Going global: high table stakes, but rich rewards

Article Abstract:

Corporate globalization involves investing in new facilities, equipment and technology infrastructure. However, many companies are implementing globalization programs despite the large amount of money involved in such schemes. This trend can be attributed to the benefits which can be derived from globalization, such as improved profitability and corporate leadership, and the development of well-established infrastructure to facilitate global production and distribution. One organization which shares the vision of these companies is the International Development Research Council (IDRC). The IDRC provides business organizations with information resources which they can use in their globalization efforts.
