Size of International Business

$1.5 trillion in international currency

transactions per day! 63,000 multinational corporations Major source of economic growth and investment for

developed and developing countries Source of global technological innovation Earnings growth for many companies (Wal-Mart, GE,

Carrefour, Nestlé, Unilever, Cemex, Toyota, Samsung)

Why was Nokia so successful?

Why did Daimler-Chrysler have

problems?

The Global Mosaic Vast economic differences across countries

GDP per capita, prices, wages

Underlying geographic differences – Geography matters

Large “economic distances” between countries

“Sticky borders” preserve these differences

• The arbitrage principle – economic differences evidence of sticky borders, many strategic opportunities remain

Global Competitive Strategy

The world is bumpy!

Language Culture, customs, and history Social institutions Demographic differences: health, education Public policies Legal and regulatory systems Business practices Currencies Technology

Business must bridge critical differences between countries

The costs of trade: The Four T’s Transaction costs Tariff and non-tariff barriers Transportation costs Time costs

Borders are “sticky”

Global Competitive Strategy

Business must navigate the World Trade System

NAFTA

Caribbean Basin InitiativeProposed

Business strategy must account for changes in political relationships

and trade deals between countries

The Arbitrage Principle

Country borders: Restrict movement of inputs – capital, labor, technology,

resources Limit trade in goods and services Create persistent differences in technology and information Preserve economic differences -- prices and wages Arbitrage reduces economic differences Innovative transactions find arbitrage opportunities

Country borders provide opportunities and competitive advantage to international business

Globalization challenges business strategy in a fundamental way

Trade costs are high resulting in economic differences between countries

The global mosaic offers opportunities for generating gains from trade

The successful global business develops innovative international transactions to gain global competitive advantage
