Abstract
This report assesses the impact of the relatively new, global economy on organizations and examines attendant issues such as the opposition of globalization as a new type of economy and the more traditional notions of organizational functioning, which this paradigm has replaced. The report examines the impact that the global economy has had on organizations, focusing on how change in this environment has led some firms to react to the new type of economy, while others have taken more of a leading edge. The costs and benefits of these changes in regards to organizations are assessed, as are related issues of free trade in the global economy as opposed to national protectionism. The report provides a look at how changes in the global economy reflect changes in organizational management in terms of how the impact of the global economy is being managed and also presents relevant lessons that can be derived from this process. Before concluding, the report examines the issue of how management can ensure a positive effect on the organizational level.
From the Paper
"Even within the global economy, forms of economic protection can sometimes be justified to foster the growth or development of young industries that would otherwise be overrun, but this type of protectionism is inherently transitory, and is not to be taken as a concrete phenomenon. This ongoing debate between protectionism and free trade has caused many problems in the forum of international trade, specially with the relatively recent political polarization caused by pro- and anti-globalization advocates, and various resolutions have been attempted through various methods to seek a balanced trade policy that takes the arguments of both sides into account."

Abstract
This paper hypothesizes that global companies have an over-growing and dynamic positive impact of the globalization process in terms of increased sales, lower cost, better internal structure and improved competitive status. The hypothesis is derived from the importance of globalization in the present economy as is evident from the explosion of trade liberalization, information technology and international division of labor. The study is based on secondary research conducted on leading firms in the global economy in terms of their sizes, industry and countries.
From the Paper
"Globalization is the hot topic of the new era. It is the subject of profound debate and deliberation by theorists, social scientists, economists, politicians and the like. Proponents of globalization argue that it has nurtured a stream of information exchange, increased the living standards of the poor, integrated and increased the awareness of several cultures worldwide, toppled the previously unleashed forces of communism and propagated democracy in the real sense, increased the purchasing power of all social classes and decreased inequality between the rich and the poor. Corporations are expanding in terms of increased commerce in local and global markets, more efficient and greater productivity of the employees and the firm itself, improved customer service and a better competitive status. In contrast, opponents argue that globalization has created inequality in all dimensions and has materialized the West at the expense of the developing countries."

Abstract
This paper begins by taking a brief look at the positions of both critics and supporters of the global economy. The paper then summarizes and reviews Dani Rodrik's book and points out that Rodrik's book looks past the controversy and, instead, focuses on what factors have allowed the global economy to take hold in nations, which have diverse governments and widely varying amounts of investment capitol. Finally, the paper also discusses the three individual factors that Rodrik claims are responsible for sustained economic growth among developing countries.
From the Paper
"According to the New Dictionary of Global Literacy (2002) a global economy is the international spread of capitalism, and capitalism based economic system, especially in recent decades, across national boundaries and with minimal restrictions by governments. For many reasons the global economy has become hotly controversial, and there are as many critics as supporters of this recent wave of economic evolution. Critics allege that the mechanism by which global economy operates, which are the free markets and free trade, take jobs away from well-paid workers in the wealthy nations while creating sweatshops in the poor ones. Supporters of a global economy insist that the free movement by nations toward capital stimulates investment in poor nations and creates jobs in them. While this may be a temporary shift of investment from established countries to developing nations, the result is a global sharing of wealth which inevitably lifts all peoples, like an oncoming tide lifts all the ships in the harbor."

Defining the Global Political Economy, 2005.
This paper proves that globalization is a phenomenon that occurs within the global political economy and that the former (GPE) can survive and has survived both with and without globalization.

Abstract
The paper is divided into three sections. The first two sections concentrate on definitions for global political economy and globalization. The different definitions for each are reviewed, and the controversies that surround these definitions are also be highlighted. Each section concludes with an attempt to arrive at a comprehensive and acceptable definition for each of the mentioned phenomena. These are followed up by the third section, which, drawing upon the definitions examined, specifically discuss the differences between global political economy and globalization, demonstrating that, while the global political economy can exist without globalization, the existence of globalization requires the presence of a global political economy.
From the Paper
"There is a widespread confusion regarding the meaning of global political economy whereby, according to Professor Henry Tuene of the University of Pennsylvania, some believe it to be interchangeable with the term globalization, and others believe it to be so regarding the term international political economy. However, as shall be later argued, there is a distinct difference between globalization and global political economy. As regards the distinction between global political economy and international political economy, it is expressed in the following quote from Professor Tuene: a global political economy, as opposed to a "national or international [one], would fuse rather than separate the normative and the empirical, and would address the main outlines of the future rather than predict marginal, short-term changes" (523). The point that Professor Tuene is making in this quote is that the international economy has, ever since the development of transportation system that allowed trade between nations, irrespective of distance between them, existed for centuries. However, it was an economy that was based on trade dependencies, and a limited amount of capital flow, as Craig N. Murphy explains (515), and not on interdependency between the various national economies of the world."

