Globalization refers to the shift toward a more integrated and interdependent world economy. Globalization has two facets: 1) the globalization of markets 2) the globalization of production 1) The Globalization Of Markets: The globalization of markets refers to the merging of historically distinct and separate national markets into one huge global marketplace. Ex: In many industries, it is no longer meaningful to talk about the “German market” or the “American market”. Instead, there is only the global market. Falling trade barriers make it easier to sell internationally. The tastes and preferences of consumers are converging on some global norm. Firms help create the global market by offering the same basic products worldwide. 2) The Globalization Of Production: The globalization of production refers to the sourcing of goods and services from locations around the globe to take advantage of national differences in the cost and quality of factors of production like land, labor, and capital Companies compete more effectively by lowering their overall cost structure or improving the quality or functionality of their product offering.

Strategic Communications, its implications in Corporate Social Responsibility, especially as it relates to the United States Military Wow, now if that is not a mouthful, it is no wonder why today and in the future we are going to rely more and more heavily on what we say versus what we actually accomplish.
