In fact I would say as the most adapted changes of all time. The rise of a global economy has brought the world to a common understanding and made earth an interdependent place to live in. We are stirring towards an economy in which barriers tumbling; apparent space is dwindling due to advances in technology and transportation. There is an emergence of a global culture looking similar and general economies are amalgamating into an interdependent global economic system. Globalization due to technology and communication has resulted in the arrangement of a “Global Village”. The companies should learn how to battle in an altering atmosphere and these are the ways in which the companies can do this:
  • Recognize the changing environment.
  • Adapt to the environment without compromising principles.
  • Not assuming problems would automatically disappear.
  • Keep corporate communication connected to strategy.
