Abstract
This paper explains three major reasons corporations are compelled to internationalize are (1) the growth imperative, (2) the capability to develop a cost advantage and (3) internationalizing the customer base. The author points out that Indonesia, one of the few developing countries that responded favorably to the idea of internationalization, liberalized its policies to promote internationalization and promoted import substitution polices and deregulation policies as early as the 1980s. The paper relates that for Indonesia, localization remains a key factor in promoting good will toward governments and allowing Indonesians to achieve higher goals through the training provided within the multinational corporation.

From the Paper
"In many cultures of a host country for the multinational corporation, it may be required that the human resource management team extend themselves by becoming familiar with the employees, not just as employees but as human beings. This could include interacting socially and outside of the workplace, at functions along with other employees. It is imperative that the human resource management team be flexible in their approaches to the diverse cultures that they will be encountering and sensitive to the specific needs of those cultures."

Abstract
The paper discusses the role of internal corporate communications in organizations and how problems can be solved internally. The paper explains corporate communications as one-sided communication and describes the problems that may arise from this process.
From the Paper
"Many companies consider internal corporate communications to be one-sided communications from management to employees. Companies may be creative in the way that they formulate those communications using newsletters, staff meetings and even Internets as the medium of communication but the process is rarely considered strategic or quantitative. Increasingly, however, analysts are coming to realize that corporate communications occur regardless of whether companies plan those communications or not and even a lack of communication is itself a type of communication."

Abstract
This paper discusses Walden International's acquisition of Able Corporation and examines the trouble Able Corporation is facing because of the lack of investments in the company. The paper first points out the strengths that are an asset to Able Corporation and the weaknesses that undermine the company. Next, the paper discusses the opportunities that are advantage to Able Corporation and the threats that might lead to the downfall of the company. In discussing these issues, the paper also points out strategies that might help guide Able Corporation through the difficult process of re-building their business.
From the Paper
"In 2001 Able Corporation was leading the electronics industry by 60%. Today that number has dropped to 3%. This dramatic drop off in business in the past 3 years is of great concern. The most prominent reason for this decline in business is that investors stopped supporting Able Corporation. There are many reasons that investors stopped supporting Able Corporation. One reason for this sudden withdrawal from investors is because Able Corporation's products became stale and outdated. In addition, the operations became inefficient and costly. In fact, there have been significant net operating losses over the last four years. Another problem that Able Corporation has experienced is that a new president took over at the company two years ago. Under the leadership of this new president the development of new, poorly constructed business strategies has been implemented."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the financial position of Wendy?s International Corporation, a fast food restaurant, by comparing it to the financial position of McDonald?s Corporation. This author reports that Wendy?s income performance, while strong, is substantially inferior to that of McDonald?s; and, in this area more than any other, Wendy?s needs to improve if the corporation is to narrow the gap. This paper states that McDonald?s has a substantially higher inventory turnover and holds less than half as many days in sales than does Wendy?s.

From the Paper
"With respect to short-term liquidity, Wendy?s compares well in relation to McDonald?s (refer to Appendix B-1). The reason for the Wendy?s advantage lies in the corporation?s decision to keep such a high proportion of assets in a current status. This strategy is not conducive to the most productive use of the corporation?s assets.
"In relation to debt ratios, Wendy?s is superior to McDonald?s (refer to Appendix B-2). In this area, Wendy?s also is superior to McDonald?s in relation to interest coverage, as the corporation uses borrowing very little in comparison to McDonald?s."

Abstract
This paper looks at five articles covering major areas of concern to 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."

From the Paper
"Introduction
As multinational companies expand, and as companies doing business in more than one nation become commonplace, the need for international finance has also grown. There was a time when international banking meant that banks based in one country, such as the United States, had branches in other nations, such as countries in Western Europe. Increasingly, this has shifted to the point where banks in one nation work with "correspondent" banks in other countries rather than risking their own capital in the foreign nation. This has meant a change in the type of services offered, and international banking facilities now include a variety of offerings by both traditional thrift institutions as well as other organizations. This research examines the types of international banking facilities available and how companies can make.."

From the Paper
"The Company was listed for the first time as Marriott Corporation and was listed first in New York Stock Exchange. Since then there have been quite a few activities that merit attention. The first was the conversion of the entity to a public limited company in 1953. In 1993, there was a division of Marriott International from Marriott Corporation. Then the name was changed to Host Marriott Corporation. Again, there was a separation of Marriott International from Host Marriott Corporation on March 27th, 1998. Then the old company of Marriott International was merged with another company and the name changed to Sodexho Marriott Services. The newly separated company that was formed, was then put in charge of the lodging, distribution services and senior living services business and was renamed Marriott International Inc in 1998 itself."

"The oil industry is continuing to become largely an international venture, with consolidations of domestic United States operations creating attractive assets for foreign purchase. The recent attempt by the Chinese national oil company to purchase UNOCAL corporation and the Dubai World ports purchase of the company the operated many U.S. ports brought to light a half century old congressional act protecting vital domestic infrastructure. The Defense Production Act of 1950 empowered the President to block the purchase of U.S. companies by foreign corporations if national security is threatened (James & Wall, 2007, n.p.)."

Abstract
The increased pace of the globalization of economic activity emphasizes the need for all corporations to prepare managerial personnel for responsibilities that must be discharged amid alien social structures. Managerial personnel assigned responsibilities in international situations who are not prepared to serve effectively in such situations create a multiplicity of problems for the corporation. The productivity and even the viability of a corporation's international operation are placed at risk. Additionally, the disillusioned manager may sever her or his connection with the corporation, thereby creating additional problems and costs for the firm (Roberts, Kossek, & Ozeki, 1998)."

This paper discusses the affects of trade agreements and negotiations on international trade.
3,275 words (approx. 13.1 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the "new" theory of international trade is based on the industrial organization approach, which focuses on market shares between domestic and foreign firms; a gain for the domestic firm in a country directly reciprocates a loss for the foreign firm or country. The author points out that U.S. companies participate in business in different countries, not only for cheap labor, but also because they work to integrate their corporate codes of conduct into their Latin American operations.The paper stresses that standards, technical regulations, and certification systems are important for the functioning of economies and trade because various government technical regulations and standards can serve as barriers to international trade.

"In the year 200, The Leaders meeting, the Ministerial meetings, and the CEO Summit in Los Cabos were held to find ways of creating opportunities, updating, and sharpening the vision of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum for the future. People who participated in this meeting spent a lot of time in preparing for them. The CEO?s of three leading organizations of business in North America prepared a Joint Statement on how APEC can cater to provide global leadership and find ways of supporting greater economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. In implementing the same policy, the NAFTA has been extremely successful especially, since the economic partners at different levels of development have been able to attain higher levels in growth, trade, and creating jobs. This is why NAFTA has served to be an example for APEC when it comes to its future strategies and implementation action."
