Abstract
The world has changed considerably in the last two decades as a consequence of various technological innovations, cross-boundary socio-political decisions, and the ever-increasing changes in socio-economic demands. The world has become much smaller and more (inter) connected than ever before, therefore bringing uncertainties and more complexities to its inhabitants. To depict these changes, the term ‘globalization’ was introduced, which rapidly became a major personification of our time. Yet, globalization is not a linear process with clear rules and certainty of outcomes.
