    Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services, and allowed companies to become trans-national (TNC’s). Many TNC’s have headquarters located in more economically developed countries (MEDC’s), with manufacturing plants in NIC’s. NIC’s, or Newly Industrialised countries and normally in the first stages of development, such as China or India. There have been three phases of NIC’s, the first being the Asian Tigers which since the 1960’s have experienced rapid industrialisation and are now developing socially and politically. The second was other South East Asian countries that decided to mirror the Asian tigers, and finally came China and India in phase three. These two countries have been targets for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) since the 1990’s when they started seeing economic growth.…

    The characteristics of the global motor vehicle industry are a boom in certain places and a bust in others all due to economic conditions in different nations. Four years after tow of Detroit Michigan’s big three went into bankruptcy American car makers are going “full throttle” with sales in August hitting an annual rate that if substantiated can take them back over 16 million and that is a rate that was last hit before the economic crisis and 80% higher than 2009 when GM and Chrysler went into bankruptcy. The opposite is happening in Europe being in its sixth year slump now and with a weak economy, high petroleum prices and an aging population being weighing factors on mass market car makers. This has led to cost cutting and over capacity for European car makers. This seems to be a trend worldwide as well as car makers are depending on there luxury brands to make them profitable. Tata has seen a profit due to Jaguar and Land Rover surging there net sales up 71% to 566 million dollars and raising revenues 31% to 568.82 billion rupees. This came dispute as the company said “a weak operating environment in the India business which was more than offset by increasing wholesale volumes and richer product and market mixes at JLR”. This is similar to Renault depending on Nissan and sales of cars produced in low cost factories in Romania to cover domestic losses. Mercedes and BMW are generating healthy profits but Volkswagen despite having a leading European market share relies on Audi for 60% of there profits. This is the same story for Tata as Mahantesh Sabarad, an analyst at Fortune Financial Services India Ltd. Stated that JLR is driving more than 100% of the profit while the parent is incurring losses.…
