The Impact of Globalization

Outsourcing is similar except that the process is moved from inside to outside the company. A trading partner takes over the operation sometimes the partner is inside the same country, sometimes the partner is outside the country. 

Privatization occurs when a company moves a business from the public sector to the private sector. The privatized business must stand on its own with less or no government support. Privatization promotes globalization because acquirers of privatized businesses frequently roll up former state-owned enterprises under a multinational umbrella. Also, privatized companies have fewer restrictions that require them to keep operations inside a country. So they can offshore or outsource more freely. This is ambiguous in places like China, where private companies have majority government ownership.

All studies to date that have endeavored to use carbonate or phosphate fossils to infer paleoelevations have focused on stable isotope trends. This principal reliance on isotopes presents potentially serious problems on two fronts—the presumed constancy of isotopic lapse rates, and the required models of the impact of global climate change on local climate, independent of local topography.

To learn more about the history of globalization and its impacts, the book World is Flat by Thomas Friedman is an excellent resource (Friedman, 2005). It explains how "flattening" of the world happened in the twenty-first century due to globalization, WTO, and the Internet revolution. It also discusses the impacts of globalization on countries, companies, and the average consumer. The author also explains how governments and societies can adapt to the globalization trends.
