Questions
1. Globalization Risks in Business. What are some of the risks that come with the growing
globalization of business?
• Exchange rates. The international monetary system, an eclectic mix of floating and
managed fixed exchange rates, is constantly changing. For example the growth of the
Chinese yuan is now changing the global currency landscape.
• Interest rates. Large fiscal deficits, including the current eurozone crisis, plague most of
the major trading countries of the world, complicating fiscal and monetary policies,
and ultimately, interest rates and exchange rates.
• Many countries experience continuing balance of payments imbalances and, in some
cases, dangerously large deficits and surpluses; all will inevitably move exchange rates.
• Ownership, control, and governance vary radically across the world. The publicly
traded company is not the dominant global business organization—the privately held
or family-owned business is the prevalent structure and their goals and measures of
performance vary dramatically.
, • Global capital markets that normally provide the means to lower a firm's cost of capital,
and even more critically, increase the availability of capital, have in many ways shrunk
in size and have become less open and accessible to many of the world's organizations.
• Financial globalization has resulted in the ebb and flow of capital in and out of both
industrial and emerging markets, greatly complicating financial management
(Chapters 5 and 8).
2. Globalization and the Multinational Enterprise (MNE). The term globalization has
become widely used in recent years. How would you define it?
Narayana Murthy’s quote is a good place to start any discussion of globalization:
“I define globalization as producing where it is most cost-effective, selling where it is most
profitable, and sourcing capital where it is cheapest, without worrying about national boundaries.”
Narayana Murthy, President and CEO, Infosys
3. Assets, Institutions, and Linkages. Which assets play the most critical role in linking the
major institutions that make up the global financial marketplace?
The debt securities issued by governments are the most critical. These low risk or risk-free
assets form the foundation for the creation, trading, and pricing of other financial assets
like bank loans, corporate bonds, and equities (stock). In recent years a number of
additional securities have been created from the existing securities – derivatives, whose
value is based on market value changes in the underlying securities. The health and
security of the global financial system relies on the quality of these assets.
4. Currencies and Symbols. What technological innovation is changing the symbols we use
in the representation of different country currencies?
As currency trading has shifted from verbal telephone conversations to electronic and
digital trading, currency symbols (many of which were not common across alphabetic
platforms like the British pound, £) have been replaced with the ISO-4217 codes, three-
letter currency codes like USD, EUR, and GBP.
5. Eurocurrencies and LIBOR. Why have eurocurrencies and LIBOR remained the
centerpiece of the global financial marketplace for so long?
Eurocurrencies and LIBOR (and there are LIBOR rates for all eurocurrencies) reflect the
“purest” of market driven currencies and instrument rates. They are largely unregulated
and, therefore, reflect freely traded assets whose value is set by the daily global
marketplace.
