Abstract
This paper serves as an introduction to the concepts of international strategy and organizational design. This paper highlights the fact that achieving a global strategy has never been as easy given the aid offered by Information Technology and the Internet and World Wide Web, a fact which also helps determine what the structure of the organization should be.
From the Paper
"Companies need to take a global strategy today in order to be competitive, and at the same time, achieving a global strategy has never been as easy given the aid offered by Information Technology and the Internet and World Wide Web. The rise of the Internet and the World Wide Web has made it possible for even small firms to undertake a global strategy without committing huge resources to individual countries. Those companies with goods that can be sold online can do so without having to create sales offices in each country and instead can place their goods online, take orders from anywhere, then ship the goods directly to the consumer. This opportunity is a major change from the only ways open in the past, methods much more expensive, labor-intensive, and complex."

"NTT Corporation is Japan's largest telecommunications provider. Among its list of services is telephone, cellular, ISDN services, and multimedia and data communications services. NTT is better equipped to integrate data services across its network of wireless customers because this has been a focus of its corporate strategy for sometime. NTT Corporation reported more than $97b but this figure was an overall decrease from the previous year of 0.6% (Global, 2006). How NTT Corporation manages its expansion across the Asia-Pacific rim may very well determine its future competitiveness on the global markets where there is a significant demand for its data capabilities across wireless networks."

Abstract
Using the example of the International Corn Flake Company, the paper explores globalization marketing strategy. It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the company's marketing strategies and the strategies' effectiveness. The paper also proposes new marketing strategies, such as adapting the product/ advertising to the foreign market.
From the Paper
"There are a number of companies that are being recognized by and whose brand names are familiar to most of the people in every region of the world. With the span of time, the global competition is becoming more and more intense and is affecting businesses in almost every part of the world. Those domestic companies who have been doing business in a specific region for decades to concentrate in only one area of the market are now finding foreign competitors at their competition and having more market recognition because of their regional presence. ?Though some of the people argue that the government should protect the domestic firms through legislations but in the long term, this policy may harm the interests of the consumer because the domestic firms may not be providing a compatible product or service. The best strategy to address this issue of foreign competition is to improve the products and services at home and to expend the target markets to other foreign markets. However, it is usually advisable to cautiously make the decision of expanding into any foreign market. The risks of doing business in a foreign region are high. The reasons for such high risks are the number of challenges faced by these companies while doing business outside the U.S such as shifting borders of the countries, instability in the political and economic scene of the country, problems related to foreign exchange, corruption and pirating of company?s technology."

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."

From the Paper
"It is clear that the promise of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has not materialized in the lives of independent farmers, wage workers and that this has greatly affected the lives of millions. NAFTA is proclaimed by the governments and corporations within the countries of NAFTA to be an unmitigated success and perhaps from the perspective of the governments and the corporations this is true. The problem that exists is that the independent farmers are out of business and migrating into the areas where jobs are already scarce and wages are low. Furthermore U.S. independent farmers have been essentially driven out of business due to impacts of NAFTA. It should be questioned that the only growers of food are the big corporations leaving little in the way of choice to consumers."
