Answer to Question 2

Globalization is defined as global competition characterized by networks of international linkages that bind countries, institutions, and people in an interdependent global economy. Information technology, more than anything else, is making those networks of international linkages more possible by boosting the efficiency of that connectedness. The Internet is propelling electronic commerce around the world. Companies around the world are linked electronically with employees, customers, distributors, suppliers, and alliance partners in many countries making the world a global marketplace.
