Abstract
This paper analyzes free trade and market liberalization in terms of the central role women play in market activity and their definitive exclusion from many of the resultant benefits. It shows how free trade, market liberalization and developing markets are all inter-related with gender- based factors. The paper then discusses the gender-related development index (GDI) compiled by the United Nations.

From the Paper
"One unique aspect of the human development perspective vis-a-vis free trade and market liberalization is the central role women play in market activity but also their definitive exclusion from many of the resultant benefits. Past research has illustrated the fact that women, who work in factories contributing both time and labor as well as taxes and spending, are, more often than not, treated as second class citizens in their home markets ("Gender" 1995). This inequality is manifest in women's access to the same education benefits, healthcare treatment, and nutrition services ("Gender" 1995). One of the most unfortunate aspects to this disparity in treatment based on gender is that women are also tasked with caring for the children in these societies and thus, children are also indirectly denied equality of treatment and basic human dignities."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer points out that the United States economy has once again emerged as a growing economy, dramatically and irreversibly impacting the global market. The writer notes that the impacts to the global market lie in the areas of employment, globalization, agriculture, intellectual property, the War on Terror, and the overall U.S. trade deficit. The writer maintains that some of these impacts have been positive for the global market, such as outsourcing and inflated gasoline imports. However, the majority of the impacts caused by the U.S. economy have had devastating effects for third world countries in the areas of technological developments and intellectual property protections. This paper addresses the impacts that the U.S. economy has had on other markets in the world, and concludes with a brief summary of the issues.
From the Paper
"In the area of technological innovation, the United States is also impacting the global market. In the agricultural industry, one quarter of the U.S. economy previously revolved around it; currently, agriculture comprises less than one percent as a result of efficiencies and breakthroughs in technology. Globalization has sparked a revolution in information and communication technology, resulting in the emergence of an Information Age that boasts the arrival of new levels of global interconnectedness. However, this global inter-connectedness has widened the gap between the information-rich and the information-deprived. The technological innovations made by the U.S. has forced individual countries to improve their efficiency or at least reduce the government's role in the economy. Thus, it can be argued that globalization has made the world more interdependent and has increased the damage that internal problems within individual countries can cause."

Abstract
Within the framework of a globalized political economy, aiming towards the eradication of any and all artificial barriers to trade, the question of capital liberalization has become an increasingly critical one. Consequent to the free trade philosophy of globalization, the IMF and World Bank have always argued against the implementation of capital controls or the imposition of barriers towards the free movement of capital across the world. This paper explains that such barriers are negatively perceived as threats to globalization or obstacles to the realization of a global economic system. This paper shows that several member countries, especially those impacted by the Asian financial crisis, adopted a contrary policy, whereby they either tightened existing controls on either capital outflow or inflow or adopted even more stringent capital control mechanisms. Such a policy appears to be contrary to the goal of establishing a liberalized and stable global capital market, functioning in accordance with the principles of rational choice and comparative advantage. However, careful assessment of the arguments for and against capital controls in this paper, together with a review of a pertinent body of factual formal evidence, illustrates that the imposition of capital controls, as opposed to the full liberalization of the global capital market, better serves the purposes of capital market stabilization, efficient allocation of resources, and protection of national economies.
From the Paper
"The third argument in favour of capital liberalization is intimately connected to the factor of financial instability and the importance of equilibrating balance of payments. As noted by Sebastian Edwards (1999), all economies are vulnerable to such external shocks as would upset balance of payments. In order to redress that situation and minimize its negative consequences, it is necessary to balance the current account through capital movements as would restore the equilibrium of the balance of payments and offset potential inflation. The free and unrestricted global movement of capital is, thus, a necessary corollary to the maintenance of balanced current account (Edwards 1999). Consequently, from within the parameters of this last argument, liberalization of capital and the concomitant creation of a thoroughly globalized capital market is strongly founded upon the imperatives of maintaining balanced current accounts."

"Currency takes on a life of its own in the international trading markets. Aside from the value that governments place on their currency, international traders place value that ultimately determines how much any given currency can buy. In recent months, there has been increased attention given to the volatility of the world's currencies, with particular attention given to the American dollar, the Japanese yen, the Deutchemark, and the Mexican peso. This research examines the recent devaluation of the American dollar, the recent performance of the British pound and potential ramifications on the American and world economies.
The Japanese yen, German mark and American dollar are generally considered the world's strongest currencies. Merchants and governments expect these currencies to ... "

"Finally the number of non-family households is increasing. Many young adults leave home and move into apartments, while others choose to remain single, some are widowed or divorced. Now more than 47 percent of all households are non-family or single parent households. This makes up for the fastest growing categories of households. These groups have their own specific needs. For example, they need smaller apartments, inexpensive and smaller appliances, furniture and furnishing and food that is packed in smaller sizes."

