their company and spreading world wide there is so many difficulties competitors and
copy right are trying to take over their reputation , as Starbucks is famous around the
world it needs to translate and change their description on the way the language of the
country they are managing.

3. ) What are the driving forces behind the globalization?

 Cultural exchange
Cultural exchange has been one of the biggest drivers of globalization. People travel
to different countries and share their cultural beliefs and practices with each other.
Through this process, a cultural understanding takes place which drives globalization.
 Low barriers to trade and investment
This also drives globalization significantly. Many of the world trades are currently
done through free trade, bilateral, and multilateral agreements. Interestingly, countries
which were very hostile or unfriendly to foreign investment few years ago, are
inviting other countries for inward foreign direct investment (FDI). China is a very
good example in this regard.
 Technological change
Technology is also an important driver of globalization. Advanced E-commerce
system has made the emergence of companies such as ‘Amazon.com’, ‘Alibaba.com’,
‘ebay.com’, and many others possible and successful. Many US and UK companies
have outsourced many of their business activities to countries such as China, India,
Mexico, Turkey, Bangladesh, and many others. This technological revolution enables
traders from remote parts of the world to sell their products/services to customers
around the world on virtual platforms.
