Chapter 10 in Transnational Corporations and Transnational Governance, 2015, pp 271-296 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, many of the barriers to conducting international business have disappeared due to globalization, including the abolishment of trade barriers (e.g., WTO) and, as a consequence, internationalization of services, the development of modern information technology, innovations in logistical flows, the use of English as a global lingua franca and the introduction of international accounting standards. However, at the same time many barriers continue to persist such as national boundaries, local language and psychic distance between cultures. The result is a paradox of globalization.
