Paper Summary:

This paper takes an in-depth look at globalization. The paper discusses the various issues and considerations relating to the challenges of expanding into global markets. According to the paper, the most significant contributor to the rapid rise of globalization over the last decade is the improvement in technology and communication.

From the Paper:

"Purchasing power parity (PPP) means a state of equilibrium in the exchange rate between currencies. Hence a product selling at a particular price locally and abroad sells at the same price level when the exchange rate is taken into consideration. A McDonald's hamburger in the United States and in the United Kingdom for example is to be sold within the same price range when the exchange rate is calculated. McDonald's has had a large amount of success in its global expansion. The reasons for this comprise a number of factors, one of which is the perceived value to the purchaser. In all countries where McDonald's is sold, the customer perceives the value of food purchased for a certain price as economically viable. The food is of the same quality and portion size globally. This kind of stability is valued by the customer."
