Most of the people through the years have forged a global-phobic thought because they have indicated to us that globalization brings with it loss of cultural identity, changes of social opinion, national economic losses among other problems, on a par with other people current of thought that affirms that Globalization is an advance for the national economy, promoting employment and streamlining the economic flow, although today we know that globalization brings with it advantages and disadvantages I would like to focus on a point that very few people take in mind, the idea of ​​going against globalization is absurd since it is an economic-commercial activity and at the same time I would dare to say that social that covers a considerable part of the globe and is fully constituted and established,today it is an economic activity with positioning, therefore we cannot go back, we have to evolve along with it and all the economic currents and activities that have been forged up to the present and thus be able to introduce ourselves, profit and compete today with the greats commercial colossi.

In this way, I visualized an opportunity that perhaps many people have done but has not been implemented as such, which is the observation and study of the globalization models of countries that excel in this activity to couple them to the needs and strengths of both professionals and resources. existing in Mexico and thus offer a product or service that can be accepted internationally with a franchise model or an expansion that allows globalization, with this I imply that the above would need to be developed so that Mexico is now the globalizing country.

In many countries, quality standards are essential for products and services to enter their market, so the main thing that could be said is that for a country to be able to globalize, it has to raise its quality standards and offer good products and services internally to later on being able to offer them abroad, in this way they may have the acceptance of other countries to enter their market and the product or service will be successful with consumers, so the first thing is to implement quality management systems as we currently send better products abroad to comply with the quality standards of other countries and products with less quality are consumed at the national level, this vice favors that we have low quality standard thinking nationally,This also occurs at the business level, many quality standards such as those of the ISO are currently known, and many quality manuals are available and would help businessmen and SMEs to carry out better control and standardization, if it is possible to cover In Mexico, products and services as well as quality labor, we would be achieving, in my opinion, the first step to be accepted internationally in the commercial field.If it is possible to cover in Mexico products and services as well as quality labor, we would be achieving, in my opinion, the first step to be accepted internationally in the commercial field.If it is possible to cover in Mexico products and services as well as quality labor, we would be achieving, in my opinion, the first step to be accepted internationally in the commercial field.

On the other hand, being socially responsible would help in the perception of other countries and improve their opinion about Mexico and its commercial activities, and how can you be socially responsible? We will start with human dignity, nowadays companies must take into account account the dignity and emotional conditions of workers so that your company generates, also the physical integrity and health of consumers as well as the environment and humanity, therefore companies must take into account that when producing, working or manufacturing they should not affect nature, today there are nature-friendly companies that are companies that take measures such as recycling or the use of materials that do not affect the planet as much,the common good has to be taken since for a nation to be good all those who make it up must be, social participation must be encouraged so that we are all part of the improvement, we must be in solidarity since in Mexico this is a Big problem because we all care about ourselves and are oblivious to the problems of others, this could not be if you want to become a country that is balanced in terms of globalization, Mexico is a fairly globalized country and currently the balance would be globalizing, so it must apply the concepts already written which have been put in place for a long time by the first world countries,human development has been the key since instead of implementing and participating in vices, people have the culture of progress and are dedicated to generating for a common good, so they help each other to progress, otherwise in Mexico, people usually sink among yes and in the end no one stands out, in this way if there is a scientific and ethical development it will be possible to advance in terms of procedures with a clarification of progress in people.

Globalization trends tend to lead to a trend focused on unity and make many people have a mass mentality, in order for globalization to have strength it is required that it succeed in its country of origin such as the case of McDonald's that It was first a success in his country and was number one for many years, convincing everyone that it was the best option, so that this force was able to cross borders and position itself as one of the most important fast food chains in the world, just as its adaptation at a global level has been far-reaching. The reduction of tariff barriers must be one of the most important points in favor that Mexico has in order to develop as a globalizing country,Something that would probably help Mexico is that large companies open partnerships to small companies so that instead of disappearing they have more strength due to the synergy and diversity of ideas and innovations, by creating large blocks and unifications in various sectors, opening new People and ideas can make a company strong and consolidated enough to be competitive internationally.

