Chapter 2 Incorporation
Cost Globalization Drivers
• Global Scale Economies – applies when single country
markets are not large enough to allow competitors to achieve
optimum scale
• Steep experience curve effect –
• Sourcing Efficiencies – the market for supplies may allow
centralized purchasing to achieve savings in the cost of
production
• Favorable Logistics – a favorable ratio of sales value to
transportation cost enhances the ability to concentrate
production. It also increases rivalry among existing
competitors by expanding the geographic scope of
competition.
• Difference in country costs (including exchange rates) –
differences in country cost can provide a strong spur to
globalization. Concentration of activities in low cost or high
skilled countries can increase productivity and reduce cost.
• High Product Development costs – This is relative to the size
of national markets and can act as a driver to globalization.
• Rapidly Changing Technology –in products or processes,
usually accompanies high product development costs, and in
itself already increases industry globalization potential.

in countries. (Marriott – Poland, Holiday Inn – Ethiopia)

in one or few countries due to the presence of innovative
competitors.
Ethiopia Competitive Globalization
