What Does Globalization Mean During This Post Covid-19 Era?

Written by Cayman Enterprise City | Oct 1, 2021 8:05:00 PM


Globalization is the interconnection of countries across the world. It involves the people, businesses, and governments of different countries interacting with each other and integrating investments, trade, and communication. But this isn’t a new concept, Globalization has been here for centuries, it greatly accelerated since the 18th century due to advances in transportation and communication technology and has now skyrocketed during the 20th century due to a global pandemic and ever increasing sophistication of information technology including virtual assets, e-commerce and more.
The pandemic faced us with ongoing technological shifts such as global adoption of e-commerce, videoconferencing, and robots have all been supercharged by Covid-19. These pandemic-induced shifts strengthen globalization with the cross-border e-commerce export opportunities, especially for smaller companies. It also forced experimentation with remote work, which allowed business associates to nurture corporate relationships, regardless of location. “Once the pandemic officially subsides, many companies will explore the long-term potential of working remotely,” writes Lynn Kier in Forbes.

So what has COVID-19 done to globalization and innovation? The virus has exposed supply chain issues and fired up proponents for reshoring while simultaneously inspiring innovation, collabo­rative problem solving, international collaboration, and entrepreneurialism. The “same-old, same-old” is no longer feasible, which may not be a bad thing. Post-pandemic, we will find a new balance, and it is at least possible that the positive experiments will continue and be harnessed to tackle new companies to grow globally.