One of the conditions for companies to be candidates to participate in globalization needs to create ties with customers and suppliers. One of the main ways in which Mexico could be more competitive in the globalized world would be acquiring subsidiaries throughout the world, operating as multinational companies, thus having their headquarters here and this would be an indication that we would speak of Mexico as a emerging country to the group of developed or consolidated, by generating sources of employment and supply on a nab scale. Some of the advantages for our country is that by being globalizers, production costs for companies would be reduced and therefore products with lower costs would be offered,employment would be increased in the countries in which multinationals operate and this is well seen at the international level, competitiveness among Mexican entrepreneurs would increase and thus the quality of products and services would be raised, technological improvements that help to production and the speed of economic transactions and there would be greater accessibility of goods internally, along with foreign trade, due to import and export operations, opening more economic concentration in Mexico, and our companies would be in a better position internationally, Due to an economy of scale, we would have a greater workforce and an improvement in cost, as we are suppliers of raw materials and primary products.competitiveness among Mexican entrepreneurs would increase and thus the quality of products and services would be raised, technological improvements that help the production and speed of economic transactions are discovered and implemented and there would be greater accessibility of goods internally, along with foreign trade by import and export operations, opening more economic concentration in Mexico, and our companies would be in a better position internationally, due to the economy of scale, we would have a greater workforce and with an improvement in cost, as we are suppliers of materials raw and primary products.competitiveness among Mexican entrepreneurs would increase and thus the quality of products and services would be raised, technological improvements that help the production and speed of economic transactions are discovered and implemented and there would be greater accessibility of goods internally, along with foreign trade by import and export operations, opening more economic concentration in Mexico, and our companies would be in a better position internationally, due to the economy of scale, we would have a greater workforce and with an improvement in cost, as we are suppliers of materials raw and primary products.Technological improvements that help the production and speed of economic transactions are discovered and implemented and there would be greater accessibility of goods internally, along with foreign trade by import and export operations, opening more economic concentration in Mexico and our Companies would be in a better position internationally, due to economy of scale, we would have a greater workforce and an improvement in cost, as they are suppliers of raw materials and primary products.Technological improvements that help the production and speed of economic transactions are discovered and implemented and there would be greater accessibility of goods internally, along with foreign trade by import and export operations, opening more economic concentration in Mexico and our Companies would be in a better position internationally, due to economy of scale, we would have a greater workforce and an improvement in cost, as they are suppliers of raw materials and primary products.We would have a greater workforce and an improvement in cost, as we are suppliers of raw materials and primary products.We would have a greater workforce and an improvement in cost, as we are suppliers of raw materials and primary products.

Because globalization is a phenomenon of exchange, Mexico has a lot to offer: products and services, a vast cultural wealth, which, based on the promotion that the government and private initiative carry out on tourist attractions and infrastructure to meet the conditions to attract investment foreign and foreign visitors, who in the sective business aspect are interested in natural or organic products that are promoted in trade fairs and events, which pays for foreign trade.

With networking tools, such as the Internet that shorten distances and can be appropriate tools to use globally, it is an area of ​​opportunity for Mexico's positioning. It has been used by large companies and MSMEs, but in the case of small companies and family workshops, it has not yet been used as a strategic means of promotion. Knowing that globalization generates a culture clash between nations and individuals, leading to loss of identity, countries are threatened from abroad by opening their borders to free trade, with foreign multinational companies taking the biggest slice, and If we add to this that it is difficult to adapt to change and make resources to compete, this is why social networks through technology,It has been an important support to shorten the distances in the commercial world.. The globalization models par excellence are driven by large companies, since these are the ones that determine the exact time and methods to enter a nation, as well as the method to be used.

One of the very clear views, as previously mentioned, are the FTAs ​​where there are free trade areas that allow profits to be viewed by large corporations that roughly seek positioning and profit, one of the great opportunities for policies favorable to free trade that facilitate trade between nations. A favorable point for globalization and what the country has been launching today is the elimination of public companies, to make them more competitive and productive, to satisfy first the internal market and later open private sector investment, however maintaining the pertinent public attentions and that are by law, in this way what Mexico should do is privatize more sectors, consolidate them,gain strength and expand abroad.

The advantage of becoming a globalizing country is that nobody loves you but at the same time everyone needs you, it is like being God and the Devil at the same time. I mean, how do you see an omnipotent country that can with everything and against everyone, because it has the means and ways of working, and requires global supplies? It is the one that transcends the most in terms of products, services and culture, Mexico today is so Americanized that it is no longer possible to distinguish when we apply our customs and when we mix or Americanize them completely.

Steps to become a Globalizing country:

Theories or rather models of development in recent decades have mainly referred to issues of high social and economic content in countries with economic and social backwardness and lag, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Sir John Hicks (1969) points out that "a theory of economic history", strictly speaking, it is not possible to speak of "theories of development", because as a subject of study it does not have a sufficient body of proven hypotheses in relation to certain aspects of well-being. It has not yet been possible to establish theoretical laws of universal validity in these fields. Therefore, only development models are available, so I will quote some of these models below.

