International Business And Internationalization

International Business and Internationalization

International business environments are the relationship between an organization and an outside world, here they imply the intertwining of various economic activities to achieve an effective connection between the two companies. I can mention some such as: imports, exports, transactions and financing. It is worth clarifying that the two managers and administrators must be aware of what happens in the world since if this does not affect business between the two companies.

Already knowing that they are international businesses it is also very important to know so that companies seek internationalization. There are many reasons but some of them could be: to obtain a greater competitive positioning, having the changes and new customers, improves the image of the company and quality, new segments are identified and createdGlobal recognition.

The business environment first includes economic development, measured by indices such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the parity of purchasing power (PPA), capital, social indicators and economic indicators.

The last mentioned is moved by the innovation that requires the acquisition of the necessary skills and the protection of intellectual property.

Secondly, the economic environment includes transition economies and refers to the changes that are currently presented in countries.

And thirdly, business environments include the worldwide trade whose base is the disappeared GATT, nowadays the World Trade Organization (WTO), seeks to reduce tariffs, increase world trade and also increase income fromall the countries.

When business is carried out, companies should keep in mind several factors that influence and can affect business, political systems, economic rights, property rights, and economic law are some of them.

The political system is the government of a nation, here the economic and legal systems are reflected. The concept of political system is evaluated as a collectivist or individualistic and democratic or totalitarian.

Collectivism refers to a political system that gives primacy to collective and non -individual goals. Individualism is the other extreme of collectivism, it is proposed that the individual must have the freedom to seek their political and economic interests.

After having raised the collectivist or individualistic system we see democracy and totalitarianism, these two are very opposite in political systems. In the democratic system we see that to choose the people they have the power to do so, instead totalitarianism is responsible for absolute power.

It is not so easy to make the internationalization of a company, I think that the first thing they should do is be clear to which market you want to direct and what strategies are going to be used to continue taking into account the available resources, the capacities, and the limitations thatthere are. In this way it would be easier to have internationalization.

Compete in a dynamic and large market in the world represents great challenges but Alpina the dairy company that was born in May 1945 in Sopó, Cundinamarca assumed that great challenge of operating in another country, began selling its yogurts in the United States. It was not easy to get there, since the consumers of that country were not accustomed to such dairy drinks but to very different others, but this dairy company became familiar with this foreign market, and concluded that it would beMoment to take a big step in the international market. This company began operating Alpina Foods in the United States. He began to design products for Latinos and Americans.

A few years ago he managed to sign an agreement that he could market in chains like Walgreens and Wegmans. Now this company operates in countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States. Products like Soka, Yogo Yogo, Bon Yurt and other products more.

This company has managed to apply the concepts to be able to operate in other countries, for example, it has managed to handle the cultures they have in those countries that are very important cultural environments to operate in an unknown country, also the financial environment because at the time of sellingThere is very important to be clear about those environments.

In the course Introduction to international businesses I learned a lot, about the markets and the changes sufferedThe exchange of currencies and political systems also influence too much when doing international business in a different company on a different market.