WTO in a Global Economy, 2006.
A thorough examination of the role of the World Trade Organization in a global economy.

Abstract
This paper posits that the World Trade Organization (WTO) serves as an example of economic inequalities in the contemporary world. The WTO is an economic organization affecting all aspects of society and the world. It is however, hardly the democratic, transparent institution one would expect it to be. In fact, all rules of the organization are written only with inside corporations in mind. The paper examines the intricacies of the organization to understand why it does not really spread equality.
Outline
Global Economy and the United States.
Drugs in the United States
Mercantilism
Regime Theory
The Triffin Dilemma
From the Paper
"The WTO is further made undemocratic in terms of its dispute panels. These decide cases regarding domestic laws, which might be abolished as a result of being "barriers to trade". These panels comprise three trade bureaucrats, unscreened for conflict of interest. This has negative consequences for environmental and social issues. This includes labor. Countries that actively enforce labor rights are for example disadvantaged, because it is the claim that labor standards are a "barrier to free trade" in terms of cheap labor."

The Global Economy, 2006.
A review of the book, 'The New Global Economy and Developing Countries' by Dani Rodrik.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Dani Rodrik's book, 'The New Global Economy and Developing Countries'. According to the paper, the barriers that once stood in the way of developing a global economy, such as transportation, communication, and currency conversion, have now been taken down by the airline companies, the Internet, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO). The paper further discusses how a country which engages the world in an open mindset is able to import and purchase ideas, goods and services, capital, and institutions because of its positive relationships, and working agreements with other nations.
From the Paper
"Large differences in growth curves exist between developing nations over the past decade. Many countries, such as those in the Pacific Rim, that pursued macroeconomic stability, liberalized trade, and implemented market-based reforms in the early to mid-1980s are now well established as the high performers in the developing world. Their policies have enabled them to better withstand adverse external developments and unpredictable market variables. More recently, many other developing countries have adopted similar policy frameworks and have, in turn, made substantial progress in fostering macroeconomic stability. For many of these countries growth has exceeded expectations, and their prospects are better than they have been for some time. Growth in a number of other developing countries remains weak, however, and there are at present relatively few indications of improvement. Although policy differences do not fully explain the growth experiences among developing countries or within an individual country when compared to its neighbor, over time the lack of economic stability, inadequate and distorted financial markets, unproductive state intrusion, and inward-oriented trade policies all act to restrain growth. Although simple comparisons with the strong performers point to relatively straightforward explanations for the difficulties of low-growth countries, a closer look at their experiences suggests that their failure to grow at more satisfactory rates is attributable to a complex set of interactions among policy failures, poor governance, lack of incentives for reform, and adverse external developments.

Abstract
The writer of this paper explains in-depth why in this era of globalization the American education system is unprepared to deal effectively with the new reality of an interdependent global economy. This paper contains extensive research that proves American education is trailing far behind other industrialized nations, such as Japan and Germany, and as a result needs to be restructured to cater to a globalized economy. The writer details why an improved and effective educational curriculum will better equip young Americans to compete globally.
Topics in this report include:
Curriculum Development
Faculty Development
Need for Geography
Foreign Languages
International Understanding
Interinstitutional Linkages
From the Paper
"Within today's society the idea of accomplishing the highest level of education is essential to succeed. Due to the gradual deterioration of the American education system the hope for a successful future for many appear bleak. This problem arises within the responsibilities of high level administrators, federal and state government who are financially supporting schools and their programs. The concept behind education programs within schools should not only set forth the ability to master reading skills, writing skills and mathematical problem solving, but also prepare each student from the primary and secondary levels with techniques in comprehending the high professional demands in the real world."

