What is Globalization?

Globalization refers to the spread or expansion of a company or business entity, technology, information, and consequently jobs across a geopolitical zone, national borders, cultures, and continents. 

In economics, globalization refers to the affiliation between nations resulting from access to free trade.

The term globalization can be a legal, cultural, and political phenomenon. Here are the reasons for this:

  • Globalization leads to better communication with a new population or people (socially)
