Answer 5

1) (A) is right on. All of those technologies are enablers for globalization thanks to faster communications, processing power, and other advances that trickle down into how business is being done today.

2) I'd agree with (D). A command economy is essentially run by the government from the top down. A free market one allows everyone to compete against each other and that's one of the things globalization is trying to encourage.

3) I'd agree with (D). Because a manufacturer can grab stuff from around the world, they HAVE to know what the rules are in the nations they do business with or risk losing their ability to work with them.

4) I agree with (B). As more nations follow reforms, it's becoming more and more important to involve everyone in helping out regardless of gender.

5) I'd agree with (C). As work increases, the demand for talent also increases in the same way. In some ways, it hasn't improved their overall situation depending on where you go, but in others, it has also allowed entrepreneurial women to achieve great success whether it's in China or the United States.
