This paper examines globalization phenomenon as an inevitable force that cannot be ignored in location of any sector, tertiary activities inclusive. Against this background, good governance has one variable avenue through which the benefits and impact of globalization of tertiary activities can be maximized. The design and implementation of a programme of good governance, which recognizes the interplay of its political, economic and corporate dimensions, is therefore fundamental to the location of all forms of activities especially tertiary. It is evident from this paper that some critical aspects of good governance are sine qua non for globalization as well as economic (tertiary) activities. Here we focus on few themes that appear with some regularity in the literature: Definition of terms; Introduction; Location of Tertiary Activities and Globalization; Effect of Globalization in Location of Tertiary Activities; Globalization in Tertiary Activity: Positive or Negative? Globalization in History of Tertiary Activities and Conclusion.

Key words: Agglomerate, internet and information technology, telecommunication.
