This is a summary of the PowerPoint:

The PowerPoint focuses on the concept of globalisation and its various aspects. It begins by defining globalisation as the process of greater integration and inter-connectedness between countries, highlighting the main features such as the growth of international trade, trade liberalisation, enhanced mobility of labour and capital, increased cultural exchange, and the rise of multinational corporations (MNCs).

The presentation also covers trading blocs, explaining how groups of countries agree to trade together freely, with examples like the European Union (EU) and the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA). It discusses the role of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in promoting free trade and reducing trade barriers.

Additionally, the presentation explores the impact of globalisation on businesses and economies, including the benefits such as improved allocation of resources, increased specialisation, and greater competition, as well as the potential downsides like inequality, environmental impacts, and structural unemployment.

The role of MNCs in globalisation is also highlighted, noting their influence on capital inflows, economies of scale, employment, and infrastructure development. However, it also points out the negative aspects, such as the profit motive, impact on small firms, environmental impact, and exploitation.

Finally, the presentation addresses barriers to international business, including protectionist measures like tariffs, customs duties, quotas, and legal restrictions, as well as other barriers such as exchange rate volatility, legal and regulatory systems, and economic sanctions.
