The diagram below shows the average growth in domestic product in wealthy countries; countries that have adopted a global approach to business and countries that have not.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart shows the average GDP growth per decade for three different types of countries over a period of 40 years.
In the 1960s the figures for the wealthy countries were by far the highest at close to five percent per annum. The figure is double that of the non-global countries and three times that of the countries operating on a global level.
However, by the 1970s this trend had changed considerably; the globalisers doubled their annual GDP over this period and there was also an increase in the GDP of non-global countries, while the wealthy countries fell to three percent per year. In the 1980s and 90s, as technology made globalisation even easier, the downward trend for the wealthy countries continued falling to a low of two percent at the end of this period.
For the countries who resisted using a global approach to business, the GDP fell sharply to just under one percent in the 1980s and rose only slightly in the 1990s to 1.5 percent on the other hand, for the countries that embraced globalisation, the GDP figures rose significantly throughout this time, and by 1990s had more than matched the GDP figures for the wealthy countries of the 1960s.
