Overview

Globalization has created increasing economic interdependence between countries and regions, such that companies today need to integrate with the world economy for carrying out their business activities. Growing importance of international business can be gauged from World Trade Organization statistics, which indicates trade across borders have grown steadily since 1950 by almost 40 times. To be successful in international business, it is important for business managers to understand how international business operations can be leveraged to benefit from global ‘connectedness’.
