What does a ‘good’ piece of work look like: “One influential account of globalisation, the McDonaldisation theory (Ritzer, 1996: 76; Clark and Mathur, 2003: 146), argues that cultural influence flows primarily form the U.S to the rest of the world. A conclusion from this would be that the emergent global culture is simply the exportation of U.S culture to the rest of the world; however, this is a rather simplistic view. Zwingle (1999: 45) pertinently states that goods move, people move, ideas move and cultures change; so it could be seen that due to these variables of products, people and ideas (or, rather ideological thinking which could be used to describe the West) all have knock on effects for a nations culture.”

What does a ‘poor’ piece of work look like: “Furthermore, the right planning also includes taking into consideration the glocalisation factor. This is because there are no boundaries for tourists and as long as they are aware of the fact. This is the reason why international branding is essential to be utilised, in order to be able to create a dominant brand name and get the interest of the consumers.”Buyer Behaviour – 2013 Where to look for resources
