Branch Office Economy

Branch office economy in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: the proposition that modern communications technologies enable economic decision-making to be concentrated in a few financial centres, and that smaller economies are no longer their own masters. Holders of this view often expect their governments to take steps to prevent this. They fall into two main groups. The first advocates making the economy more competitive and therefore more attractive to foreign investors through trade and investment liberalization. The second calls for protectionism, though this is usually couched in words like positive intervention, the need for a more modern industry policy and other devices with this intent. See also globalization and internationalization.[1]
