[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The technological revolution has significantly impacted every aspect of commerce, inasmuch as business is routinely transacted upon the Internet. In order to accommodate the vast changes and difficulties associated with online commerce, certain issues have had to be addressed; resolving these issues has been instrumental in a smooth transition from brick-and-mortar operations to those who have taken up residence upon the World Wide Web. The travel industry is a prime example of how certain issues had to be addressed before the Internet was going to become a profitable venture. Enter the global distribution system (GDS), a method of operation that provides online distribution, marketing and sales tools to travel professionals throughout the world. One can readily surmise that without the implementation of global distribution systems, every factor of travel – hotels, car rentals, etc. – would not be nearly as accessible as they are today.

[ send me this essay ]

While economic globalization has had an impact on people around the world so has the globalization of new ways of thinking, producing, and traveling. The end results have not always been positive. Nonetheless, great potential still exists and globalization is integrated will determine the future of humanity. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
