Enrique Horton · Answer 1

A) Globalization of production.

Explanation:

Globalization is an economic and political phenomenon that has transformed the relations of production and labor. The companies started to produce in countries where the labor is cheaper. Thus, a company can make gains by differentiating in labor cost and production location, becoming consequently more competitive. Moreover, productive globalization is a way of opening up new consumer markets, that is, companies started to sell to other countries, sometimes to the whole world.
