Durch die Globalisation können die Kapitalisten ihren ohnehin schon gewaltigen Besitz noch viel weiter vergrößern und dass auf Kosten der Entwicklungs/Armutsländer die eh schon leiden, auch ohne diese kapitalisten Schweine. Leise deinen Beitrag und hör auf, die Globalisation zu beführworten und warne andere Menschen vor den Gefahren und der Ungerechtigkeit der Globalisierten Welt.

Globalising the Brand: Looking Beyond Lower Costs
While many multinational firms are choosing to outsource services and production to Asia, one company says it’s looking beyond lowering costs and is aiming to ‘globalise its corporate brand’ by developing a major R&D base in India. Wim Elfrink of Cisco Systems, who holds the unique corporate title of Chief Globalisation Officer, says cost differentiation at the company is “a bonus, but the not the main driver anymore.” The networking firm is investing around 1.2 billion dollars in a globalisation centre in India to tap not only the region’s growth but also its innovative capabilities.

Globalisation: threat or hope?
Posted by admin in Tribal Violence on January 28, 2009
Globalisation and the financial crisis are put under the microscope in the context of recent events, which have shown how interdependent the world is. Common values should unite people, but what about common losses, and who should be responsible for them? Many blame globalistation. We analyse this and consider if the world has other options to develop? We discuss it with two people with opposing views on globalisation, Alla Glinchikova and Daniel Klein.

Globalization: Beat Unemployment And Jobs Outsourcing
Continents and countries are getting closer with technologies and science. With airplanes, Internet, phones and computing, the distances between countries have been shortened and communications have become more immediate and interactive.
As such, companies can have different parts of their plants operating from different locations, without sacrificing the quality of the products and the delivery time.
Riding on low exchange rates of these countries, companies can be certain of bigger profit margins since they will have lower costs.
This is the effect of globalisation.
It’s happening everywhere.
Many factories are being set up in the developing and undeveloped countries. Call centres of almost all the big organisations are now in India and China. Even the glamorous Hollywood has also outsourced some of their creative process to India.
The impact?
Many have lost their jobs.
And these jobs are likely never to return.
Outcome? More protests and strikes against globalisation.
But those who are most affected are these workers who have lost their jobs and their families.
They have to worry about paying electricity bills especially during winter, paying rents, food, and their bleak future. Their children may have to stop going to schools and they will have no presents for Christmas and birthdays. The families may have to starve.
The worst that could happen is having no money to pay medical bills.
These workers are likely to encounter difficulties in finding jobs, partly due to their ages (they are likely to be in the middle-age or fifties). And most organisations are not giving these workers chances of employments.
The reason behind is that they can employ younger workers with lower salaries, yet they can work and learn faster, thus increasing productivity.
But the effect of globalisation has spread to recent graduates. Many young graduates are finding it hard to find jobs that pay a reasonable high salary.
Even those who are able to secure jobs are unhappy and insecure. There is no job security, anytime anyone can be retrenched or fired.
Is there a way out?
Can you still find jobs?
The answer is yes. You must know where to look.
To beat unemployment caused by globalisation and jobs outsourcing, you have to look for jobs in countries where these jobs have been outsourced. In other word, you have to become a global worker, one who can work in any part of the world.
Currently, the best place to work will be in Asia.
Asia is experiencing rapid economic boom and there are many opportunities awaiting you.
Even with Asia’s low exchange rates, you can still earn and make a living. The low living standards made up for it.
The best part of working in these countries is that there are vast opportunities and with many projects still to be developed, your skills and knowledge are in hot demand.
In return, you will gain precious experiences that you can add to your resume and they will become your advantages in your next job application when you return home.
So if you are prepared to take the risk to move to these countries, you will surely find a job.
