This helps these firms in minimizing cultural issues and boosting brand value in the same location. Localisation supports entities in order to communicate effectively in local markets and eliminating sensitivities (Lasserre, 2017). Globalisation is the strategy that supports many poor countries and aids in improving their per capita income.
