Select one initial question from the following to answer.
Messy World, So Don’t Go There
Globalization led to the increase of quantities and speed of movements of goods, people, ideas, resources, and money around the world. Still, we are segregated by political boundaries and financial system structures. What makes a country attractive to you as an international business operator, and how do you determine the country’s attractiveness? And why should a country allow foreigners to do business on its land and make profit and then ship the revenue back to their countries?
We need too much of everything, but we have little of everything—now what?
As the world population is rising, speed of transportation is expanding, and new markets are opening, the potential for economic returns (and risks) is rising. Countries integrate economically for one purpose, gain!
What would happen if the economies of Canada, the United States, and Mexico fully integrate (remove all political and physical boundaries)? How does such change affect international business? Will it lead to growth, decline, or expansion of business opportunities and why?
Inclusion?
Yeah, let them deal with their people! When attempting to enter a culturally diverse, socially complex, politically unstable, and geographically disputed economy, what are the key risks if you operate on your own and rely on your knowledge of that market? Why is it important to partner with local businesses and include them if you wish to lower the risks?
