Literature Review in Business Management
Globalisation: Definitions and Perspectives (Composed by Eric Beerkens, 2006)

Globalization refers to all those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society, global society (p.9).

Albrow

1990

Globality is supplanting modernity (p. 4)

Albrow

1996

The world economy has become so highly interdependent as to make national independence an anachronism, especially in financial markets. The interdependence is driven by science, technology and economics - the forces of modernity.; and these forces, not governments, determined international relations. Thanks to this interdependence, war between modern nations is an impossibility.

Angell

1911

The critical point is that both sides of the coin of global cultural process today are products of the infinitely varied mutual contest of sameness and difference on a stage characterised by radical disjunctures between different sorts of global flows and the uncertain landscapes created in and through these disjunctures.(p. 17)

Appadurai

1990

What is taking place is a process of cultural mixing or hybridization across locations and identities Appadurai

1996

The emergent global order is locked in a major conflict between the consumerist 'McWorld' on the one hand and the identity politics of the 'Jihad' on the other.

Barber

1996

Within the paradigm of the second modernity, however, globalization not only alters the interconnectedness of nation-states and national societies but the internal quality of the social. Whatever constitutes ‘society' and ‘politics' becomes in itself questionable, because the principles of territoriality, collectivity and frontier are becoming questioned. More precisely: the assumed congruence of state and society is broken down and suspended: economic and social ways of acting, working and living no longer take place within the container of the state.

Beck

2000

Globalization ­ however the word is understood ­ sovereignty and state structures.

    Alan Jackson is the founder and owner of Sky Scooters, a small manufacturing company located in San Jose, California. For years, Alan toyed with ideas for a motorized scooter. Seeing the success of the Segway scooter, Alan decided to act. Although his design, the Sky Cruiser, is not as well known as the Segway, it incorporates many of the same benefits. Adding to its appeal, the Sky Cruiser sells for almost $1,000 less than the Segway. Virtually all Sky Cruisers are sold through direct appeals on the QVC shopping network. Overwhelmed by recent demand, Alan has hired his sister, Colette. Colette, a recent business school graduate, has suggested that Alan consider a just-in-time production system. Alan wonders if this would be in his best interest.…

    Interactions among various ethnic groups have, in fact, always been a significant feature of social life. Contact among various societies over time result in change of culture and language. Contacts may have distinct results, such as the borrowing of certain traits or language by one culture from another, or the relative fusion of separate cultures. Early studies of acculturation reacted against the predominant trend of trying to reconstruct cultures of presumably isolated societies. Such works were found faulty for implying that various cultural groups enjoyed an unchanging, pre-contact period. Such studies of contact called attention to resulting social and individual psychological disturbances. Studies today often call attention to the development of one complex world system, in which some societies dominate others economically, politically, socially and linguistically. Many cultural theorists also observe the ways in which cultural groups resist domination and often working against acculturation.…
