5. Given 3 Activities: Let’s do Activity 2
Consider 3 real life examples, viz.,
A product
A company
An industry.
Now endeavour to assess the impact of globalisation on them.
Inquiry questions:
What do you see?
What is the extent of benefits & losses on each of them
What does the future hold to these entries with globalisation marching ahead with all its promises & pitfalls?
Notes: Browse the web to find these entities. The product and the company may be from the same industry or from different ones. You may start with a definition of globalisation and its pros and cons. A discussion may follow to analyse the impact on the actual company, its product and industry. Read chapter 1 of Hill (2013) could be a good start.
