different transportation services, online technology which influence to run the business
operations online at multiple nation. In context to the Vodafone technological driver is the
developing internet and gadgets technologies, which influence them to provide their services at
multinational level. Such broadband development influenced them to provide that type of
services with the support of online technology and transportation technology.

Political drivers- That is the driver which involve the variant factors such as the trading
rules and political decision. Which influence the foreign exchange of product and services,
because without the legal permission company can not trade in the foreign nation so this is the
driver which posses both effects on globalisation positive and negative.
Market drivers- The developing competition of the market and its saturation is the
factor which drive them towards the plan of globalisation for the business growth and
opportunities. Due to the multiple brand for the similar services at same place, business
organisation faces the huge problem in growth and sale. So this is another factor which drive the
company's to work at global level by exploring the other customer's and target market which
require their services. At percent Vodafone operates their services in the different area of Asia,
Africa, Europe, and Oceania. Between the mobile operator groups globally.

country and this can be beneficial for the organisation in terms of business globalisation.
Because it offer the different profit margin and different assets cost through which company can

go for the global level business and competition which can make them multinational brand with
different values (Hamilton and Webster, 2018). This is the factor which force the small and all
the other range business company's to grow at the global level in order to meet competitive
edges. Vodafone division of the enterprise provide the IT and telecommunications services to
their corporate Clint of 150 countries.
