Quick questions on Influences on operations: globalisation, technology, quality, CSR (HSC Business Studies)
3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is definition?Show answer
The increasing integration of economies through trade, investment, labour and capital flows.
What are impact on operations?Show answer
Global supply chains expand the supplier base (cheaper inputs, more choice) but increase exposure (geopolitical risk, currency movements, freight cost). Global customer markets expand demand but require new product variants and compliance with foreign regulation.
What is the legal v ethical distinction?Show answer
Legal compliance is the floor - you must do it. Ethical responsibility goes beyond. Coles paying small suppliers in 14 days (when the law requires only disclosure of payment terms) is ethical responsibility, not compliance.
