A Globalization Accuracy Keynote by Pankaj Ghemawat
Jonathon Brown — January 24, 2013 — Keynote Trends
This globalization accuracy keynote by Pankaj Ghemawat aims to investigate whether or not the world is truly as integrated as advertised. Ghemawat outlines the commonly held idea on this topic: the world is "flat," meaning borderless. He says this theory is held by people all over the world, students, politicians, pro-globalists and anti-globalists, but may not be entirely accurate. Pro-globalists have an inclination to believe this theory to further their policy agendas, but anti-globalists also follow the theory to fuel their "apocalyptic" warnings.
This keynote is based on Ghemawat's book "World 3.0." To determine the accuracy of this position, he looks at specific indicators like what percentage of the world's population is accounted for by first generation immigrants? 3%, he says. Ghemawat also looks at what percentage of real investment was accounted for by foreign direct investment. Under 10%, he says. Ghemawat asserts that internationalization levels would have to be between 85% and 95% for this theory to be accurate.
Finally, Ghemawat talks about the implications of an inaccurate general outlook on this issue.
