Abstract
This paper discusses how an understanding of the significance of India as a trading partner for Canada is a complicated task. It looks at how apart from economic facts such as its population GDP labour size, etc. , in the case of a country the size and complexity of India, it is also necessary to understand its economic culture and history.
From the Paper
" An understanding of the significance of India as a trading partner for Canada is a complicated task. While of course the economic "facts" of a particular country - its population, GDP, labour size etc. - are important in any analysis of business relationships, in the case of a country the size and complexity of India it is also necessary to understand its economic culture and history. Just as, for example, it would be highly inaccurate for any study of trading relationships with Russia today to ignore the influence of the country's communist history upon its present economic circumstances, so too in the case of India we must understand its economic history as a developing country."

Abstract
The process of globalization is a form of dialogue between an international business organization and another nation's economy and needs. Globalization involves combining existing business organizational structures with that of a new local culture. The tumult that occurs during an organizational expansion into a new economic environment can be difficult, but productive as well. This paper examines how Bank of America made use of a large, inexpensive, yet relatively well-educated English-speaking work force India. It embraced India's advantages and provided benefits for Indian workers, as well as educational, health and safety safeguards and financial opportunities. The paper shows that even Wal-Mart made use of a large population experienced in garment manufacturing on a mass scale in China and provided substantial benefits to the nation in excess to what the local populace was accustomed to receiving from indigenous companies. In contrast, the paper shows that although Halliburton in Nigeria also initially made use of a lower-cost English speaking former colony, it did so with less effective results because of a perceived insensitivity to national needs, such as its corruption and abuse of the local environment.
From the Paper
"Of course, there are not as many safety and security concerns in India regarding the local population in regards to the banking industry as there are with defense manufacturing. Still, it seems as though, because the company entered into the agreement with a spirit of respect, it has become one of the most popular of "foreign banks" that "are moving more money into India, lured by the rising incomes in Asia's fourth-biggest economy," combined with its cheaper sources of English-speaking and technically experienced labor. (MacDonald & Daga, 2003) Unlike Nigeria, the African nation's economy is not expanding at nearly as quick a pace, thus highlighting the dependency of the Nigerian nation upon Halliburton."

Abstract
This paper looks at five articles covering major areas of concern to international business. The first article, "Cross-cultural Challenges When Doing Business in China" by Pan Fan and Zhang Zigang, looks at the cultural differences between China and the West. The second article, "Why China is Making the Valley Fret" by Cliff Edwards, Jim Kerstetter and Bruce Einhorn, talks about the political aspects of international business. The third article examined, "North America?s Second Decade" by Robert A. Pastor, is on the topic of regional economic integration and looks at NAFTA. Fourth, an article on outsourcing of legal services to India, "Corporate America Sending More Legal Work to Bombay" by Ellen Rosen, illustrates the issue of dealing with exchange rates. The last article, "Macquarie Makes Its Move on Asia" by Donald Greenlees and Jan McCallum, looks at corporate strategy in international business through the experiences of Macquarie Bank, Australia's sixth-largest finance house. The articles reviewed are appended to the paper.
The Cultural Effect on International Business
Political Issues Affecting International Business
Regional Economic Integration and International Business
Impact of Exchange Rates on International Business
Corporate Strategy in International Business
Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"No one can dispute the fact that the world economy is increasingly globalizing as we move into the 21st century. As this internationalization of business grows, there is an increasing challenge being faced to deal with cultural differences. In one survey, cultural differences ranked first among all eight issues listed as potential barriers, including law, price competition, information, language, delivery, foreign currency, time differences, and cultural differences. Great opportunities have been created for global collaboration but these opportunities are accompanied by a unique set of problems and issues relating to effective management in the international environment. The social and cultural nuances that enter the picture when dealing with foreign business partners may make for entertaining conversation in subsequent years, but the daily effort that is required for operations can sometimes be hard on business relationships, especially in the early stages."

Global Business Strategies, 2006.
An examination of global business strategies as they relate to a start-up laptop company that is hoping to sell to major world markets.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses global business strategies as they relate to exchange rate mechanism illustrated through purchasing power parity, international trade financing methods with a concentration on letters of credit, and finally the Euro markets as a promising target market. These global business strategies are extremely important from the perspective of a start-up laptop company that intends on manufacturing in India and selling to the major world markets.
From the Paper
"The objective is to take advantage of the unmet market need for an inexpensive laptop that can operate on the two most popular consumer operating systems: Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows XP. The strategy is to manufacture the laptops in India as well as source and locate the engineering, design, and support staff for the operations in that market. The product is referred to as the Personal Assistant or PA for short and while it will be actively marketed to all the major world markets, the executive staff believes the Euro markets are the most promising because of the relatively high cost of traditional laptop solutions across that region."

