FOUNDATIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

Today’s LEQ: Why is globalization so controversial?

What is the WTO?

Promotes international trade and globalization!

Global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business.

WTO Protests: Seattle, 1999 WHO: Union organizers, environmentalists, animal

rights activists, and senior citizens protested during a World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting.

WHAT: Attempt by protesters to shut down the WTO meeting by blocking major roads, breaking windows, engaging police, etc.

WHEN: November 30-December 2, 1999 WHERE: Downtown Seattle, Washington WHY: Protestors believed the WTO policies

promoting greater free trade were bad for the environment, increased world poverty, and only made large corporations wealthy. WTO supporters believe that free trade improves living standards around the world, which in turn leads to increased human rights, literacy rates, and even life expectancies.

McDonaldization!!!

There is a McDonalds in nearly every

country in the world

• A Day in the Life of the Globalization Manager at McDonald's Corporation• By Rebecca Ray, Global Business Editor, LISA Globalization Insider•  • McDonald’s Corporation, the company that Ray Kroc built, has been selling

hamburgers outside of the U.S. for decades. It certainly qualifies as one of the top global brands in today’s marketing vernacular, operating in 119 countries and deriving a significant portion of its revenues from outside of the U.S.

• Each country implements the core McDonald’s menu to which in-country management is free to add localized menu items, e.g., the "Croque McDo" in France, the "Chicken Maharaja Mac" in India and salads in many parts of the world. International in scope, its Hamburger University is designed to deliver training programs targeting different management levels, ranging from restaurant managers to department heads and executives. In addition to the home office campus based in Oak Brook, Illinois in the U.S., there are two in Europe (London and Munich) and one each in Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Sydney.

• McDonald’s training programs are delivered in up to 40 languages, with the primary languages being Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), English (both International/Commonwealth and U.S.), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish for the top markets. The training materials consist of two elements: core content which applies globally for maintaining consistent food quality and services worldwide, and locale-specific content based on local menu items, food safety regulations and labor practices, etc.
