Year 12 – Instructions for your group powerpoint on Vodafone TNC example.
Groups of 3-4
You need to produce a Powerpoint presentation on Vodafone as a TNC..
Remember to outline:
What does Vodafone do?
How many people work for it?
Where is it based?
Where is Vodafone’s HQ? Explain how it supplies it’s products globally and it’s impacts on the environment and society.
How does Vodafone encourage and promote globalisation?
What negative points have been made against Vodafone as a TNC?
Year 12. A test……
….to see who has signed up to the blog and reads the posts.
Below is a ‘good’ answer to the essay question you handed in this morning.
Have a read through and note how the answer includes data from the source on exports and suggests reasons for the variation in global exports from the different regions.

Year 12 – useful links for Tuesday’s Globalisation exam
1. An example of how people in LICs and MICs are becoming ‘switched on’ with mobile banking.
2. The rise of consumerism and the westernisation of MIC and NIC markets could be good for….. Posh British shoe companies
3. Physical location is important for development. Most of the world’s land-locked countries are poor.
Year 12 – Exam questions from 2009 and information on worker exploitation
This link will take you to a Guardian article on worker exploitation in LICs and MICs and ties in with the work we have been doing on the moral and social impacts of Globalisation.
This link is a Word document containing all of the Globalisation Section B exam questions from 2009 – 2013.
Year 12 – BBC programme on wealth inequality
We are looking at the positives and negatives of the many facets of globalisation this week.
I would strongly suggest that you take an hour out sometime this week to watch the BBC programme ‘The super rich and us’
It touches on many of the arguments we have already looked at regarding inequality, such as how the wealth of the top 1% has increased significantly whilst the remaining 99% have seen a decline in wealth. It focuses on the UK and London in particular.
