The leve of globalisation was generally high (average mean==2.85) which implied that Total petrol station in Kampala Central Uganda has established other production sites overseas, the level marketing strategies was rated high (mean== 2.90), which implied that Total petrol station in Kampala Central Uganda always apply flank attack strategies by attacking their opponents in the same geographical area, and the two variables are positive and significantly correlated ( r-value==.578 and sig==0.003), this means rejecting the null hypothesis that there was a significant relationship between globalisation and marketing strategies in Total petrol station limited.