Global Marketing, 2005.
This paper analyzes existing literature on effective leadership and communication in international marketing and marketing management.

Abstract
This paper explains that global marketing requires the organization to pay attention to its internal structure, to be prepared to face different regulatory procedures and, above all, to be able to familiarize itself adequately with the culture and practices of the country into which it is expanding operations. The author points out that transnational businesses and international marketing should be organized around strong leadership and teamwork across cultural borders because problems in communication tend to increase with the relative distance of the branch or subsidiary to its headquarters. The paper relates that a certain degree of centralization is doubly important to the company operating internationally because it allows the company to fix prices within certain boundaries and to discourage gray trading.

From the Paper
"Before discussing international marketing further, agreement must be sought in existing literature about the definition of marketing itself as a base concept for comparison. There are many different perspectives to consider when seeking a definition of the word marketing. Kotler, et. al see a modern definition of marketing as the crucial determination of how business are going to succeed in new conditions that are brought about by technological advances and globalization. For example, the authors state that, in the analog economy, most companies operate three different businesses: a product innovation and commercialization business, a customer relationships business, and an operations and infrastructure business, and then go on to note that in the new or digital economy (which also signifies an increase in global marketing efforts with increases in communication technology), these three different businesses are still present, even if they must be dealt with more dynamically than in the past. Generally, these authors see the old economy as a place of stability and control, and oppose it to the new economy, which is a place of constant change and increasing recognition of customer needs globally."

Abstract
Global marketing, one of the elements in globalization, is becoming more important nowadays. This means that the whole world is now becoming a universal market where firms and individual can trade freely regardless of place, time and cost. This essay identifies and explains forces that encourage global marketing activities. Some of the forces discussed are the saturation of domestic markets, worldwide dedication to trade, the advancement in communication and transportation technology and cost saving factors.
From the Paper
"Global marketing, one of the elements in globalization, is becoming more important nowadays. This means that the whole world is now becoming a universal market where firms and individual can trade freely regardless of place, time and cost. One of the globalization measurement, the ratio of world imports to gross world product (GWP), has grown from 7% in 1938 to 10% in 1970 and finally to 18% in 1996. This shows that global trading activities is more active and global marketing is getting more important from time to time. This assignment aims at identify and explain forces that have resulted in increased global integration and the growing importance of global marketing."

Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the arguments for and against the World Trade Organization (WTO) and global trade. It argues that a synthesis approach represents the most realistic and accurate assessment of these issues. The paper suggests that while the operations of the WTO and global trade clearly serve the interests of powerful transnationals in the global marketplace, they also clearly create prosperity and opportunity for millions in less developed countries.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, the evidence is undeniable that international trade and globalization contribute to shared prosperity in many cases; the existence of the Asian "Tigers" is clear proof of this. The case of environmental protection is mixed in this regard, as there does not seem to be any clear correlation between closed and open economies and environmental damage; there are cases of great damage in both examples. However, it is also clear that the WTO does not seem to be supporting the interests of global economic equality in promoting freer trade. Instead, as we have seen, there is compelling evidence that it is, in fact, supporting the interests of powerful corporations even against the expressed interests of western nation-states. Thus, the most accurate conclusion would be that while the WTO and global trade have created shared prosperity for many, they have also reinforced a structural system of global inequality supporting dominance by transnational corporations."

The World Trade Organization and Globalization, 2006.

Abstract
The World Trade Organization or WTO is a relatively new body created in 1995 and one which its founders probably never expected to create the massive controversy that it has generated. It has come to represent globalization, and how one views it tends to reflect how one views the massive corporate expansion of the last few decades. This paper examines the WTO and considers whether it is really a tool working towards world harmony and trade accords that promote global equity or if it is just another example of consolidation of power by global elites to the exclusion of the poor majority.

Abstract
This paper examines the problems that arise with the inexpensive foods that flood the market. The paper first explains how the global food trade can have a negative effect on the agriculture in developing countries. The paper then discusses the possibility of using crops for biofuels and examines the benefits and drawbacks of this solution. The paper concludes by stating that just continuing with the situation as usual is not an option.
From the Paper
"The concept of food trade seems such a simple one on its face. All people must eat in order to survive. If people have a surplus of food, it is better than if they have only a subsistence level of food or an insufficient quantity of food, no matter where that food comes from or what type of food is being produced. Inexpensive food is always better; lower prices mean more people spend less on food and quality of life improves all around. Global trade is better for the food trade because it keeps food prices lower. Finally, more land has to be dedicated to food production. All of these things seem simple and true on their faces, but how reliable are these statements?"

