GLOBALIZATION
Definition Name for the process of increasing the connectivity and
interdependence of the world's markets and businesses. This process has
speeded up dramatically in the last two decades as technological advances
make it easier for people to travel, communicate, and do business
internationally. Two major recent driving forces are advances in
telecommunications infrastructure and the rise of the internet. In general,
as economies become more connected to other economies, they have increased
opportunity but also increased competition. Thus, as globalization becomes a
more and more common feature of world economics, powerful pro-globalization
and anti-globalization lobbies have arisen. The pro-globalization lobby
argues that globalization brings about much increased opportunities for
almost everyone, and increased competition is a good thing since it makes
agents of production more efficient. The two most prominent
pro-globalization organizations are the World Trade Organization and the
World Economic Forum. The World Trade Organization is a pan-governmental
entity (which currently has 144 members) that was set up to formulate a set
of rules to govern global trade and capital flows through the process of
member consensus, and to supervise their member countries to ensure that the
rules are being followed. The World Economic Forum, a private foundation,
does not have decision-making power but enjoys a great deal of importance
since it has been effective as a powerful networking forum for many of the
world's business, government and not-profit leaders. The anti-globalization
group argues that certain groups of people who are deprived in terms of
resources are not currently capable of functioning within the increased
competitive pressure that will be brought about by allowing their economies
to be more connected to the rest of the world. Important anti-globalization
organizations include environmental groups like Friends of the Earth and
Greenpeace; international aid organizations like Oxfam; third world
government organizations like the G77; business organizations and trade
unions whose competitiveness is threatened by globalization like the U.S.
textiles and European farm lobby, as well as the Australian and U.S. trade
union movements.

Top 5 Fashion Tips For Work
Whether you're an assistant just starting out, a low-level executive working toward a promotion, or busy manager operating under pressure, your appearance at work should not be neglected. Your fashion at work sends a message about the type of businessperson you are, and it can also help you score points with co-workers and higher ups. Here are the top five tips that high-powered executives give for what to wear to work.
1. Every day is fashion day: It takes time and effort to put together your look every day, but it's definitely worth it. If you get lazy for one day and neglect your outfit, that just might be the day that your boss chooses to evaluate you for a potential promotion. So, make a habit of dressing well every day. When you're first starting out at the job, look around at how everyone else dresses, and go one step better than them. Don't dress so differently that you stick out like a sore thumb, but do stand out.
2. Don't be too casual: Yes, there are plenty of jobs that allow a so-called "casual" dress code, but this doesn't mean that you can go in to work in your sweat pants and flip-flops. In fact, you probably don't even want to go in your everyday casual clothes. Dressing up just a little bit will send the message that you're a professional while also preparing you mentally to get the job done. And if you work somewhere that has casual Fridays, the same rules apply. Use it as an opportunity to dress down a little bit, but you should still dress for work.
3. Don't overdo the make-up and hair: The goal is to look good while also appearing professional and ready to work. This doesn't mean that you have to look as perfectly primped as you would for a date or dressy outing. When it comes to make-up, keep it light and clean. A little bit of sheer foundation, mascara, a neutral liner, and a natural-colored lipstick are the maximum amount you need. And with your hair, try to style it so that it will look good while being out of the way and not requiring fuss.
4. Not too revealing: At work, dressing sexy or suggestively is always a bad idea. Keep the necklines high, the hemlines low, and don't wear anything that's too tight or too revealing. You want to fit in, and while you may want to draw the attention of certain people around the office, you should try to do so with your work, personality, and intelligence, rather than with your physical assets.
5. Have something that makes you stand out: Without going over-the-top, find one feature that you can make your signature. The higher-ups in your company may have a lot of faces and names to keep track of, so if you can give them one thing to associate with you-a haircut, a color, or a frequent accessory-they'll be much more likely to remember you, which can have big effects on your career.