First, in the historical model of Ragnar Nurkse (1953), called The Vicious Circle, the main causes of underdevelopment are closely related in an unflappable logic: low income generates low savings; the savings obtained, the source of all investment, will consequently be destined to a low level of investment, which represents a low productivity in turn; if the economy maintains low productivity, the result will inevitably be low income over the period. Thus, the cycle repeats itself and poor countries cannot escape poverty. This thesis, even supported by analysts from the Economic Commission for Latin America, has been refuted among others by Professor PT Bauer. This indicates that, even accepting the thesis as valid, it does not explain how innumerable individuals,Groups and communities have gone from being poor to being rich, or from already developed countries that started out as poor. The model of The Vicious Circle is not consistent, in addition, with the fact that numerous towns of the past and the present have built great monuments, temples, cathedrals, etc. that they represent nothing more than a saving of resources, extracted from consumption activities and destined for non-productive purposes.

Another development model is that of Dualist Economies, that is, those in which a small modern and efficient sector, often in the hands of foreigners, coexists with a backward sector and without communication, or with few links to the former. This way of understanding the internal development and underdevelopment of a country is supported, in addition, by approaches such as those of Ellsworth Huntington (1915), who asserted that the people of tropical lands are inferior to those of temperate zones in culture and economic affairs. Another author, JH Boeke, has written that people from less developed countries (hereafter PMD) are not financially motivated to work and do not respond to typical economic incentives. Hla Myint, (1971), on the other hand,It has expressed that economic dualism and lack of development are due to foreign interference and exploitation and not to native disability.

The theories of development noted in the literature are quite wide, among them, the Classical Theory, maintains that in the (an adequate) division of labor is the beginning of the development process, but that it found its limits in the limitations of available land (Ricardo) and in the rapid growth of the population (Malthus). Big Capital and Surplus Outflow is a contribution by Charles Klindeberger (1978), who has seen in the reduced size of the market one of the main causes of underdevelopment, suggesting in passing the use of huge sums of money in infrastructure before development can be achieved.The idea is that a solid structure in public works can give the country a better integration and allow the creation of markets of regional and national size where economies of scale can operate and competition is stimulated.

The Balanced versus Unbalanced Growth model on the other hand is an extension of the previous model. The aforementioned economist Ragnar Nurske, for example, has expressed that investment must be made in all parts of the economy simultaneously to overcome the smallness of the market, while Paul Rosenstein-Rodan (1936) stated that synchronized investment was necessary to stimulate income and well demand. On the other hand, the Stages of Growth model is due to Walt Whitman Rostow, who accepts himself as a more modern version of others attributed to Friedrich List and Bruno Hildreband and consisting of explaining the economic development of countries in stages. In this case WW Rostow (Between 1950 and 1961), refers to five: (a) traditional society,in that older customers determine the organization and people don't feel a need for change; (b) the preconditions for change, in which there is a gradual change in attitudes, higher rates of saving and incorporation of technology; (c) take-off, in which investment doubles and goes to 10% (of GNP) and leading industries start; (d) the march towards maturity, with technology extended to the rest of society and greater variety in production and (e) the era of mass consumption, in which basic needs are no longer a problem and popular consumption of goods increases durable.in which investment doubles and goes to 10% (of GNP) and leading industries start; (d) the march towards maturity, with technology extended to the rest of society and greater variety in production and (e) the era of mass consumption, in which basic needs are no longer a problem and popular consumption of goods increases durable.in which investment doubles and goes to 10% (of GNP) and leading industries start; (d) the march towards maturity, with technology extended to the rest of society and greater variety in production and (e) the era of mass consumption, in which basic needs are no longer a problem and popular consumption of goods increases durable.

The Lewis Model of the Surplus of the Labor Force (1954), raises the relevance of capitalists making their profits, since it is the class with the highest propensity to save and invest. In a PMD with more investment the economy grows and with it employment. A fundamental requirement in this scheme is that the capitalist class receive a higher percentage of profit than the working class, since it is the one that invests. The model has been criticized because it would not explain the presence of unemployment well in the face of an eventual rise in wages.

The literature on the subject maintains as a classic the so-called "Harrod-Domar Model", (late 1940s), in honor of two English-speaking economists: Sir Roy Harrod of England and Professor Evesey Domar of the United States, who in the early fifties designed a relationship between saving in the economy (S), National Income (Y), capital (K) and investment (I). The development strategy suggested by this model for economic takeoff is based on generating enough investment to accelerate economic growth. From a macroeconomic point of view, every economy must save (not consume) and channel these resources, even if it is to replace worn out capital goods (depreciated in accounting language), such as buildings, equipment, materials. However, to grow requires new investment,additions to the existing capital stock. If there is a relationship between the magnitude of capital and total GNP (alternative measure to income Y), it follows that all the added capital will generate increases corresponding to the national product.