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that in an increasingly globalized marketplace, it is vitally important for enterprises of all types to have reliable and timely information concerning the markets in which they compete. The writer maintains that it is reasonable to assume that obtaining real-world and real-time information about a particular country, especially in developing nations where corruption, piracy or other illegal trade practices are rampant but might not be readily discernible from an outsider's perspective, will play a crucial role in an international venture and will assume new levels of importance in the future. To this end, this paper provides a critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to determine the best approach to conducting market research in emerging economies such as Vietnam. This includes whether to use an Australian or locally based research firm to conduct market research for a given product or service. A summary of the research and salient findings are provided in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"While there are proven approaches that can be followed for domestic or international market research purposes, the question of whether to conduct such market research in-house or to outsource this need to a third-party provider in a host country has become another issue that may not have an easy answer because there are a number of factors to be taken into account in making this determination. For example, if a company outsources their market research needs for a given country to an in-country provider, there may be some fundamental communication issues that will adversely affect the ability of the commissioning company to reap the benefits of such research. According to a study by Scipione, a number of descriptive words and phrases can play a crucial role in creating magnitude or value impressions in the minds of persons who read market research reports and then make business decisions based on them."

Abstract
As a resource-based economy dependent on export markets, the effects of a global economic system are potentially very marked for Canada. If a global economic system comes hand in hand with free trade, liberalized financial institutions and high mobility of capital and labor, Canada's probable outcome can be predicted by contrasting the effects of a global economy with those of the regional NAFTA arrangement. Using this yardstick of measurement, Canada has much to gain from a more global economy. This paper will further elaborate this point.

Abstract
This document discusses the four managerial orientations employed by corporations relative to their foreign operations. The broader thematic forces related to globalization are discussed followed by a review of international marketing trends. Finally, the similarities and differences of the various trade bodies and relationships utilized among countries are examined.
From the Paper
"Management orientations largely define the corporate culture of a given organization. In the highly inter-connected global marketplace, appropriating the most complementary management orientation for a given enterprise is important. The character of the management orientation of an enterprise tends to define corporate decisions related to marketing, human resources, and operations and is usually affected by a series of factors that can be clustered around individual factors, organizational factors, and contextual factors. In other words, the operating environment of a given market influences the type and degree of a particular organization's managerial orientation. The four primary managerial orientations are: ethnocentric, poly-centric, region-centric, and geocentric ."

WTO and Global Trade, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the free trade that it supports. The paper presents and discusses the debate over the WTO and free trade and presents the views of those who support it and are critical of it. It examines the fundamental inequality in global trade that is fostered by the WTO and suggests that global trade serves to support the wealth and power of a global economic elite.
From the Paper
"As this example suggests, while global trade and its associated wealth may be expanding rapidly - a process which the WTO seems to support - in many cases this expansion serves to promote inequality on a global scale instead of shared prosperity. When we consider that only 1/200th of the price of an average coffee beverage is actually paid to the original harvester of the crop, we can understand the extraordinary profits made at different middle stages of the trade before coffee is actually consumed in the wealthy markets of the world. The expanding and highly profitable global trade in coffee thus allows us to understand that while trade may expand and greater wealth is created as a result, this does not necessarily have to be equally or fairly distributed wealth. In fact, in many cases, global trade seems to support greater inequality."

Abstract
This study considers the changes in the functioning and roles of international stock markets. It reviews the history of the London and New York Stock exchanges. A greater number of Asian exchanges are included in this research, because of the significant growth in stock market activity in that region over the past decade. The functioning of stock markets is considered in terms of both structure and technological innovation. The current scenario and emerging trends within stock markets is also reviewed along with an investigation into current electronic trading systems. Intermediaries of electronic trading systems such as day trading are also considered. The argument then focuses on financial networks and the use of complex technology within the financial sphere along with the dangers of ICT. Recent cases of hoaxes, system failures and rogue trading are then analyzed while considering the role of ICT either as a catalyst or a direct cause of such crashes and losses. Furthermore, the case analysis used concludes that further research is required to substantiate this argument and makes some practical recommendations that stock exchanges and other electronic trading systems that can be considered while implementing ICT.
From the Paper
"The integration of stock exchanges and ICT has played a key role in the development of global financial networks. But the link between stock market crashes, insider trading, hoaxes, fraudulent practices and the role of ICT as the cause of such activity is poorly understood."
