1. When I think about of ‘globalisation’ such terms like integration and unification come to mind. Globalisation is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide. It is the process by which ideas, knowledge, information etc. spread around the world. If we talk about business globalisation is used in an economic context to describe integrated economies marked by free trade, the free flow of capital among countries, easy access to foreign resources. Globalisation involves not only economic context but it also involves political, cultural and religious integration and unification.
