The concept of Globalisation in an organisational context.
From the opinion stated by Carols Wood, 2019, Globalization is refers as the spread of
products, data, innovation and technology around the national borders and societies. In monetary
terms, it essentially broke down as a relationship of countries over the globe cultivated by free
trade. According to the views expressed by Beverly Bird and Carol Kopp, 2019, Globalization is
likewise considered as the procedure of the escalation of financial, political, social and social
interrelationship around worldwide limits. It is essentially gone for the supernatural
5

homogenization of political and financial hypothesis around the globe. In the context of business
globalization assumes immense role in enhancing the operations of each size of businesses at
worldwide level by fulfilling the requirements and needs of individuals.
The benefits of Globalisation over the HR function of Vodafone
According to the opinion analysis of Roslyn Frenz, 2017, globalisation is refers as an
essential aspect which performs vital role in developing operations of business at market place.
Globalisation is effectual in developing opportunities to the businesses to hire skilled employees
for the purpose of increasing the operations of the firm and attain sustainability within new

attainment of higher growth and sustainability. Globalisation is influential for a business to
achieve competitive edge but in it also having few weakness over the HR functions of Vodafone
like corporate and culture difference, employment and tax law, long distance communication
challenges etc. Therefore, these refers to be the key drawbacks that affects the business
operations directly. Due to business expansion in other country, the major issue faced by
Vodafone is the culture difference as each country has their own culture and it is quite tedious
for the business to adopt culture. Tax and employment is the another issue which affects the
profitability of the firm, thus it is required for the business to analyse the employment rate while
6

making expansion, thus each government is belongs from different norms and having their
policies related to the labour law.
The impact of globalisation over the marketing functions of an organisation.
As per the views expressed by Avery Phillips, 2019, Globalisation has had an essential
influence over the marketing management of am organisation at global level. Marketing plays an

marketing operations are helpful for the firm in achieving growth and success via creating
awareness among the people at global era. Globalisation has positive impact over the marketing
operations of an organisation, thus globalisation is effectual in developing opportunities for the
business and this could be resulted in attainment of higher growth and satisfaction. Globalisation
has effective in creating competition and for managing competition it is important for the firm to
making organisational products sand out in nature, therefore marketing could help the business in
promoting organisational goods and services in viable manner. Technology allows for the instant
conversation of information across the world. The development of new and advanced ways to
market products also means additional cost for companies to have the most up-to-date software.