Japanese Canadians in Canada, 2004.
The paper examines the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II.

Abstract
The paper contends that the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II was deplorable. The paper then discusses how the Canadian government acknowledged the racist character of these policies in 1988 and offered redress to the Japanese Canadian population.
From the Paper
"Japanese Canadians during the Second World War were forced to contend with a decades-old torrent of racial discrimination that culminated in their internment and forced labor by the Canadian government. The treatment of Japanese Canadians during this period appears particularly cruel-even sinister-when one considers that of the Canadians evacuated from the Pacific Coast of Canada, most were Canadian-born and naturalized Canadian citizens."

The 1947 Partition of India, 2005.
This paper discusses the impact of the partition of British India in 1947 into India and Pakistan and argues its harmful effects.

Abstract
This paper sums up the social, political, economic repercussions of the 1947 partition of British India into India and modern-day Pakistan. The paper suggests that a more conciliatory approach on behalf of the political leaders of the day might have avoided much of the subsequent bloodshed and spared both of these nations the acrimony and animosity that presently lingers.
From the Paper
"The partitioning of India has stirred a great deal of debate. This paper will wade into that debate by examining whether or not the partition of India made sense socially, politically, or economically. More specifically, this paper will argue that the 1947 partition did a great deal of harm to India - and to Pakistan - in all three regards and that a more inclusive approach involving the leaders of the day might have spared both nations the tragedies that followed. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the Indian partitioning of 1947 that one now turns."

Clive and the East India Company, 2008.
A discussion of Sir Robert Clive's impact upon India and the East India Company.
1,966 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the towering personality of eighteenth-century East India Company Commander Robert Clive and how his forceful personality -combined with questionable ethics - established the East India Company as the de facto ruler of North-East India. The paper also shows how Clive undermined the legitimacy of the regional Nawabs while transforming Indian society in ways that created anger and resentment among Indians. The paper then looks at how the Chinese managed to secure a degree of autonomy in contrast to the Indians.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the East India Company's century of political domination in the "crown jewel" of the British Empire dates back to the 1750s - at least according to historian Philip Lawson. Specifically, shortly after securing the corporate presidency, Robert Clive was called upon to respond to an emergency in Bengal involving the capture of Calcutta by the new Nawab, Siraj-ud-Daula. While the matter is actually rather complex, what had essentially happened is that a simmering Mogul rivalry had spilled over into British affairs. Particularly, the Nawab had imprisoned 146 Europeans - of whom 123 died in one evening in a crowded cell. Suffice it to say, the Nawab's actions and the reckless disregard for the safety and security of the Europeans sparked mass revulsion across Europe (most notably in Great Britain) and Clive became one of the two senior commanders of an expeditionary force sent from Madras to re-capture Calcutta and rescue those Europeans who had not perished; the campaign, just as one might expect, was a huge success and marked the high point in Clive's military career."

Independence for India
From the Paper
"Many of the leaders in India did not want to actively participate in World War II. History shows that Gandhi and Nehru wanted to tie any participation of their country in the war with independence for them. First, consider some facts about Mahatma Gandhi. This is explained in the article, "Mahatma Gandhi", (2006), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's birth was in a small town called Porbander on October 1, 1869 (p. 1). He went to school in Rahkot due to the fact that his father was the prime minister of this area. Gandhi was actively involved in keeping peace between the Hindu and Muslims. One of Gandhi's problems was that he refused to see the two separate elements the Hindu and Muslims had (Mahatma Gandhi 2006). Gandhi wanted peace and independence for his country."

Canadian Health, 2005.
This paper compares and contrasts Canadians' health and the Canadian health care system with that of other OECD countries.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper points out that in this context it must be acknowledged that cross country comparisons of statistics may sometimes produce more questions than answers. The paper offers an example: If we compare Canada's maternal mortality statistics with those of Norway for 2000 we find that while Canada only had 6 deaths per 100, Norway had 16. The paper considers that Norway's Scandinavian neighbour only had 2 per 100,000, together with the fact that there appears to be no obvious parallel with infant mortality, health expenditure, or number of doctors and therefore must admit that this statistic stands as a puzzling anomaly.
From the Paper
"A comparison and contrast analysis of the health of Canadians and the Canadian health care system with that of other OECD countries is necessarily qualified by the differences in definition and approach to health care issues as a consequence of distinct wellness and health care cultures in different countries. To cite just one example, with respect to acute and long-term bed, the OECD report Health at a Glance: OECD Indicators 2003, notes that caution is required in making cross-country comparisons of long-term care beds."

