Hi, i'm a current student studying Economics... I've been browsing through the forum for some info for my upcoming presentation on Globalisation for International Trade theory and Policy. Although all the discussions are very interesting, they are in-depth, and i cannot include all in my speech. I was wondering if anyone would be as kind as to help give a few pointers regarding 'Globalisation Problems'.... mainly the downsides for economies. Thanks, Veronica Message was edited by: V

Dyson won the patent against hoover for the cyclonic vacuum cleaner. Given the success of Dyson's vacuum cleaners the world over i was quite stunned when reading that Dyson was to close a manufacturing plant in Britain to transfer to one of the developed nations which was due to global pressures. I couldnt' quite get my head around the fact that such a successful product having just been vindicated against copyright fraud, was now allegedly in need of 'cost savings' at the expense of British jobs. Further, increasingly i notice that the service industries in england ie. call centres are moving over to such places as India where they can employ educated staff to feild calls around the world all at significant cost reduction to the organisation concerned.
