Theword is an effort to help small and
medium organisations worldwide to go global by setting
up own offices or to find partners to spread their wings.
We have tried to put maximum effort to bring matters
together to help those who can’t afford to have
own marketing research.
Globalisation is a term for the horizontal and vertical
integration of manufacturing and trade on an international
level.
Trade is increasingly global in scope today. There
are several reasons for this. One significant reason
is technological—because of improved transportation
and communication opportunities today, trade is now more
practical. Thus, consumers and businesses now have access
to the very best products from many different countries.
In part to accommodate these realities, countries in
the last several decades have taken increasing steps
to promote global trade through agreements.
When one looks at an entire country, note that overall
GDP may increase as population increases while its per
capita GDP increases less or even decreases. The nominal
per capita GPD is more useful for determining local consumers’ ability
to buy imported goods, the cost of which are determined
in large measure by the costs in the home market, while
the purchase parity adjusted measure is more useful when
products are produced, at local costs, in the country
of purchase. It should be noted that, in some countries,
income is quite unevenly distributed so that these average
measures may not be very meaningful. In some countries
there is a very large underclass making significantly
less than the national average, and thus, the national
figure is not a good indicator of the purchase power
of the mass market. Similarly, great regional differences
exist within some countries. Thus it is vital for you
to know the GDP growth, buying power, economic status
of the masses, political and beurocratic influences,
cultural behaviour etc.
Culture is a problematic issue for many marketers since
it is inherently nebulous and often difficult to understand.
One may violate the cultural norms of another country
without being informed of this, and people from different
cultures may feel uncomfortable in each other’s
presence without knowing exactly why.