India's Ancient Civilization to Modern Day Politics and the Legacy of the British Raj., 2001.
A look at India's development from as early as the 3rd millennium and how other nations and civilizations often imposed their rule on India. The primary focus of the paper is on how British rule in India continues to effect modern Indian politics.

Abstract
In this paper the author examines how British rule has made an impact on Indian politics. Making comparison to Abdullah Hussein?s characters in ?Weary Generations?, the author suggests that British rule, in modern Indian politics, continues to be ?an unhappy marriage that still is not broken?. The second section of the paper discusses political institutions in contemporary India and their relevance, whilst the third section looks at Indian ancient civilization which the author suggests has led to a modern day philosophy of non-violence, religious tolerance. The paper concludes with a look at democracy in India as compared to that in China and Japan.
From the paper:
?The English made many external changes that led to the Indian people's desire and ability to become their own unified country. Although unification may never have happened without the influence of the British, it was the Indians themselves that eventually achieved their unity. The British could not completely unify India.?

Abstract
The paper looks at Jack Granatstein's "Who Killed Canadian History?" where he claims that the history of Canada has been seriously damaged by the practice of studying differences rather than commonalities. The paper asserts that Granatstein fails to appreciate that there is ample room for group and particularist histories that do not fit easily within an over-arching historical narrative. The paper maintains that Granatstein fails to recognize that Canadians, living in an evermore diverse society, need to have an ever-expanding and ever-diversifying view of history too.
From the Paper
"In fairness to Jack Granatstein, there are various problems afflicting public memory in Canada - or at least there were in 1998 when his tome was released. For instance, one online source notes that a 1997 Angus Reid poll found only one-third of Canadians knew that Remembrance Day commemorates the end of World War One whereas a scant five percent knew that the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions took place in 1837. More unsettling, given its political relevance today, only 10 percent of Canadians between the ages of 18 and 24 who were contacted by pollsters knew what the Quiet Revolution was all about and 17 percent of respondents - nearly one out of every five - inexplicably claimed Tennessee Williams and Andy Warhol were Canadian. To this melange of error and misunderstanding could be added numerous other instances drawn from the same survey. The end result of all of this, in the view of Dr. Granatstein, will be - may already be fast becoming - disaster."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Proctor and Gamble (P&G) has had a presence in India for nearly 15 years, it has not yet marketed its globally very successful Bounty paper towel product in this country. The author points out that, because currently in India paper towels have a very limited presence and because Indian families are often very traditional in their ways of living and culture, Bounty would have to become one of their social preferences for cleaning spillage and messes. The paper recommends that P&G 'piggyback' Bounty paper towels on existing distribution channels used for P&G's other household items and that the marketing team for this product should be made up of existing P&G India employees.

Construction of Self: The Identity of Modern Japanese-Canadians, 2003.
Explores the identity of Canadians of Japanese origin living in modern Canada.

Abstract
The study takes a broad exploratory approach to studying issues of identity in the Japanese community in Canada. Chapter I traces the historical settlement of Japanese-Canadians in Canada with reference to how Canada?s changing attitudes on dealing with immigrants has affected the way in which Japanese-Canadians perceive themselves. Chapter II researches the relationship between language and identity. Chapter III looks at two types of modern day Japanese in Canada. First, a young student studying at MIT is used as a real life case study. Second, various fictional depictions of Japanese-Canadians are used to delve deeper into issues of Japanese identity. The subject matter has not yet been specifically covered in detail by academia (although it has rather more so by fictional writing). Available sources are analyzed closely to try to uncover trends in identity. Sources used vary from academic works (both Japanese and Canadian) on history, sociology, politics, linguistics and psychology; through to personal journal entries and fictional works concerning Japanese identity written by Japanese-Canadian authors.
Introduction
The History Of Japanese-Canadians & Canadian Immigration Policy 1877-2003
The Relationship Between Language And The Formation Of Ethnic Identity
The Real And Illusory Modern Japanese-Canadian
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Thus, using Bourdieu?s analysis, it is theoretically possible to apply it to the situation of Japanese-Canadians to try to delve deeper into their ethnic self-identity and individual make-up. However, there are various flaws when trying to apply Bourdieu?s work. First, Bourdieu interviewed his participants in some depth for his study in order to get a detailed profile of each. This variety of data about Japanese-Canadians is not currently available for this thesis and would need to be obtained first-hand (see ?Recommendations? in Conclusion). Second, and more importantly, it is not possible to apply the same analysis intended for a Western, European nation such as France to a complex, Oriental nation such as Japan that prides itself on its ?unique? ethnic identity and 90% middle-class (which, if true, renders analysis using economic capital as a variable useless anyhow)."
