Globalization Effect on Labor Markets Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

ABSTRACT

When a country integrates its operations with other countries, it is said to have achieved globalization, but not every country will allow you to integrate its operations and it will always ask for benefits in return. In order to achieve globalization, the country needs to be able and willing to give something back otherwise there can be no integrations.

A country needs to develop its ability over time first and then take the next step towards globalization. A country needs to be productive in all its operations, it should adapt to new technology and it should enhance its communication and infrastructure. When the country achieves globalization, it will receive foreign domestic investments, it will be open to trade with foreign countries and even foreign skilled employees will want to work in that country, which would create jobs, increase wages and develop working conditions but globalization does bring some affects, which are not favorable for everyone at all.

Globalization leads to greater focus on technology and demand for skilled labor and less reduces the demand for unskilled labor. Greater focus on technology also brings generation gap, there is a move towards privatization leading to de-layering and layoffs and foreign investments are more likely to go to manufacturing focused countries rather than agricultural focused countries but most importantly with globalization comes foreign bodies that enforce labor laws on countries.

It is clear that globalization enhances the local market making, which competes on the international level and in turn it creates new jobs, increases employment level and wage rate.

WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION

Globalization is an integration process conducted on a global scale. It usually takes place when one nation is able to integrate itself with the world through exchange of views, ideas, culture and their products.

Therefore, a question arises that what are the factors that lead to good market condition supporting enhancement of businesses.
