Convergence globalisation and the management of labour

What extend the globalization affect the management of labor?

Globalization is been continued for centuries. The current phase of this process is the increased mobility of goods and capital, and thus the emergence of the global market in which all parameters are equally the same for the economic game.

Sweeping a statement, the consequences are to be divided into different areas (such as labor, business, environment, etc). We see the consequences in the labor market, one should look at one is no longer regional or national, but worldwide. This increases the labor supply and in some parts of the world like India and China, the cost of living and wages lower than in Brazil. The consequences are dramatic. Parts from local companies are outsourced to cheaper countries. Their respective employees are then likely to be unemployed, the state missing tax revenue, etc. Highly skilled workers are out of competition with the on cheaper wages of people working on the basis of their wages and skills of the Western European standard of living can hardly hold.

Globalization cements the existing division of the world for centuries the center and periphery. Economically developed countries derive greater benefits from it than those of the weak. The first are exporters of goods to the world market, the negative effects of globalization, the other must adapt to the established ways of doing things, making the unequal struggle (often zero-sum game.)

Rapid technological progress in communications is a major factor in the smooth functioning of the corporation. New technologies affect the organization of production and the 'employment relationship. This is due to reason of development of techniques for decreasing distances, like the costs of their presence. It leads to changes in labor market institutions which determine the shape of collective agreements and individual contracts.

Effects of modernization and globalization on the labor market can be viewed in the light of the positive or negative, no doubt. However four key elements of the nature of work caused by the so-called global media revolution are:

Change in working time, the transition from a system of permanent employment to so. Flexible working;

Employment related to the execution of the task and ending after its execution;

Change the location of the production process, the implementation of tasks outside the usual place of work;

These factors allowed the training of new forms of employment, which are becoming increasingly popular. (Stern, 2002, pp. 404-423)

The effect of globalization to ward convergence in Brazil, India and china

Neo-liberal, unregulated globalization has a negative impact on labor markets and undermines shaped by decades of fighting workers' Western model of society. By lowering transport costs and the liquidation of customs barriers, profitable corporations to move production destined for markets in developed countries to Third World countries where labor is cheaper. Even there, forcing workers the lowest wages and the worst working ...
