Globalization was one of the topics of the UN Summit in Johannesburg (South Africa) this year. According to the meeting globalization has lots of advantages including speed of growth, higher life standarts and new opportunities. However, not all of the countries and people in the wrold can get the benefits of globalization. A lot of countries don't have enough technical capacity, substructures and corporational beings.

The ones who are against globalization claim that globalization would make the riches richer and the poor ones poorer. They also think that globalization is corruptive for local cultures.

Today the world has become as close as it never has been. Individuals and groups can communicate other people without the information of the community

UN Secretary-General has advised a series of advice to Johannesburg Summit in his report in order to spread economical growth and continuation of advancement to all countries and people with the help of globalization. Some of his advices are as the following:

People from different countries can guess what the customers in their own market want.

People with different cultures can have problems with each other sometimes. There are a lot of people who treat foreign people according to how the politics are at those days. Also, there may be misunderstandings between people who speak different languages.

Globalization and business are very close. A globalized firm, which is an international firm, has employees from all over the world, or just the ones from the countries of target markets. Working in an international firm, or directing one has both advantages and disadvantages.

To strengthen World Trade Organization in order to create an international business system with no prejudice and based on rules.

People with different cultures mostly have different ideas. This is a very important tact as new ideas lead to new productions, new promotions and presentations.

In three years, according to a recent study by International Data Corp., 39 percent of people who visit the Internet will seek sites in languages other than English. Yet according to the same study, 55 percent of U.S. companies have done nothing to customize their websites for foreign users. Those that want to be players in the global e-commerce market of $1.6 trillion in 2003 had better ramp up fast on the technical, legal and cultural issues that must be met to make global e-commerce work.
