The importing and exporting of goods and services are important economic activities to any economy. Learners will study national and international businesses and the framework in which they operate. Unit introduction Apple's iPods and insurance from Aviva are products that have a global identity. Brand names are often recognised across the world as organisations seek to increase demand for their products, by expanding from a national to an international market. Initially, the nature of the international business environment will be considered by looking at the size and importance of international markets. Governments encourage businesses to trade internationally but protectionism is also common. International business is regulated by national governments and also by transnational trading arrangements promoted by trading blocs such as the European Union and global agencies such as the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both large and small businesses trade internationally but this is often more complex than doing business in the home market. Consideration will be given to the issues facing a business when it expands its operations internationally. However, additional insight is provided by considering issues faced by overseas businesses as they have expanded their operations by moving into the UK market. Tesco has had very limited success in extending operations into France but has had more success in Malaysia and China. The business environment needs to be considered with its mix of political, economic and legal issues. Cultural questions about how best to operate in international settings, as individual markets have unique characteristics that need to be understood before they can be exploited, need to be explored. Support is available to businesses that want to work internationally. It includes trade delegations, voluntary industry-specific groups, government assistance and help from commercial businesses for example how to finance international business activities. Working internationally requires businesses to look at strategies and techniques that promote international working. Should factories be built or should local partnerships be developed using local businesses in joint ventures or licensing deals? Activities such as production, sales, marketing, human resource management and purchasing will need to be adapted. Each venture needs to be considered on its own merit. The next time you have a drink on holiday, read the label on the bottle it comes in and think about the significance of the production information.
