Concept of globalisation
Globalisation refers to the process through which business operations of organisation are
planning for operating in more than one country. There is increment in operations of
organisation because they can perform actions with boundary less factors. There is difference
in tax policies which has to be kept in mind by managers to get positive impact on business
growth and development. According to Carol Woods, 2019 There are two types of
globalisation i.e. product and market globalisation. When organisation is thinking to enter in
new market with existing product and services, then it is known as market globalisation. But if
there is product globalisation,then material is selected from other countries. At international
level, it is important to make quality factor in mind.
Factors which assist in driving business success of Unilever PLC
At international level, there are many changes which are taking place such as legal laws and
regulations, political policies, norms, etc. so it is essential fort managers of Unilever to
understand it and make it clear so it can be implemented. According to Rieva Lesonsky, 2019

there are four factors which has to be considered for driving business success i.e. competitors,
demographic market, geographical market, industry. There is requirement of complete and
specific information about new market about new market which makes it easy to understand
which policies has to be framed. There is requirement of proper communication technique
through which it is easy to communicate with workers and make them understood about areas
which for which they are responsible. There is difference in taste and presences of consumers,
so managers of Unilever have to understood it properly to gain good brand image.
Role of globalisation on organisational success in terms of productivity
Globalisation is the process through which organisation can perform business operations in
better and effective manner. As per change in working style of consumers, there is increment
in consumer base as well. So there is increment in productivity and profitability of
organisation. As per view of Fredrik Erixon, 2019 globalisation leads to business growth and
development when managers take care about external market factor and frame business
policies accordingly. For instance: there is change in demand of consumers and there is
requirement of hand cream, so Unilever launches hand cream through which consumers refers
to avail services from them. There are many organisation which are operating in international
market, hence it is crucial for maintaining cost of products and services for consumers. While
working at international level, Unilever is able to achieve economies of scale under which
they can maintain manufacturing cost of products.
