WORLD BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Few challenges which will need
to be faced by business if expanding
their international operations:
• increased competition arising from a greater
freedom of world trade
• changing distribution of economic activity
across the globe
• acceptance of changes in corporate
structures in order to match the strategic
changes required to survive the global
marketplace

WORLD BUSINESS
possible PROSPECT
The interesting QUESTION
[from an economic perspective]
is what the above means for the future:
• the 19th century was dominated by Great
Britain and Europe as colonial powers
• the 20th century by the USA as the great
economic power
• the 21st century will be controlled by Asia,
and China in particular

ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
Description I.
Free Trade Area:
Type of trade bloc, a designated group of countries that have agreed
to eliminate tarrifs, quotas and preferences on most (if not all)
goods and services traded between them.
It can be considered the 1st - 2nd stage of economic integration
(Preferential trading area)
Customs union
Composed of a Free Trade area with a COMMON EXTERNAL
TARIFF. The participants set up common external trade policy,
but in some cases they use different import quotas.
Purposes for establishing a customs union normally include
increasing econ. efficiency + establishing closer political and
cultural ties between members
It is the 3rd stage of economic integration
16.
ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
Description II.
Common / Single market
A single market is a type of trade bloc which is composed of a FTA (for goods)
with common policies on product regulation, and FREEDOM of
MOVEMENTof the FACTORS OF PRODUCTION (capital, labour) and of
enterprise and services.
The physical (borders), technical (standards) and fiscal (taxes) barriers among
the member states are removed to the maximum extent possible. These
barriers obstruct the freedom of movement of the four factors of production.
To remove these barriers the member states need political will and they have
to formulate common economic policies.
A common market is a first stage towards a single market, and may be limited
initially to a free trade area with relatively free movement of capital and of
services, but not so advanced in reduction of the rest of the trade barriers.
Economic union
17.
Type of trade bloc which is composed of a common market with a customs
union.
The participant countries have both common policies on product regulation,
freedom of movement of goods, services and the factors of production
and a common external trade policy.

economics, an export is any good or commodity,

legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade.

EMERGING MARKETS
What is an emerging market economy (EME)?
–
–
–
–
–
Emerging markets are nations/markets with social or business
activity in the process of rapid GROW and
INDURSTRALIZATION.
Currently, there are 28 emerging markets in the world, with the
economies of CHINA and INDIA considered to be by far the two
largest.
The ASEAN–China Free Trade Area, launched on January 1,
2010, is the largest regional emerging market in the world.
An emerging market economy (EME) is defined as an
economy with low to middle per capita income.
• Such countries constitute approximately 80% of the global
population, and represent about 20% of the world's
economies. The term was coined in 1981 by the World Bank.
One key characteristic of the EME is an increase in both local
and foreign investment (portfolio and direct). A growth in
investment in a country often indicates that the country has
been able to build confidence in the local economy
