Answer to Question 4

Technological innovation is accelerating the pace of globalization. Significant advancements in information technology and transportation methods are making it easier, faster, and less costly to move data, goods, and equipment around the world. Important technological advances include e-mail, videoconferencing, the Internet and the World Wide Web, company intranets and extranets, and advancements in transportation technologies (including GPS and RFID).
Entrepreneurs and small businesses have benefitted from these technological innovations because in this age of globalization, small companies are increasingly active in international trade and investment. Companies are exporting earlier and growing faster, often with help from technology. Traditional distribution channels often gave only large companies access to distant markets, whereas electronic distribution is a cheap and effective alternative for small businesses that sell digitized products. Small companies that sell traditional products also benefit from technology that lowers the cost and difficulties of global communication.
