Module 7

After readying the chapters assigned to us I learned that some countries or regions are better at doing some things than other countries or regions because some countries may be better at specific things such as shipping to other by have a port of air strip close to them.   Whereas other may need to have additional cost just to get the materials to those areas where they can be shipped out.  Another advantage is being about to create the good with the raw materials that you have from your home land rather than having to ship materials in you could make or grow them yourselves. Other advantages that are having the work force available to be able to get the work done that is available.

     Self directed consumers are the way that people lead to other businesses through the way they react to the way they feel about a company publically.  Face book for me and many others now has become a huge part of people’s lives and every day I hear about some company that someone got screwed over by and they want to let everyone know that it was not right and want to change the way that people feel about them.  Other way that it is changing is through Twitter I have never personally used twitter but I know that many celebrities do and we are always hearing their opinion on something that they believe is true and you can see the way that people react to that and it can hurt the way that other feel about that company.

     The third and final question was about is globalization mean Americanization? I thought a lot about this and realized that American culture has become a huge part of the global culture but I still think that we will always have cultures around the world that want to keep it the way that they were born into.  Americanization is happening to everyone and people are having to change to make moves up in the business world since America is such a huge part of the global economy.
