Introduction
The Internet has wired the world. Today it is just as simple to
communicate with someone on the other side of the world as it
is to talk to someone next door. But keep in mind that many
businesses attempted to outsource different needs in technology,
only to discover that near-sourcing (outsourcing to countries to

This chapter looks at the implications of globalization and the
impact it is having on the world.
What Is Globalization?
Globalization refers to the integration of goods, services, and
culture among the nations of the world. Globalization is not
necessarily a new phenomenon. In many ways globalization has
existed since the days of European colonization. Further advances
in telecommunication and transportation technologies accelerated
globalization. The advent of the the worldwide Internet has made all
nations virtual next door neighbors.
The Internet is truly a worldwide phenomenon. As of December
2017 the Internet was being used by over 4.1 billion people world
wide.

From its initial beginnings in the United States in the 1970s to
the development of the World Wide Web in the 1990s to the social
networks and e-commerce of today, the Internet has continued to
increase the integration between countries, making globalization a
fact of life for citizens all over the world.

The Network Society
In 1996 social-sciences researcher Manuel Castells published The
Rise of the Network Society, in which he identified new ways
economic activity was being organized around the networks that
the new telecommunication technologies had provided. This new,
global economic activity was different from the past, because “it
is an economy with the capacity to work as a unit in real time on
a planetary scale.”

Having a world connected via the Internet has
some massive implications.
The World Is Flat
Thomas Friedman’s 2005 book The World Is Flat uses anecdotal
evidence to present the impact the personal computer, the Internet,
and communication software have had on business, specifically the
impact on globalization. Three eras of globalization are defi.

The Internet of Things (IoT) may be at the core of the next Industrial Revolution! The socioeconomic implications of IoT, in general, are astounding. As with all disruptive technology, there are threats and opportunities that must be understood by business leaders. How do these implications relate to the needs of manufacturing businesses and the human resources that are intertwined with them? How can Product Design address those needs? This closing session will explore these questions and offer solutions.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

3. Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this chapter, you will
be able to:
• Explain the concept of globalization;
• Describe the role of information technology in
globalization;
• Identify the issues experienced by firms as they
face a global economy; and
• Define the digital divide and
explain Nielsen’s three stages
of the digital divide.
4. What Is Globalization?
• Globalization refers to the integration of goods,
services, and culture among the nations of the
world.
• We have been experiencing globalization since
the days of European colonization.
• Advances in telecommunication and
transportation technologies accelerated
globalization.
• The Internet has made all nations
next-door neighbors.
6. The Network Society
• The Rise of the Network Society, 1996.
• We are now into this network society, where
we are all connected on a global scale.
• “it is an economy with the capacity to work as
a unit in real time on a planetary scale.”
(Castells, 2000).
• By 2005 Friedman demonstrated:
The World Is Flat.
7. The three eras of globalization
• Friedman unpacks the impacts that the
personal computer, the Internet, and
communication software have had on
business, specifically the impact they have had
on globalization.
– Globalization 1.0
– Globalization 2.0
– Globalization 3.0
8. Globalization 1.0
• Occurred from 1492 until about 1800.
• Globalization was centered around countries.
• It was about how much horsepower, wind
power, and steam power a country had and
how creatively it was deployed.
• The world shrank from size
“large” to size “medium.”
9. Globalization 2.0
• Occurred from about 1800 until 2000.
• Interrupted only by the two World Wars.
• The dynamic force driving change was
multinational companies.
• The world shrank from size “medium” to size
“small.”
10. Globalization 3.0
• Current era
• The convergence of the personal computer,
fiber-optic Internet connections, and software
has created a “flat-world platform.”
• This platform allows small groups and
individuals to go global.
• The world has shrunk from size “small” to size
“tiny.”
11. IT Technologies and Globalization
• The graphical user interface for personal computers
• The Internet infrastructure
• The open source movement
• Mobile technologies
• The introduction of software to automate and
integrate business processes.
– Software that allows people to work together more easily
– Software that allows different software packages and
databases to integrate with each other more easily.
– i.e. payment processing systems and shipping calculators
12. Advantages of Global Firms
• The new era of globalization allows any
business to become international.
• Advantages of global firms:
– The ability to locate expertise and labor around
the world.
– The ability to operate 24 hours a day.
– A larger market for their products.
13. Challenges of Global Firms
• Infrastructure differences.
• Labor laws and regulations.
• Legal restrictions.
• Language, customs, and preferences.
• International shipping.
• Cultural differences.
15. The Digital Divide
• The Internet is creating a separation between those
who have access to this global network and those who
do not.
• This separation is called the “digital divide”
• Digital Divide that could prevent certain categories of
people— those from low-income households, senior
citizens, single-parent children, the undereducated,
minorities, and residents of rural areas — from
receiving adequate access to the wide variety of
resources offered by computer technology.
(ACM Code of Ethics)
16. The Digital Divide
• The digital divide can occur between countries,
regions, or even neighborhoods.
• In many US cities, there are pockets with little or
no Internet access, while just a few miles away
high-speed broadband is common.
• Solutions to the digital divide have had mixed
success over the years.
– One laptop per child
– Wi Max networks
– Cyber “café” (Coffeehouses with
Internet services)
17. Digital Divide
• Another view of the problem was proposed by
Nielsen (2006).
• This author breaks the digital divide into three
stages:
– The economic divide
– The usability divide
– The empowerment divide
18. Economic Divide
• What is usually called the digital divide is, in
Nielsen’s terms, the economic divide.
• The idea that some people can afford to have a
computer and Internet access while others
cannot.
• Hardware is cheaper today than in the pass.
• In the future computers will be cheaper and more
powerful (Moore’s Law.)
• Nielsen suggest that this cost is not going to be
an issue in the future.
19. Usability Divide
• “technology remains so complicated that many people
couldn’t use a computer even if they got one for free.”
• Even for those who can use a computer, accessing all
the benefits of having one is beyond their
understanding.
• This problem is particularly evident with low literacy
and senior persons.
• Some authors present this problem by separating
“digital natives” VS. “digital immigrants.”
• We know how to solve this problem,
but the solutions is not cost-effective (Nielsen)
20. Empowerment Divide
• Empowerment divide is the most difficult to solve.
• It is concerned with how we use technology to empower
ourselves.
• Very few users truly understand the power that digital
technologies can give them.
• Researchers report that very few people contribute content
to the Internet.
• Few users use advance search
• Many people will limit what they can do online by
accepting the basic default settings of their computers.
• Users do not work to understand how
they can truly be empowered.
21. Summary
• Explained the concept of globalization.
• Described the role of information technology
in globalization.
• Identified the issues experienced by firms as
they face a global economy.
• Defined the digital divide and explain Nielsen’s
three stages of the digital divide.
