Understanding Globalization and the Evolving Entrepreneurial Environment
Globalization is the increasing economic interdependence among countries worldwide, leading to cross-border transactions, technology diffusion, and international capital flows. It facilitates business expansion, erases market differences, and encourages global strategic orientations. Factors influencing globalization include dismantling barriers, overcapacity, technological advancements, and political influences. Entrepreneurs must consider product lines, market selection, entry modes, expansion pace, and competitive strategies to establish a global presence with minimal risk. Market entry decisions should focus on profitable products, market potential, entry barriers, competition intensity, ownership control, and export versus local production policies. Government measures towards globalization involve scrapping restrictive laws and promoting collaboration with multinational companies through joint ventures.
