The aim of this paper is to discuss the impact of globalization in the global economy and
found out the most influential factors that contribute to the growth of international trade. The
impact of globalization has been a topic of argument as some of the critics find this to be the
reason of the economic growth through the international trade benefitting all parts of the world.
On the contrary, some of them find that changing economy of a few countries guided the path of
globalization for which the distribution of wealth and economy were made possible. In this paper
the impact of changing global economy and its impact upon the international business will be
found out from the economic, social and cultural pints of view. In this regard, the analysis of
Globalization, drivers of globalization, international trade, the blocs of nation like UE, entities
like World Trade Organistion, advantages and disadvantage of globalization and the need of
international trade, consumer tastes, trade barriers, government regulation and monetary
currency of the different countries of the world will be done.
The growth in the international trade is influenced by all the factors affecting the global
economy and similarly the global business environment influences the growth and development
of international business.

the economic growth in the nation. This however leads the market to get concentrated fast
including the scope for both the bigger and smaller enterprises and compete domestically. The
globalization has reduced the inequality in an effective way. The rich countries have bigger
brands which are visiting the comparatively underdeveloped countries and strengthening the
economy there. The gap in the market structure and market power between the developed and the
developing nations are chief factors attracting the bigger international brands. By measuring
market concentration in different parts of the world, these brands enter the markets and bring