Outsourcing and the Global Economy, 2000.
This paper argues against outsourcing and considers it is a determent to the global economy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, although free trade as represented in the outsourcing question is by nature emotional, the truth is the artificial barrier to trade in labor is counterproductive in many senses because it keep prices high for consumers, wastes resources and perhaps stifles innovation. The author points out that outsourcing American jobs is a necessary component of inevitable economic free trade. The paper contends that many people feel that globalization, which is Adam Smith's "invisible hand" at work on a global scale, is inevitable regardless of its intentions.
Table of Contents
Introduction
American Popular Attitudes toward Globalization
Must the United States Participate in Free Trade?
The "Invisible Hand" in the Globalized World
Outsourcing: A Necessary Component of the Global Economy?
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Consider, for example, that many generations of dairy farmers may have stayed on the family farm, raising cow after cow even if no one needed the milk. Further consider the possibility that those farmers may have better used their time to learn an "in demand" skill, or that even their land and financial resources could have helped to meet a real market demand in another area. By not offering an artificial incentive to stay in business (the subsidy), product would not have been over-produced and wasted (perhaps an environmental impact), new and in-demand skills would have been acquired, real demands would have been met, and the price for those demands would have fallen (helping the consumer). Thus, by removing the artificial barrier to real and free trade (perhaps influenced by political pressure), economic well-being is ensured for all parties."

Abstract
This paper examines and compares of the scholarly articles, ?The Gender and Labor Politics of Postmodernity? by Aihwa Ong and ?Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Community? by Arjun Appadurai, which both offer perspectives on the impact of the changing global economy. The paper illustrates how each author takes a different view on the same theories; one investigating the industrial regions of Mexico and Asia, and the other provides background information to support the anthropological concepts.
From the Paper
"In ?The Gender and Labor Politics of Postmodernity? Aihwa Ong discusses the situation in the modern industrial work environment, also focusing on the role of women in this environment. Ong argues that there is a gap between what the literature says is happening and what the real experiences of workers are. In the essay, Ong attempts to show what the real situation is by looking at the labor worlds of Asia and Mexico. Ong then argues two main points. Firstly, that ?industrial modes of domination go beyond production relations strictly construed? (Ong 62). Secondly, Ong argues that worker?s struggles against control are based on what Ong calls ?cultural struggle? rather than class struggle."

Escalating Oil Prices and the Global Economy, 2006.
An essay discussing the relationship between oil prices and the global economy.

Abstract
In an effort to shed some light on the bi-directional relationship between oil prices and the global economy, this paper examines the general and historical effects of oil shocks on present global, regional and national circumstances. Special attention is focused on the macro-economic consequences that escalating oil prices present.
From the Paper
"As stated, global economic performance is largely determined by oil prices. It is not surprising that oil price surges affect various economies differently. Escalating oil prices lead to a general redistribution of income in that it is transferred from importing oil countries to exporting oil nations (Birol, 2004, 3). It is important to note, however, that although economic growth in importing oil countries during oil price hikes takes place, it has historically 'been less than the loss of economic growth in importing countries' (Birol, 2004, p.4). In other words, during oil price hikes, global net growth has always been negative."

Abstract
This paper examines how empirical research has revealed that there are winners and losers in the global system and how abstract feminist theories based on empirical research maintain that women in general are the losers. This paper analyses mainstream global political economy (GPE) theories especially in regard to economic development (Structural Adjustment Policies (SAP), flexibilisation, employment and how the theory and reality are questioned by feminists. It also assesses the UN's 'gender agenda' and gender mainstreaming within the context of feminist critiques.
Outline
Mainstream GPE Theories
Economic Development
Structural Adjustment Policies (SAP)
Flexibilisation
Employment
Gender Agenda: Gender Mainstreaming in the UN
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In radical feminist theory, theory and practice are not separate but are 'rather in a constant and dialectical relationship with each other. Experience leads to the refinement of theory, which itself feeds back into experience, and so on and so on.' Theory should be pragmatic, practical and everyday; political change is effected through personal change. Early feminists criticised realist and liberal economic doctrines as state centric; women's experience was ignored, and where noted, was distorted. "

Abstract
The paper relates that "Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice" was written by Theodore H. Cohn to analyze a variety of issues in global and regional trade policy, theories of international relations and the role of international institutions. The paper provides an evaluation of Chapter Three entitled "The Realist Perspective". The paper posits that Cohn brings complex theoretical issues into a practical and useful framework for the student reader.
From the Paper
"The book Global Political Economy: Theory and Practice was written by Theodore H. Cohn to analyze a variety of issues in global and regional trade policy, theories of international relations and the role of international institutions. It takes a broad overview of the central theoretical currents in International Political Economy (IPE), and explores the key intellectual positions in global political theory. For example, it looks at the positions held by such thinkers as realists (the right-wing), liberals (proponents of free trade) and historical structuralists (the left-wing), and applies these ideas into a real-world context. By offering a centrist position that puts major themes in the world economy into perspective, Cohn allows the reader to relate these abstract notions to concrete practice."
