Globalisation is a broad term which integrates many activities where different business
organizations works on international level to support the exchange and import of goods and
services to the consumers. This term defines the exchange and flow of ideas across different
countries along with the flow of capital and services (Milkovic, Dvorski and Boljuncic, 2018).
Economy integration is one of the main perspective which the globalisation supports. Various
economic, environmental and political factors have direct influence on the globalisation of goods
and services. There are various purpose of globalization through which it highlights and supports
and local or new business in the market. From helping the organisations to become more
competitive by exchange of ideas and focussing on the new trends in global business world

platform for international trade (Lyulyov and et.al., 2021). The new and small business have got

product sale in the market and set new goals to further expand the business. The integration of a

position to the organisations which helps to keep the low cost of the inputs and raw materials.
