This special issue will focus on various aspects of business and globalisation. Globalisation is the process of creating a truly global market and involves an overall increase in international trade, which includes the flow of labour, services, goods and capital across international borders. A truly global market is an integrated market for a global trade where buyers and sellers 'meet' from all over the globe to trade, with little barriers to trading. Of course, a pure global market doesn't exist yet, but globalisation is bringing it closer to becoming a reality. Globalisation refers to the changes in the world in which we are moving away from self-contained countries towards a more integrated world. The globalisation of business is the change in a business from a company associated with a single country to one that operates in multiple countries.

The impact of globalisation on business can be placed into two broad categories: market globalisation and production globalisation. Market globalisation is the reduction in barriers to selling in countries other than the home country. This change makes it easier for the company to begin selling products internationally since lower tariffs keep consumer prices lower and fewer restrictions when crossing borders make it easier for a company to enter a foreign market. It also means that companies must consider other cultures when developing their business strategies and potentially adjust their products and marketing messages if they’re not appropriate in the target country. This may not be an issue in the camera industry, but a hamburger company entering India would definitely need to revisit its product and strategies to be successful!

Production globalisation is the sourcing of materials and services from other countries to take advantage of price differences between different nations. For example, you might purchase materials and components for your cameras from multiple countries and then assemble the product in yet another international location to reduce your costs of production. This change should lead to lower prices for consumers since the products cost less to produce. It also impacts jobs, since production may shift from one country to another, usually from more developed countries to less developed countries with lower average wage rates. There are seven interrelated factors that have contributed to the spiralling growth of globalisation. These are the development and expansion of technology, liberalisation of cross-border trade and resource movements, development of services that support international business, growing consumer pressures, increased global competition, changing political situations, and expanded cross-national cooperation.
