The article further says that "Japan's grip on the industry has weakened and it is time that the world redesigns the whole supply chain. The article ends with the note that things could go on in a moderate scale for a while and then by the first half of 2012, Japan may come back to the state of overcapacity." (Mutschler, 2002)
Analysis:
In analyzing this article and the impact of a disaster on global management especially supply chain management, while it can be appreciated that there would be some delay and hitches in the recovery of Japan, one cannot go with the prediction of an impending doom in the electronics industry on account of supply closure in the near future. It can be seen that the alternate sources are active and may make use of this scarcity to their advantage. Most multinationals also will not suffer because they have alternate facilities existing. Mutschler (2002) did not take these facts into consideration. For example, one nation that can answer the supply crisis is Philippines. However the entire electronic industry of the country is set up and controlled by U.S. And other nations. There are "Korean, Taiwanese, Singaporean and Malaysian capitalists and bigger companies like Intel, Texas Instruments, Amkor/Anam, Motorola, Phillips, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Acer, Casio, and Sony." (Asia Monitor Resource Centre, 2007)
Further we have the fact that other countries also can supply to the market and Japan has overseas interest in many countries that can balance the production and distribution. In that case the disaster that wreaked Japan may not actually cause problems in the global supply chain as was predicted by Mutschler (2002). Looking at the theory behind it, it can be seen that the international management is always influenced by national interests, and the definition of globalization is simply the way the transnational corporations define it. That has resulted in the hegemonic influence of corporations on the national communities. The lopsided...
This can fluctuate slightly with the economy and with new products that are created and must be launched, but the company is relatively stable in that it generally has a similar level of employees on hand in any given month or year and has had that level of employees since it has recently grown. It is likely that number will continue to rise. Description of products/services General Electric Company makes appliances,
, 2009, p. 80). Even the smallest museums in some of the most out-of-the-way locations "can and do participate in the globalized arena," Holo explains. The leaders of these remote museums, for example the "indigenous communitarian museum leaders in the remote mountains of Oaxaca," who have zero staff, somehow go to meetings at very obscure locations, just to link up with others in the world of art (Holo, 80). However, when
(Stiglitz, 2006) The concept of globalization can be seen in many different ways ranging from the spread of democratic societies throughout the world right down to the film industry. The example I chose to illustrate globalization is the spread of the film industry to India and what has become known as "Bollywood." For years people in India were infatuated with American films. Slowly the Indian film industry took many ideas
Research: As we can see in the preliminary discussion above, in the face of the extension of copyright and patent-heavy cultures from western nations to global trade relationships, the very conflict between capitalism and social progressivism is implicated. Indeed, many socially conscious global economic groups are protesting international intellectual property laws that they say are burdensome to developing economies and which favor the sense of entitlement and ownership typically reserved for
"Child psychiatry has unwittingly contributed to reifying children's mental health," the author explains, and this situation is creating "mental distress" (Timimi, 2009, p. 5). An example of the changes in society due to "aggressive free market global economic systems" is a 14-year-old girl in London who has been behaving in a bizarre way, the author explains. She is from the Indian culture and her parents have arrived in England
Aside from these positive consequences, a free market would negatively affects small entrepreneurs in the meaning that most of them would not possess the necessary resources to compete with international producers and would end up in bankruptcy. Multinational corporations and international organizations Large international corporations have been widely criticized for the destruction of local businesses and for forcing their own products and culture upon other countries.
