Globalization: the broad-scale changes and transformations that have resulted from the impact of industrialization and the emergence of an interconnected global economy, with the spread of capital, labour, migration, and technology across national borders. Cross-cultural consumption: occurs when a product or service is produced in on culture but consumed in some other culture.
