Abstract
A paper which discusses the legal and ethical issues involved in operating globally. It is noticed that many multinational companies can run into trouble when establishing their businesses overseas because they fail to take local laws and culture into consideration. The paper shows that this can be avoided if the company pays attention to the religious and cultural beliefs of the people in foreign countries and also abide by the trade and business laws of those lands.
From the Paper
"It is also important to take into account their religious beliefs because religion normally plays an important role in all third world countries. For example in Pakistan, they wouldn?t allow a fast food chain to operate if it doesn?t use HALAL meat. By HALAL, they are simply referring to meat, which has been prepared according to their religious rituals. It is important thus to follow those practices because there is no chance of gaining any success if a fast food or any other restaurant chain forgets to take into account this important law. We are taking examples of restaurants only for the sake of ease and convenience in explanation of laws, but it must be kept in mind that laws applies to every business no matter what its nature is."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the problem of illegal immigration into the USA. According to the paper, recent attempts to address the issue through local enforcement may have unsuspecting consequences and a negative impact on the Latino communities.
From the Paper
"According to critics, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 led to the legalization of vast numbers of undocumented immigrants as a means of reducing unsanctioned immigration, however its main effect was to reinforce and expand established cross-border migration networks and create a thriving business in fraudulent documents (Nevins). These unintended consequences laid the foundation for the anti-immigration backlash that eventually emerged during the 1990's, partially due to political and bureaucratic entrepreneurs who sparked public sentiment by focusing on the border as both the source of the problem and the site of policy solution (Nevins). Others argue that the backlash was not merely against illegal immigrants, but was rather directed against immigrants in general, particularly "the nonwhite, non-English speaking, and the relatively poor" (Nevins). These concerns resulted in a declaration of "war" against unauthorized immigrants which led to a short-term shift in INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) policing tactics along the Mexico-U.S. border and to the massive infusion of enforcement-related resources, such as California's Operation Gatekeeper (Nevins).

Trade-offs & Considerations
Attitude as a Business Tool
From the Paper
"For many enterprises the move into international markets has become not one so much of choice as of necessity. In order to remain competitive and preserve revenue streams in the face of stiff international competition in home markets, enterprises have turned to entering foreign markets in order to remain solvent. In so doing, the enterprise becomes exposed to a whole slew of cultural and communication issues that global multi-national enterprises (MNEs) have been developing competencies to address for many years. These competencies are centered around first developing a market entry strategy based on a mode of entry and then inter-cultural communication, the organization's impact on the local economy of the new market, and the organization's position within the local community."

Abstract
The process of globalization is a form of dialogue between an international business organization and another nation's economy and needs. Globalization involves combining existing business organizational structures with that of a new local culture. The tumult that occurs during an organizational expansion into a new economic environment can be difficult, but productive as well. This paper examines how Bank of America made use of a large, inexpensive, yet relatively well-educated English-speaking work force India. It embraced India's advantages and provided benefits for Indian workers, as well as educational, health and safety safeguards and financial opportunities. The paper shows that even Wal-Mart made use of a large population experienced in garment manufacturing on a mass scale in China and provided substantial benefits to the nation in excess to what the local populace was accustomed to receiving from indigenous companies. In contrast, the paper shows that although Halliburton in Nigeria also initially made use of a lower-cost English speaking former colony, it did so with less effective results because of a perceived insensitivity to national needs, such as its corruption and abuse of the local environment.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are not as many safety and security concerns in India regarding the local population in regards to the banking industry as there are with defense manufacturing. Still, it seems as though, because the company entered into the agreement with a spirit of respect, it has become one of the most popular of "foreign banks" that "are moving more money into India, lured by the rising incomes in Asia's fourth-biggest economy," combined with its cheaper sources of English-speaking and technically experienced labor. (MacDonald & Daga, 2003) Unlike Nigeria, the African nation's economy is not expanding at nearly as quick a pace, thus highlighting the dependency of the Nigerian nation upon Halliburton."

Globalisation and Local Cultures, 2003.
A discussion on why globalisation will not make local cultures disappear.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Through the culmination of evidence and case studies, this paper argues that local cultures around the world are not expected to disappear with increasing globalisation. The crux of the paper centres on the theory that culture is a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon and it uses this reasoning to explain why local cultures are more likely not to lose all aspects of their traditions. It also discusses several theories on cultural change and how these relate to the force of increasing globalisation. The paper contends that we are more likely to see globalised local culture rather than global culture, therefore demonstrating the implausibility in the notion that local culture is likely to disappear.
From the Paper
"For the Gapun people, we find globalisation forcing the hybrid language Tok Pisin into becoming the spoken vernacular for the next generation. Tok Pisin or Pidgin English is essentially how most Papua New Guinean communities have collectively interpreted and applied the English language to their own culture. In Tajikistan, there are many who hold on to socialist ideology while still embracing a traditional Islamic code of behaviour (Rashid 1995). Tomlinson (1999) argues, however, that hybridisation of culture is not a new phenomenon. So if local cultures have always been hybrid, what is the effect of globalisation on them?"

Abstract
The paper focuses on the issues that were presented with the 1980s the slogan "think globally, act locally," which was an admonishment to humanitarians looking for a way to conquer global problems as hunger and disease. The paper suggests that as the world becomes more tightly bound, the slogan could be extended to include other aspects of the world order such as terrorism abuses of multinational corporations, child labor practices, global warming, land mines, oil consumption and pollution.
From the Paper
""Think Globally, Act Locally," A Slogan or Force of Improvement In the 1980's the slogan, "Think Globally, Act Locally," was a popular saying and bumper sticker amongst progressive individuals that sought social justice and humanitarianism through local organization. In the same token, the slogan itself, is still very relevant today with issues like global terrorism, environment, The World Trade Organization, child labor and other issues that could fall into the same category of concern."

