Study Notes
Global Business Objectives
- Profitability: A fundamental goal of all businesses, regardless of scale or location.
- Growth: Expanding operations, increasing market share, and reaching new customer bases globally are key drivers of growth.
- Sustainability: Balancing economic prosperity with social and environmental responsibilities.
- Innovation: Developing new products, services, and processes to stay competitive in the ever-evolving global marketplace.
- Customer Satisfaction: Meeting customer needs and expectations worldwide, driving loyalty and brand advocacy.
- Social Responsibility: Acting ethically and contributing positively to the communities in which they operate.
Objectives Not Aligned with Global Business Goals
- Short-term profit maximization at the expense of long-term sustainability. While profit is important, prioritizing short-term gains can compromise the long-term viability of a global business and its impact on the environment and communities.
- Exploitation of workers or resources in developing countries. Ethical and sustainable practices are crucial in a global context, and exploiting workers or resources undermines the principles of fair trade and social responsibility.
- Neglecting local cultures and customs. Globalization necessitates respecting and adapting to different cultural norms and practices in order to build trust and succeed in diverse markets.
- Prioritizing shareholder interests over stakeholder interests. Global businesses have responsibilities to a wide range of stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and local communities.
