Global Mergers And Acquisitions The Essay

These business choices are responsible for bringing about a stable world economy. Kemal Davis (2005) at the Financial Times and International Finance Corporation, summed it up this way: "Given the scale of the challenge we face, there has never been a more critical time for the private sector, together with government, society and others to work together to build a better globalization for all (online)."

Building a globally-integrated world is a bold goal, but not unattainable. Business must take the lead and create for itself an environment of consumer trust, product quality and safety, and become more socially diverse and politically smart. Business must demonstrate its integrity, and concern for their markets by creating international trade and financial institution laws and oversight that are uniform and enforceable. How businesses take the lead in doing this, the path they choose to pursue, will set the course now for what is to emerge in the future, and upon which depends the stability of the world economy.
