Mode

Pivot

Places the selected object or component pivot point. This is the default mode.

Global

Places the manipulator at the center point of the selected object or at a point that is the averaged distance between selected components.

In Global mode, the manipulator has two states: Adjustment Manipulator and Transform. The Adjustment Manipulator state lets you change the manipulator location and orientation. For example, if you click a subdivision face, the manipulator moves to the face and changes it orientation with respect to the face. In the Transform state, you can transform any selected components from the manipulators location and its orientation.

Use the Spacebar or click the Adjust Manipulator and Transform buttons in the viewport to toggle between the states.
