abstract: The term globalization first appeared in 1962 as jargon. Perhaps this is one of the most controversial terms in recent history. The Economist has called it "the most abused word of the 21st century". Globalization means different things to different people. Anthony Giddens rightly says "As an unpredictable and turbulent process, globalization is seen and understood very differently by observers." Globalization gurus are puzzled about the direction and consequences of globalization. Some appreciate it and believe that it would lead to universal peace and harmony- nirvana. Others condemn it, as they believe that it would lead to all kind of chaos and Unordnung. Unfortunately it is also true. Globalization has also contributed to recent terrorism. In this work I make an impartial attempt to present an objective understanding of the term "Globalization". Globalization is causing many structural changes and I admit that some of them are very cruel. Can globalization be stopped ? If, not then what strategy should be adopted to protect the masses. This work aims to find answers to several such questions. I begin with conceptualization of the term globalization. Then I briefly describes implications of globalization in various fields. Later part mainly deals with economic, political and communication dimensions of globalization. Attempts are made to trace the origin of globalization. Several debatable and contradictory arguments are put also forward. Assuming globalization as dependent variable, I proceed to elaborate on various factors, which causes globalization. Internet, bandwidth and flow of information without any hindrance have contributed to contemporary globalization. Such free flow of information has also occ

Book Synopsis Critical Situations in Multicultural Teams. Challenges for Multinational Companies by : Lucia Schellwies

This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,3, EBC University Stuttgart, course: International Business Management, language: English, abstract: As a result of the increasing globalization the business world gets interconnected and more and more organizations are operating internationally. Such multinational companies often rely on successful teamwork to reach goals and to compete on the fast-paced global market. Indeed, teamwork plays a variety of important roles; when employees with varying skill sets and ideas are working together in a team not only information and knowledge can be shared, successful teamwork can also lead to faster results. A group of employees clearly can achieve more than one individual alone. Teams, whose members come from different nations and backgrounds place special demands on operations, diversity clearly adds complexity and a longer learning curve for establishing effective processes. In the multicultural team, obviously, culture itself is one significant characteristic, in addition the role of emotions in the team have gained increasing interest in the last years. Nevertheless, research in this field is scarce and through adding an additional variable – culture, the multicultural character is making research even more complicate. Practitioners report that where people work together, emotions are not far to seek. While influencing our thinking and behavior, the effects of emotions and the resulting behavior can either be positive, or negative. In multicultural teams an awareness of emotions seems to be especially important as cultural differences in emotion processing and diversity among members may cause negative emotion and lead to conflict and misunderstandings what may have serious consequences reducing performance. The aim of this paper is to identify challenges for multinational teams focusing on emotions within the team, and to propose emotional intelligence as an approach to multicultural team effectiveness. The two research questions guiding this work are: 1. What role do emotions play in the multicultural team? 2. Is emotional intelligence connected with multicultural team effectiveness?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Weltgeschichte" bildet einen der dynamischsten Bereiche der internationalen Geschichtswissenschaft - und einen der vielgestaltigsten. Diese Anthologie zeigt mit Texten vor allem aus der jüngeren welthistorischen Forschung und Diskussion die thematische und methodische Bandbreite dieses Feldes. In seiner Einleitung arbeitet Jürgen Osterhammel sieben Grundmotive der heutigen Beschäftigung mit Weltgeschichte heraus und verbindet sie mit einer Analyse der vorgestellten Studien, die er in ihren historiographischen Kontext einbettet. Dabei schürt er keine programmatischen Grabenkämpfe; vielmehr beweist der Band Skeptikern, wie sich "Weltgeschichte" sinnvoll schreiben lässt, und welche Fragestellungen und Forschungsansätze durch eine globale Dimension gewinnen können. Eine Auswahlbibliographie und ein Register runden die Sammlung ab.
