Summary
This module provides an overview of international business (IB) and some of the ways that
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



IB differs from domestic business, including the three environments of IB: domestic, foreign,
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



and international. Although the kinds of forces are the same in the domestic and foreign
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



environments, their values often differ and changes in the values of the foreign forces can be
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



at times more difficult to assess. In addition to providing a brief review of the history of IB,
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



the module discusses the internationalization of business in recent decades and the driving
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



forces that are leading firms to internationalize their operations. The increasing
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



internationalization of business requires managers to have a global perspective gained
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



through experience and education. Because global competition continues to increase at a
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



rapid pace, both in terms of trade and foreign direct investment, we also present key
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



arguments for and against the globalization of business, helping to foster a more balanced
xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz xz



view on this important topic.
