Profitability of an application is a criterion that a manager should consider when describing an application as local or global,it the profitability is high it will be better placed in the global level.

Risk the risk involved is another criterion,if the application is of high risk it is better placed in the local level.

The cost of investing in the application is one criterion that can be used to describe an application as a local or global.

The population of the target users is another factor,an application that can handle a large number of tasks should be classified as a global application.

The objective of the Organisation helps them to classify applications.
