Auditory Localization Auditory localization is the ability to recognize the location from which a sound is emanating (Goldstine, 2002). There are many practical reasons for studying auditory localization. For example, previous research states that visual cues are necessary in locating a particular sound (Culling, 2000). However, blind people do not have the luxury of sight to help them locate a sound. Therefore, the ability to locate sound based only on auditory ability is important. It is also
the primary source of the change. Growing partnerships and the creation of a "global community" are being encouraged and defined by the term known as globalization. At the same time, the need for tradition and individual culture has perpetuated localization. Events that happen everyday around the world prove that both of these phenomena do have a prominent role in our society, and by studying these occurrences, we can better explain the benefits and consequences of the circumstances. Globalization
Software localization is the process of adapting a software product to the linguistic, cultural and technical requirements of a target market. This process is labour-intensive and often requires a significant amount of time from the development teams. It is also quite costly as the cost of translating a language is anywhere from $50,000 to $500,000 per language. Software Localization is the changing of a piece of software to suit the needs of a different target market. This could mean changing
Introduction During the first part of this class, we talked about globalization and Localization. The different forces of the two. One is more powerful than the other because of the forces. Companies should consider national differences in order to be successful in their business. However, during the second half of this class, we learned about different international business strategies, what foreign markets to enter, & different entry modes. Each of the entry modes have advantages and disadvantages
on places. There are multicultural areas in Australia. However, some places are developing in the nation due to localization. Some areas such as Chinatown still have a strong ethnicity in Australia. What is the gap between globalized places and localized places? Also, which concept is better to apply for such places? I claim it is difficult to apply either globalization or localization in terms of spatial sociology because both concepts have positive effects and negative effects individually. Firstly
When attempting to determine the exact costs and benefits of globalization and localization, one could easily find it difficult to decide which would affect each nation in a more beneficial or detrimental manner. Both concepts are useful and noble ideas. Each, if properly implemented, can help the nation grow in some way or another and provide the inhabitants with a more rewarding place to live. But if the wrong concept is implemented in the wrong country, the costs afforded by that country could
The debate over globalization and localization has long been fought as whether or not to pursue an international or isolationist foreign policy. Essentially, the term globalization means an integrationist approach to policy, whereas localization refers to a fragmentational approach to foreign policy. There are many issues in this debate, but none as complex and important as that of the costs and benefits of the economy. Other issues consequential to the topic are the political and social implications
The concepts of globalization and localization are considered to be very significant in that they deal with the political, economic, social, and cultural lives of human society. Globalization can be defined as "any technological, psychological, social, economic, or political developments that foster the expansion of interests and practices beyond established boundaries" (Rosenau p. 16). On the other hand, the concept of localization limits or reduces these interests. It is designed to inhibit or
For one to understand the costs and benefits of globalization and localization one first needs to understand what each entails. Globalization is when a country involves itself into international affairs, economically, politically or even possibly culturally. Globalization expands beyond the local boundaries of a nation and spreads into other communities throughout the world. Localization is when a country chooses not to participate in global affairs and confines itself and its people from taking
There have been various studies in the past that have had concepts and theories of localization of function, also known as functional specialization in the human brain. The theory of localization of function, suggests that different areas and parts of the brain pertain to different body functions such as cognitive speech, visual reception/perception and motor impairment or motor neglect. This topic in particular has gained scientific credibility only recently, in the last two centuries, which is
Mattel localized their product by creating a Barbie that looked and dressed like a Chinese girl (Carlson, 2013). They named the localized doll “Ling,” but it didn’t prove successful. Mattel’s localization strategy could’ve used a lot of help. They misread the market by thinking that a localized version of their dolls would be welcomed. They also misread Barbie’s popularity within the Chinese culture. They thought that they could get away with
world, many experts say that globalization is what every business, organization, and nation should seek and welcome as a positive change. However, many people are unaware of the main focus and meaning of Globalization, especially in comparison to Localization. A large number of people believe that globalization is just another common word used to refer to changes and differences that cannot be explained or accounted for. Therefore, many different activities or changes are improperly labeled to be a
when Islam began to spread across Southeast Asia from Sumatra through to Java until reaching Borneo and Philippines in the 16th century (Houben 2003, 153). Trade was not the only purpose indicated from Muslim merchants as Sufis brought about the localization of Islamic organisations for Islamic teachings which would appeal to locals and their rulers for valuable networks (Johnston 2002, 291). This presence of Islam was recorded by Moroccan traveller Marco Polo in the late 13th century which indicated
1. Interpretations Of The Technological Change A definition of Science is the knowledge of nature that can be replicated and tested because it is published. In addition it is usually applied in universities and some firms. It utilizes ceteris paribus and the findings can be generalized. On the other hand technology is the non-codified application of knowledge and therefore difficult to reproduce or imitate. Connections between science and technology (S&T henceforth) have baffled many historians and
information. The benefit from the contribution of both modalities in terms of spatial localization results because both audition and vision provide distinctive and complimentary information to the brain. Although scientific evidence can confirm that, through direct projection, vision provides reliable and accurate information for spatial localization. Audition is also very important in terms of spatial localization due to the broad range of information it can provide about the location of a desired
In the assigned readings, few concepts and ideas have been discussed: Cultural Imperialism, Globalism and Local Cultures, Transnationalism and the Multi-local Corporation and McDonaldization versus Localization. The reading also provided a brief history (the timing) of McDonald’s expands in East Asia and also explained the Rationalization of McDonald’s (i.e. McDonaldization) and it’s Local Sensitivities. For Cultural Imperialism, European and American intellectuals (and now Chinese leaders seems
Of course, the technological world is not the only realm influenced by the sphere of globalization. Today, the term globalization engenders economic interdependence, the political structure, rapid transit, and wide scale communication. Still, localization is a formidable presence, and it must be recognized as such. Obviously, there are definite costs and benefits to both lines of thinking. According to Rosenau, globalization is "boundary-broadening," a term used to illustrate the spread of goods
can increase customer satisfaction, and add value to external/internal stakeholders. Personalization and Localization as it Relates to Target’s Coffee Category Target has a wide range of different types of coffee from, Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts, and from ground coffee to K-cups to whole bean. The selection of coffee is extremely diverse and with this diversity, personalization and localization could play a huge role in taking products off the shelves that are
amplified and attenuated. This interaction of complex sound waves, based on the unique shape of an individual’s pinna, results in a transfer function used for localization in the vertical plane (Hofman, et al, 1998, p. 417). There is evidence that the spectral notches and peaks formed when sound interacts with the pinna are a key component to localization of sound in the vertical plane (Raykar, et al, 2005, p. 364). The spectral changes caused by reflections of sound waves on the unique curves of the pinna
