How does purchasing power parity (PPP) affect the gross domestic product (GDP)? ANSWER: Overall, emerging economies contribute approximately 50% of the global gross domestic product (GDP) In 1990, they accounted for less than one-third of a much smaller world GDP. Note that this percentage is adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), which is an adjustment to reflect the differences in cost of living. Using official (nominal) exchange rates without adjusting for PPP, emerging economies contribute about 30% of the global GDP. Why is there such a huge difference between the two measures? Because the cost of living (such as housing and haircuts) in emerging economies tends to be lower than that in developed economies. For instance, US$1 spent in Mexico can buy a lot more than US$1 spent in the United States 72. Summarize the Great Transformation ANSWER: Overall, the Great Transformation of the global economy is embodied by the tremendous shift in economic weight and engines of growth toward emerging economies in general and BRIC(S) in particular. Led by BRIC(S), emerging economies accomplished "the biggest economic transformation in modern economy,” according to the Economist. In China, per capita income doubled in about ten years, an achievement that took Britain 150 years and the United States 50 years as they industrialized 73. How is reverse innovation helping emerging economies? ANSWER: One interesting recent development out of emerging economies is reverse innovation—an innovation that is adopted first in emerging economies and then diffused around the world. Traditionally, innovations are generated by Triad-based multinationals, with the needs and wants of rich customers at the top of the pyramid in mind. When such multinationals entered lower-income economies, they tended to simplify the product features and lower prices. In other words, the innovation flow is top-down The reverse innovation movement suggests that emerging economies are no longer merely low-cost production locations or attractive new markets (hence the term “emerging markets”). They are also sources of new innovations that may not only grow out of BoP markets, but also have the potential to go uphill to penetrate into the top of the global economic pyramid 74. How can gaining knowledge of global business advance someone's career? ANSWER: Because many ambitious students aspire to join the top ranks of large firms, expertise in global business is often a prerequisite. Today, it is increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to find top managers at large firms without significant global competence. Of course, eventually, hands-on experience, not merely knowledge acquired from this course, will be required. However, mastery of the knowledge of, and demonstration of interest in, global business during your education will set you apart as a more ideal candidate to be selected as an expatriate manager (“expat”)—a manager who works abroad—to gain such an experience Copyright Cengage Learning Powered by Cognero Page 13 Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/Test-Bank-for-Global-Business-4th-Edition-by-Peng Test Bank for Global Business 4th Edition by Peng Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/Test-Bank-for-Global-Business-4th-Edition-by-Peng Name: Class: Date: Chapter 1—Globalizing Business 75. Explain the success and failure of global firms based on institution- and resource-based views ANSWER: An institution-based view suggests that the success and failure of firms are enabled and constrained by institutions. By institutions, we mean the rules of the game. Doing business around the globe requires intimate knowledge about both formal rules (such as laws) and informal rules (such as values) that govern competition in various countries. Firms that do not do their homework and thus remain ignorant of the rules of the game in a certain country are not likely to emerge as winners While the institution-based view primarily deals with the external environment, the resource-based view focuses on a firm’s internal resources and capabilities. It starts with a simple observation: In harsh, unattractive environments, most firms either suffer or exit. However, against all odds, a few superstars thrive in these environments 76. Elaborate on the three prevalent views of globalization ANSWER: Depending on what sources you read, globalization could be a new force sweeping through the world in recent times a long-run historical evolution since the dawn of human history a pendulum that swings from one extreme to another from time to time First, opponents of globalization suggest that it is a new phenomenon beginning in the late 20th century, driven by recent technological innovations and a Western ideology focused on exploiting and dominating the world through MNEs. A second view contends that globalization has always been part and parcel of human history. A third view suggests that globalization is the “closer integration of the countries and peoples of the world which has been brought about by the enormous reduction of the costs of transportation and communication, and the breaking down of artificial barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge, and (to a lesser extent) people across borders.” Copyright Cengage Learning Powered by Cognero Page 14 Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/Test-Bank-for-Global-Business-4th-Edition-by-Peng Test Bank for Global Business 4th Edition by Peng Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/Test-Bank-for-Global-Business-4th-Edition-by-Peng Name: Class: Date: Chapter 1—Globalizing Business 77. Explain the pendulum view of globalization ANSWER: The pendulum view probably makes the most sense because it can help us understand the ups and downs of globalization. The current era of globalization originated in the aftermath of World War II, when major Western countries committed to global trade and investment. However, between the 1950s and the 1970s, this view was not widely shared. Countries focused on fostering and protecting domestic industries. But refusing to participate in global trade and investment ended up breeding uncompetitive industries In contrast, four developing economies in Asia—Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan— earned their stripes as the “Four Tigers” by participating in the global economy. They became the only economies once recognized as less developed (low-income) by the World Bank to have subsequently achieved developed (high-income) status. Inspired by the Four Tigers, more countries and regions realized that joining the global economy was a must. As these countries started to emerge as new players in the global economy globalization rapidly accelerated However, globalization, like a pendulum, is unable to keep going in one direction. Rapid globalization in the 1990s and the 2000s saw some significant backlash. Then in the mid-2000s, however, worldwide GDP, cross-border trade, and per capita GDP all soared to historically high levels. Unfortunately, the party suddenly ended in 2008. The 2008–2009 global economic crisis showed, for better or worse, how interconnected the global economy has become. Numerous governments had to bail out their own troubled banks. Global output, trade, and investment plummeted, while unemployment skyrocketed. The 2008–2009 crisis became known as the Great Recession. Many people blamed globalization for the Great Recession After unprecedented government intervention in developed economies, confidence was growing that the global economy had turned the corner and that the recession was ending. However, starting in 2010, the Greek debt crisis and then the broader PIGS debt crisis erupted. The already-slow recovery in Europe thus became slower, and unemployment hovered at very high levels The recovery has seen more protectionist measures, since the stimulus packages and job-creation schemes of various governments often emphasize “buy national” and “hire locals.” In short, the pendulum is swinging back. In other words, globalization has both rosy and dark sides, and these change over time 78. Explain the role of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in globalization ANSWER: Many of the opponents of globalization are nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), such as environmentalists, human rights activists, and consumer groups. Ignoring them will be a grave failure when doing business around the globe. Instead of viewing NGOs as opponents, many firms view them as partners. NGOs do raise a valid point when they insist that firms, especially MNEs, should have a broader concern for the various stakeholders affected by the actions of MNEs actions around the world. At present, this view is increasingly moving from the peripheral to the mainstream Copyright Cengage Learning Powered by Cognero Page 15 Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu/Test-Bank-for-Global-Business-4th-Edition-by-Peng ... https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Test Bank for Global Business 4th Edition by Peng Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Name: Class: ... https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Test Bank for Global Business 4th Edition by Peng Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Name: Class: ... https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Test Bank for Global Business 4th Edition by Peng Full file at https://TestbankDirect.eu /Test- Bank- for- Global- Business- 4th- Edition- by- Peng Name: Class:
