Think about what you have read
and seen in the news on globalization. Consider the fact that the clothing we
wear, the cars that we drive, the cell phones we use to communicate and the
computers we use to work, are each likely to have been manufactured in whole or
in part in different parts of the world. While there are still companies and
firms that maintain local and national borders, it is almost unheard of in the
21st century that an industry does not maintain an international strategic
position.

From an executive’s position,
identify and explain at least three challenges and opportunities that might
face an international executive over the next five years. Provide possible
solutions of how the executive might address these issues in order for their firm
to maintain a competitive advantage.

Prepare a 4-6 page paper that
describes the impact of globalization on U.S. businesses. In your analysis,
please include information about the impact of at least four economic drivers
that might impact globalization.
