Abstract
The paper examines the ideas presented by Noreena Hertz in her book, "The Silent Takeover" on the issue of globalization. It discusses her claim that "the political state has become the corporate state". The paper analyzes the effects and impact of this shift upon democracy in western industrialized nations and argues that minimal democratic controls upon economic forces will ultimately have negative implications on democracies.
From the Paper
"Noreena Hertz, in her book The Silent Takeover, claims that in "the last two decades the balance of power between politics and commerce has shifted....The political state has become the corporate state". In discussing this claim with regard to other writers on the topic of globalisation, this paper will identify the effects and impact of this shift upon democracy in western industrialized nations such as Canada. The thesis will be argued that as the impact of this shift has led to minimal democratic controls upon economic forces that ultimately will have negative implications for our modern democracies."

From the Paper
"Much has been written on the topics of globalization and corporate social responsibility. "Globalization characterises the international setting of business transactions in which U.S. and world multinational companies will increasingly participate over the next several decades" (Carroll 2004). Globalization is a reality that businesses must face if they hope to be successful. Today competition doesn't simply come from competitors located in the same city, state, or even the same country - but can come from anywhere around the globe. As technology advances and geographical boundaries become less and less of a hindrance, operating in this new environment efficiently and effectively becomes critical (Micklethwait & Wooldridge 2000; Smeets 1990). Globalization has increased the mobility of capital (Koechlin 1995). And, with globalization, the rise and decline of world powers instigates global political evolution (Modelski 1996). "

Abstract
This paper explains that the IT department of the Citigroup's Global Corporate and Investment Banking (GCIB) implemented a revolutionary system called Mystic. The author points out that Mystic was designed and developed to not only be a transparent window into the status of all of Citigroup's GCIB IT projects but also a technology catalog, a knowledge library, a reusable asset manager and a global talent manager. The paper relates that Citigroup's Knowledge Center, an incredible asset for the organization, identifies experts in their field, which allows Citigroup to utilize these people as effectively and efficiently as possible, where their skills are needed most.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Inbound logistics includes items such as inventory control, and is one of the facets addressed at Citigroup with the implementation of Mystic. As noted, Mystic is not simply a project monitoring tool, it is also a technology catalog. Citigroup is able to manage their inventory of technology using Mystic to monitor where the technology is being implemented, how effective it is, and to warn as it nears the end of its lifecycle."

Toyota as a Global Corporate Citizen, 2005.
Examines this car manufacturer's strategy of respecting the culture of the country in which it operates.

Abstract
Toyota's incredible success as a truly global corporate power can be attributed to many factors, but the one that sets it apart is its emphasis upon being a "good corporate citizen" of every country in which it does business. This paper shows that by respecting and engaging the culture and communities in which it markets its products, Toyota minimizes concerns over the import status of its products. In the countries where Toyota has established large manufacturing operations, these investments have even given the company favored status in state and local communities as a large employer. The paper shows that these strategies, combined with Toyota's traditional team-oriented and methodology based management, have created a company which can deliver high quality products in an efficient business model.

From the Paper
"Toyota's organization and management methods work seamlessly with their marketing strategy in a way seldom achieved by organizations of their size. As with cities, large corporations often grow organically, and take on infrastructure and organizational characteristics as they acquire new additions. With Toyota, the emphasis has been upon maintaining a single management culture which is flexible enough to adjust the product and marketing strategies to each new market."

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Summary
Analysis/Critical Evaluation
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Globalization's impact in corporate finance in developing countries has thus been enormous, guiding the corporations into the adoptions of new financial and accounting standards, in the increase of their transparency and corporate governance standards, as well as in adopting risk management instruments in order to hedge their commitments on the financial markets. Further more, they are decreasing their financial leverage so as to decrease their debt to equity ratios and develop a more prudent approach. The future participation of corporations in developing countries on international financial markets will most likely increase in trend, as well as in approach."

Abstract
This paper looks at how we live in a world of international 'super companies' and explains what effect this has on us, from our day-to-day lives to greater effects such as the environment and the government. It discusses how whether or not globalisation is a good thing or not is open to debate, with mass support and mass hatred, not only from those in foreign countries. It explores how many like the idea of globalisation, but not in the way that it is carried out with America taking the lead.
From the Paper
"Many see globalisation as purely an economic fact, and to some extent this is the most important aspect of globalisation. The economies of the world have become global with no more state economies as money flows freely around the world with large organisations to ?control? this, such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. This increase in international trade has led to 16 times the amount of goods being traded around the world since 1950. This has made us richer with the creation of many more jobs, and now more opportunities to work abroad as these jobs flow between nations as well as money. According to Professor Garellis, this opening of world markets and harmonisation of international business rules through such agreements as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) puts enormous pressure on business to relocate as a massive labour force that was once unreachable is now reachable, usually at a much lower cost."

