The Concept of International Business
1 What Is Business什商务?
Traditionally business simply meant exchange or trade for things people wanted or needed but today it has a more technical definition which is the production distribution and sale of goods and service for a profit Business includes production ie the creation of products or the offer of services distribution sale and profit One good example is the conversion of iron ore into metal machine tool parts The machine tools made up of the various parts need to be moved from a factory to a market place or a machine dealership which is known as distribution The sale means the exchange of goods or services for money For example a machine tool is sold to someone in exchange for money or a mechanic offers a service by repairing a machine tool for money which we call sales
From the above we can say business is a combination of all these activities production distribution and sale through which profit or economic surplus will be created The major goal in functioning of any business company is to make profit the money that remains after all the expenses are paid So creating profit or economic surplus is a primary goal of business activities
2 What Is International Business什国际商务?
International business as a field of management training deals with the special features of business activities that cross national boundaries These activities may be movements of goods services capital or personnel transfers of technology information or data or even the supervision of employees International business has emerged as a separate branch of management training because the growing scale and complexity of business transactions across national boundaries gives rise to new and unique problems of management and governmental policy that have received inadequate attention in traditional areas of business and economics
Business transactions that extend between different sovereign political units are not new phenomena on the world economic scene Some business firms have had foreign direct investments and foreign operations for many years predominantly in (but not limited to) the fields of mining petroleum and agriculture Foreign trade moreover has a venerable history dating back to the emergence of the nationstate But since the end of World War II a dramatic change has occurred in the patterns of international business activities Thousands of business firms in many nations have developed into multinational enterprises with ownership control or other links that cross national boundaries These firms take a global view of all aspects of business from markets to resources and they integrate markets and production on a world scale Traditional international trade in the form of transactions between independent firms in different nations has continued to grow But the relative importance of trade in the total picture has declined to other forms of crossborder business transactions which have expanded more rapidly
The international business field is concerned with issues facing international companies and governments in dealing with all types of cross border business transactions The field encompasses international transactions in commodities international transfers of intangibles such as technology and data and the performance of international services such as banking and transportation It gives special attention to the multinational enterprise an enterprise based in one country and operating in one or more other countries and the full range of methods open to such enterprises for doing business internationally