Abstract
This paper defines globalization as the name given to the growing connection and dependence experienced by most countries, societies and local cultures in regards to economy, education and technology. The writer of this paper questions whether or not certain cultures should decide to remain individual societies in the face of world globalization. The writer discusses the effects of globalization to the very existence of culture. This paper examines culture and globalization from an anthropological view point while detailing its impact on the village of Ladakh in northern India. The writer contends that the people of Ladakh moved away to the larger cities for better paying jobs while turning away from their village and their sense or responsibility to the community and the land.

From the Paper
"The way traditional lands are used is not the only change globalisation brings. Just as the form of change varies, so do the reactions by individual cultures. The way they react is determined by their cultural way of dealing with problems (Cobb 2005:563-574). These different reactions show part of the diversity among differing peoples around the globe. Some cultures choose to incorporate or adapt to forced change. The Trobriand islanders are an excellent example. The British missionaries frowned on the openly sexual and erotic celebrations of the Trobriand people at the conclusion of the yam harvest (Haviland et al. 2006:688). The ethnocentric reaction of the British missionaries was to introduce the game of cricket to replace the traditional celebrations (Haviland et al. 2006:688). Rather than fighting the change or accepting it completely, the Trobriand people incorporated the game into their celebrations and made it uniquely their own (Haviland et al. 2006:689). In this case the forced change did not replace the old ways, but rather, was absorbed into a new syncretic celebration."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how the advent of e-business has caused many businesses to re-examine many legal issues regarding international trade, particularly in the area of dispute resolution. This paper briefly examines how e-business and the global economy have changed the way many think about agency law.
Outline:
Applications of Agency Law in the Business Environment
Types of Business Entities
E-business and the Global Legal Environment
From the Paper
"Agency law represents a specific set of concepts and doctrines that are applicable to a number of situations in which a person's conduct can have ramifications for the legal position of an entity (Demott, 2006). The actions of a single employee can have an impact on agency liability. Agency law defines the circumstances under which a relationship can be classified as an agency relationship, rather than as the actions of individuals. This can arise from the creation of rights and obligations regarding a transaction, the agent's knowledge of the action, and amount of liability that the agency derives from the acts of the individual.

Abstract
This paper examines the US decision to move forward with a ballistic missile defense system. The author gives a background on the history and technology of ballistic missile defense and then examines the reactions of other countries to the American missile defense decision. Also discussed are the ideological and moral support for missile defense at the state level. Finally, missile defense is analyzed as a political issue in relation to the 2000 elections and as an economic issue for defense contractors and certain parts of the country that stand to gain business from an expanded missile defense.?
From the Paper:
"On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan began one of the most important legacies of the last stage of the Cold War with a speech outlining his Strategic Defense Initiative. The Star Wars program, as it came to be known, immediately created tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as between the US and its allies, and sparked debate over the feasibility, cost, benefits, and consequences of ballistic missile defense (BMD). This debate may not have mattered much when missile defense technology was too immature to make deployment practical or even possible. However, seventeen years later, technology has advanced to the point where the US must decide now whether it wants missile defense in the future. A decision of this magnitude, involving billions of dollars and potentially billions of lives, must be examined closely at all levels of analysis."?

From the Paper
"We constantly see and hear about homelessness, even in our own communities. Homelessness is a growing problem throughout the world, but many of us do not understand how huge the issue is. Homelessness is defined as a condition of people who lack regular legal access to adequate housing (MSN Encarta). In 1999 there was up to 100 million homeless people in the world and in 2000 there was about 3.5 million homeless people in the United States (How Many People Experience Homelessness?, 2002). At least 600 million people live in shelters in developing world cities that are life threatening or health threatening (100 Million Homeless in World). About 50,000 people die everyday as a result of poor shelter, polluted water and inadequate sanitation. The things that cause homelessness throughout the world help bring it into our own communities."

Local Transformation of Global Brands, 2005.
An analysis of "creolization" in global markets, specifically of Barbie products.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores how, in new markets, consumers generate a new commodity meaning. This transformation or process by which foreign goods are assigned novel meanings and uses in diverse cultural settings has been coined "creolization." This essay will identify examples of the "creolization" of Barbie as indicators of how cultures are resisting and negotiating globalization.
From the Paper
"As stated by John Gray in "False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism," globalization is not "a trend towards homogeneity" but rather a system that is dependent on "differences between localities, nations and regions" that create demand for something from somewhere else (57). However, what meaning different regions and cultures apply to goods depends on their own culture. While consumer goods that cross cultural boundaries do not necessarily take on the intentions of their producers or the culture in which they were produced, their meaning as imposed by local cultures do reflect shifts in society."

Abstract
This paper begins by suggesting that Cyberware complete a company SWOT analysis, which focuses on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to a potential launch for a new service through the basic 4 P's of marketing. The author points out that, since high speed internet access seems to be the new approach to obtaining and maintaining a strong customer base, Cyberware should assess a potential partnership with some or all of the local providers. The paper suggests that the Cyberware Word-of-Mouth campaign would create unexpected face-to-face scenario, which would promote its products and services as compared to existing identified competition and to create a buzz of credibility for our ISP services and product lines.

Summary
From the Paper
"The local area in fact has strong purchasing power parity when compared to the rest of the nation and has a mixed blessing of the bulk of its citizens being well over the poverty line. Thus, with a labor force that is strong and household income and consumption also strong, this market would initially appear to be ideal. Ethnicity is diverse. We will require a sound breakdown of both nationalities and religious factions in the area so that direct marketing can address individual needs."
