Summary
This module provides an overview of international business (IB) and some of the ways that IB
differs from domestic business, including the three environments of IB: domestic, foreign, and
international. Although the kinds of forces are the same in the domestic and foreign
environments, their values often differ and changes in the values of the foreign forces can be at
times more difficult to assess. In addition to providing a brief review of the history of IB, the
module discusses the internationalization of business in recent decades and the driving forces
that are leading firms to internationalize their operations. The increasing internationalization of
business requires managers to have a global perspective gained through experience and
education. Because global competition continues to increase at a rapid pace, both in terms of
trade and foreign direct investment, we also present key arguments for and against the
globalization of business, helping to foster a more balanced view on this important topic.

I. Introduction
A. Our lives are fundamentally intertwined with international business (IB), and all
managers need to have a basic knowledge of IB in order to meet the growing
challenges of global competition.
II. What Is International Business and What Is Different About It?
1. IB is business that is carried out across national borders, including international
trade, foreign manufacturing, and the growing service industries.
2. Foreign business refers to the operations of a company outside its home or
domestic market.
3. An international company is a company with operations in multiple nations.
4. IB differs from domestic business because firms operating across borders must deal
with forces of three kinds of environments—domestic, foreign, and international.
5. Although firms that only operate within the domestic environment must essentially
be concerned with the domestic environment, no domestic firm is entirely free
from foreign or international forces due to the potential for competition from
foreign imports or foreign competitors setting up operations in the firm‘s domestic
market.
