This is all because of social media and the internet and we don't even really realize it's happening! Globalisation is making our real country borders more vague than they used to, because we are now so connected with other countries.]]> 2016-09-29 16:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127324869 janinewilbrink https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326177 2016-09-29 16:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326177 janinewilbrink https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326415 MacMillan, 2016: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/globalization]]> 2016-09-29 16:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326415 janinewilbrink https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326645 This is a strategic advantage for many companies, as it is now so much easier to work overseas and reach a bigger audience with their product and/or services. More knowledge, because of a multinational team and working environment, but of course it also means more trouble. It's quite a step to start in a new country, that still has other norms and values than the home country. Other than that, it is much easier for companies to grow quickly, compared to only a century ago.]]> 2016-09-29 16:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127326645 janinewilbrink https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127327870 "Globalisation is good for the modern-day citizen."]]> 2016-09-29 16:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/janinewilbrink/globalisationcat/wish/127327870
