Overview and Insights
The world of today is the product of yesterday and is the breeder for the world tomorrow!
Globalization was a certain consequence of the Industrial Revolution, and its growth was the consequence of technological advancements. Economic specialization and the expansion of international trade are the consequences of globalization. And the fast growth of exchange among humans in different continents was a consequence of the internet. And the internet and the long list of social interaction applications that it offers via smartphones has narrowed the cultural understanding gaps among various nations and has produced a generation of consumers (Gen Z) that are more similar in their attitude and outlooks than any other group of consumers. So, have we become a “global village” where everyone loves everyone, and everyone looks like everyone else, and everyone has the same resources and opportunities like everyone else in the world? Can we ignore cultural, social, political, and legal barriers? Can we ditch bad governments and stick with the better ones in other countries and choose their ways of life? Can we sell whatever we want whenever we want to sell it wherever we wish to sell it? Has the world and its population, politics, and globalization stopped evolving? What else is on the horizon?
It was much easier to answer those questions before the beginning of the year 2020—in other words, before COVID-19 hit the world. Did globalization help to overcome the pandemic? Or did it make it worse? In what ways? And what to watch for? And what to be hopeful for? What to avoid? And what to take advantage of in the international market?
The above are among many questions that international business adventurists need to find answers for before they venture into the global market. Opportunities have evolved, but so have risks!
