To discuss globalization in the 21st Century.
Question Description
Assignment: Create a new thread and write a two paragraph or longer response to the following question – Is Globalization in Decline or Not? What is the proper role for US based companies in their globalization efforts? Can US based companies afford to retreat from global markets?

Specific issues to address include: Do you concur with your classmates’ analysis of the current state of globalization? Do you have any thoughts on your classmates’ analysis of the challenges facing US based companies in global markets?
