- It brings opportunities like access to labor, technology, specialization, and diverse products but also challenges like increased competition and income disparity.
- The text highlights both the benefits and drawbacks of globalization, such as increased competition, technology exchange, investment opportunities, and a diverse workforce, while also acknowledging the rise of wealth disparity and challenges to local businesses.
Pepsi's Entry into India
- Pepsi entered India in 1988 after the US market became saturated and due to India's large population.
- India's government interventions in the 1980s made entry difficult, with warnings of facing the same fate as Coca-Cola, which was expelled in 1977.
