Summary/Abstract: We can find multiple reasons, why companies, regions or nations group to-gether into entities or networks, but there exists several key reasons. Among them: the phenomena of globalisation, technological progress, new global op-portunities and risks, higher customer requirements and higher value of infor-mation and know-how. Globalisation is the dynamic complex of processes that has opened; linked and unified the globe since the end of the 19th century. Such unification has not had an occurrence before, even in the time of the Roman Empire. But it is obvious that globalisation has never led to the rapid economic rise all over the world, but it has led to the bigger differences between rich and poor. This work concerns on the identification of the economic globalisation in terms of its evolution in the first part of this article and on the actual development of globalisation and related trends and risks in the second part.
