of world views, products, ideas and other aspects of culture.

2015), or 24.7 percent of total sales. Total revenue: $420 billion.
4. Wal-Mart and Globalization at china
Wal-Mart accounted for approximately 9.3% of total U.S. imports from China
between 2001 and 2006 which is equal to $185 billion
Wal-Mart exports only a negligible amount to China, accounting for at most 0.2%
of total U.S. exports to China.
Wal-Mart was responsible for a $17.1 billion increase in the U.S. trade deficit
between 2001 and 2006.
REASON
80% of Wal-Mart’s global suppliers are based in China. From toys to apparels to
household goods, most of the Wal-Mart’s products are either manufactured in China,
or have Chinese components in them Because labour cost is very less in china and
there are industry friendly policies framed by the government.
5. WALMART AND INDIA
In November 2006, the company announced a joint venture with Bharti Enterprises to open
retail stores in India. As foreign corporations were not allowed to directly enter the retail sector
in India,Bharti Walmart operates stores in India under the brand name "Best Price Modern
Wholesale.
Wal-Mart has its eyes on India after the currency re-evaluation problems with China, which
could make producing goods in China costlier.
Apparels from India make up 30% of sourcing from India and its likely to rise even more.
Cheaper raw material and availability of labour allow Indian companies to reduce production
lead time, which is important to the retail industry.
With China’s higher tax on exports and Yuan revaluation, the Chinese textile suppliers to Wal-
Mart have already relocated to India for manufacturing.
Wal-Mart itself buys $1billion worth of goods from India. Not only the Chinese, but also
suppliers from Singapore and Middle East are opting to shift production to India.
6. McDonalds

analyses the local taste developments and foods of the area.

geography, seasons, religions and cultures of the regions. This way the managers of
McDonald’s ensure that their products are in accordance with the local tastes and would not
offend the native culture or traditions.

meat only, sine the Hindu religion forbids red meat. Likewise, spicy flavoured food was the
local trend, and McDonald’s instantly adopted the local culture.

14. POSITIVE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATIO
Greater competition among producers resulting from globalization is a great advantage to
consumers as there is greater choice before them. Consumers now enjoy improved quality
and lower prices for several products.
Due to globalization many MNCs have increased their investments in India. This means
thousands of people are getting highly paid jobs .
Local companies supplying raw materials, to these industries have prospered.
Top companies have benefit from increased competition ,they have invested in newer
technology and production methods and raised their production standards.
Some Indian companies have gained from successful collaborations and foreign companies,
Large India companies have emerged as multinationals like Tata motors.
Created new opportunities for Indian companies providing services ,particularly in the IT
fields. Services such as data entry ,accounting, and administration tasks are now being done
cheaply in India and exported to developed countries.
15. NEGATIVE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION
RISING COMPETITION
Liberalization of foreign trade policies allowed the import of electronic goods at a
very
cheap cost. Local producers of electronic goods were not able to meet with this
challenge.
MNCs flooded the market with quality products at a cheap price. Local producer
are not
able to compete with this and are put to hardship as their goods do not have a
market.
UNCERTAIN EMPLOYMENT
In order to compete in the world market exporters try and cut labor costs. Workers
are denied their fair share of benefits as manufacturers are always on the look out
