How Does International Business Differ from Domestic?
Currency conversion Legal systems Culture Availability of resources Domestic business involves transactions occurring within the boundaries of a single country, while international business transactions cross national boundaries. In addition, the countries may use different currencies, forcing at least one party to convert its currency for another. The legal systems may vary or even be incompatible. The cultures may differ and the resources may vary. For example, one country may be rich in natural resources, but poor in skilled labor. Still, the basic skills and knowledge needed to be successful are generally similar whether one is doing business domestically or internationally.

It is also important for staying abreast of the latest business techniques and tools, such as JIT systems. Lastly, studying international business helps students to become culturally literate, meaning that they can better understand and appreciate the similarities and differences of the world’s people.

International Investments
Capital supplied by residents of one country to residents of another Two categories: Foreign direct investments Portfolio investments The second major form of international business activity is international investments. Foreign direct investments (FDI) are investments made for the purpose of actively controlling property, assets, or companies located in host countries. For example, Ford’s investment in Sweden’s Volvo Corporation is a foreign direct investment. Portfolio investments are purchases of foreign financial assets (stocks, bonds, cds) for a purpose other than control. For example, a Danish pension fund purchased 1,000 shares of Sony common stock.

Other Forms of International Business Activity
Management contracts Franchising Licensing In addition to exporting, importing, and investments, there are also other forms of international business activity. These include management contracts, licensing, and franchising. Licensing is a contractual arrangement in which a firm in one country licenses the use of its intellectual property to a firm in another country in exchange for a royalty payment. Franchising is a specialized form of licensing which occurs when a firm in one country authorizes a firm in another to utilize its operating systems as well as its brand names, trademarks, and logos for a royalty payment. A management contract is an arrangement wherein a firm in one country agrees to operate facilities or provide other management services to a firm in another country for an agreed-upon fee. Examples include Marriott and Hilton which do not own all of the hotels that bear their brand names.