Abstract
This paper explains the very harmful role of multinational corporations. Varied sources, linking what multinationals do to harm local development efforts, and the pressures upon countries to have foreign companies, in political terms. Written from a capitalist point of view, but pointing out that globalization and its multinationals point to a short-sighted, bad form of capitalist development. Examples are given from from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
From the Paper
"The paper examines several aspects of globalization, led by the importance of multinational corporations and their impact upon any sort of sustainable development. There are several implications of the processes of globalization that are outlined, with the effect on both developed and undeveloped countries. More than one view of globalization and its effects has been examined, towards a quite critical assessment, and particularly, of the role played by multinational corporations. Some time was devoted to Noam Chomsky's volume,"Profit Over People" and the author's very strong criticism of our so-called Global Order, its links to multinational activity, and much else that Chomsky sees as threatening."

Problems Associated with Globalization
The Constitution and Globalization
From the Paper
"Globalization is the process going on primarily through the last several decades by which large corporations have integrated markets, production, and distribution across national and regional borders, achieving in the process huge profits and also achieving and exercising control over markets to a degree that has come to overshadow the powers of developing nation-states. Multi-national corporations have achieved integration of markets in that they have managed a very high degree of penetration of consumer and financial markets. They have achieved integration of production in that they have organized systems for carrying on the manufacturing and the intellectual processes for making goods and services. They have achieved integration of distribution through control of transportation systems and the development of protocols for the manipulation of tangible and intangible items of value through various bureaucracies."

Corporate Compliance - A Global Convergence, 2005.
An analysis of the global perspective on corporate governance with examples.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 9 sources, £ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the global trend towards ensuring corporate compliance of financial and accounting regulations. Recent measures in Australia, England and Canada as well as the United States are examined. Particularly Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States is examined with its corresponding influence on cost of compliance and convergence of IT and finance department functions.
From the Paper
"The global perspective on corporate governance has evolved with the pace of globalization itself; and justifiably so. With the pace of global expansion and the increasingly complex integration of the world's major economies, corporate governance and oversight are necessary measures to ensure an equitable, level playing field for all participants in the global economy. As Tarantino points out, most of the world's major economies outside of the U.S. may view the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as a gross over reaction yet none would fail to observe that U.S. economic growth is generally outperforming Europe's major economies (2005). He goes on to say that: Forward-thinking public and private companies in the U.S. have taken a proactive approach to regulatory requirements to improve internal controls. They view them as a best practice that will increase their profitability and provide a strategic competitive advantage."

Modern Medicine as State or Corporate Medicine, 2007.
This paper asses whether modern medicine is state medicine or corporate medicine, citing examples from British and American history.
1,467 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer argues that the choice between state and corporate medicine is a relatively recent phenomenon. The writer notes that such a luxury sharply contrasts with the historical development of medical care, specifically during the nineteenth century in Britain and America, which sought, through the interventions of the state, to provide for the poor. From such a perspective, then, this essay posits that modern medicine is less about the choice between state and corporate provision than the foundations state medicine essentially helped create from which corporate medicine later benefited.
From the Paper
"Chadwick believed that many of the illness and diseases which inflicted the poor would be lessened or even eradicated. Importantly, the implication of the lawyer's report was that these measures could only be carried out by the state at a time when Britain subscribed to the creed of political economy, which held the laissez-faire state to be a paramount virtue. Yet following Chadwick's report, a Royal Commission on the Health of Towns was set up, which met between 1843 and 1845, leading to Liverpool creating the first sanitary authority in 1846 which spawned similar bodies elsewhere. By the time the Public Health Act of 1848 was passed the important role of the state was set in stone: a central government department was created as the General Board of Health; local sanitary authorities were invested with powers to coordinate municipal responsibilities; and a local inspection regime was also created that appointed medical health officers. Consequently, by 1853, 284 districts and 103 towns had applied to adopt the Public Health Act. But the crucial characteristic of the Act was that, while it did concede the importance of the role of the state, it did not make the adoption of the Act compulsory."

Nation States Vs. Transnational Corporations, 2008.
This paper explores whether the nation state is still the most powerful actor in global politics.

Abstract
The paper argues that some nation states are still the most powerful actors in global politics, although the prodigious growth of transnational corporations (TNCs) are eroding the power and sovereignty of many of the less developed nation states. The paper utilizes the USA as an example of a state that remains a powerful actor. The paper concludes, however, that given the powerful economic forces that seem to be moulding current events, it is possible that this will not last forever.
From the Paper
"The question of who holds the power in global politics is clearly of pressing interest and concern, as it is the holders of power who will decide the future of our planet. For example, to take the most obvious and pressing current problem: who will decide what our actions should be on global warming? Will it be democratically elected governments of nation states, who have a mandate to protect the best interests of all their citizens? Or will it be TNCs, which have only one mandate - that is, to make as much money as possible? If it is the latter, then our world is in serious trouble, because the best interests of profiteering and the best interests of our planet's ecology are directly at odds with one another. One cannot prosper without the other suffering, and vice versa - at least, not with our existing technologies (Ellwood)."