The model continues with mathematical relationships such as S = sY where s is a percentage (for example s = 20% or 0.20), then saving (S) is a fraction of National Income (Y). investment (I) is defined as the change (symbol D) of the capital stock (K), then I = DK. The reasoning continues with the fact that capital also has a constant proportional relationship = k with total national production (GNP or Y), so we have that K / Y = k, or (from the differential calculation) DK / DY = k, which allows writing DK = kDY. Finally, since the total national saving S must be equal to the total investment I, that is to say S = I, duly replacing it is arrived at that S = sY = kDY = DK = I, or DY / Y = s / k. This equation, of some fame in the field of economic development,it only states that the GNP growth rate (DY / Y) is determined jointly with the national saving percentage ratio (s) and the national capital-product ratio (k). It is concluded that to grow, economies must save and invest a certain proportion of their GNP. The more you save, and therefore invest, the faster you will grow.

The most traditional economic development models applicable to Latin America include the so-called "Neomarxist Model" (Set of currents of thought of the 20th century), and the "False Paradigm Model" (eighties). I use the word "traditional" because it is a conception that has remained and will probably remain in time under different forms but with the same background. The first of those mentioned is also known as the “Neocolonial dependency model” and attributes to the historical evolution of the international capitalist system of very unequal relations between rich and poor countries the existence and maintenance of underdevelopment in the third world. The argument points out that, whether consciously or unconsciously negligent,the exploitation of the countries of the "periphery" by those of the "center" is given in such a way that it makes it impossible for the former to achieve the desired autonomy and progress. More clearly this model indicates that:

"Certain groups in developing countries (eg landowners, businessmen, merchants, public officials and union leaders), enjoying high incomes, social position and political power, constitute a small elitist ruling class whose main interest, whether deliberate or not, lies in the perpetuation of the global capitalist system of inequality that benefits them. Directly and indirectly, these groups serve other special groups of power in rich countries (they are dominated by them) and are rewarded by them (they depend on them), that is, by multinational corporations, national bilateral aid agencies and multilateral aid agencies such as the World Bank and other specialized agencies of the United Nations.Their activities and views constantly serve to inhibit all genuine reform efforts that could benefit the bulk of the population. In sum, the neo-Marxist, neocolonial, structural conception of underdevelopment attributes much of the permanent poverty of the Third World to the existence and policies of the industrial capitalist countries of the northern hemisphere, and to their extensions in the form of small, but powerful groups, elitist or 'buyers', in the least developed countries ”.he attributes much of the permanent poverty of the Third World to the existence and policies of the industrial capitalist countries of the northern hemisphere, and to their extensions in the form of small, but powerful, elitist or 'buyer' groups in the less developed countries. ”he attributes much of the permanent poverty of the Third World to the existence and policies of the industrial capitalist countries of the northern hemisphere, and to their extensions in the form of small, but powerful, elitist or 'buyer' groups in the less developed countries. ”

The “False Paradigm Model”, on the other hand, also represents a point of view associated with the international-structuralist trend of development. Specifically, he attributes the underdevelopment of the Third World to the erroneous and inadequate, albeit well-intentioned, advice of expert but often ill-informed advisers who come from aid agencies in developed countries. These professionals, who come from institutions such as the World Bank, UNESCO, ILO, UNDP and the International Monetary Fund, use elegant models and complex techniques from the economy and other social sciences, but in practice they end up favoring only the vested interests of existing power structures, both national and international.

An aspect in the understanding of development that cannot be dismissed in its study is undoubtedly a review of past events. Ugo Pipitone is an author who has ventured into a line of analysis that we could call the "comparative historical model", (years 90), because it presents the most relevant elements of the development of capitalism in a set of backward and advanced countries. In a work published in Spanish in the mid-1990s, he explains how the profound transformations in trade, agriculture and state organization made it possible for some European countries to reach privileged positions in development. Furthermore, his work includes special attention to the historical experiences of Denmark, Sweden, Italy and Japan,which contrasts with that of relatively backward countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria and India.

conclusion

If we talk about capitalism, we must take it for granted that globalization goes hand in hand with it, since it is practically the tool that must be applied in order to monopolize markets. conflict with globalization, but to cover the aforementioned aspects so that in this way we can be those who globalize and thus not be consumed not only in the economic sphere but in our very essence.
