merchandise increased by more than 60 percent
The World Bank (at the time of this writing) predicted that the global GDP growth would grow 2.9 percent
in 2016 and strengthen to 3.1 percent in 2017-18

Trang 5According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the
top five merchandise exporting countries in 2014
were:
China ($2,343 billion)The United States ($1,610 billion)
Germany ($1,547 billion)Japan ($710 billion)France ($583 billion)
Trang 6• Collectively, the top nine export nations accounted for nearly half of world merchandise trade in 2014
• The Triad Regions (North America, Western
Europe, and Japan) of the world collectively
produced nearly 60 percent of world GDP in 2007, down from 78 percent in 2004

Trang 7Introduction
• The net result of these factors?
– Increased interdependence of countries/economies – Increased competitiveness
– Need for firms to keep a constant watch on the
international economic environment.
• Consumers and companies in the U.S and Japan are able to find domestic sources for their needs
because of their diversified and extremely large
Trang 81 Intertwined World Economy
• Despite the increasingly intertwined world economy, the United States is still relatively more insulated
from the global economy than other nations In
2014, the U.S economy was about $17.4 trillion and about 13.4 percent of what Americans consumed
was imported in the United States

Trang 101 Intertwined World Economy
• The larger the country’s domestic economy, the less dependent it tends to be on exports and imports
relative to its GDP
• Intertwining of economies by the process of
specialization due to international trade leads to job creation in both the exporting and importing country
• Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves
investment in manufacturing and service facilities in
a foreign country
Chapter 2 Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons,
Trang 111 Intertwined World Economy
• As firms invest in manufacturing and distribution
facilities outside their home countries to expand into new markets around the world, they have added to the stock of foreign direct investment
• The increase in foreign direct investment has also been promoted by the efforts of many national
governments to woo multinationals
• Portfolio investment or indirect investment refers to investments in foreign countries that are
withdrawable at short notice, such as investments in foreign stocks and bonds

Trang 131 Intertwined World Economy
• The weekly volume of international trade in
currencies exceeds the annual value of the trade in goods and services
• All nations with even partially convertible currencies are exposed to the fluctuations in the currency
markets
• A rise in the value of the local currencies make
exports more expensive; a rising currency value
also deters foreign investment in a country and may encourage outflow of investment
Trang 141 Intertwined World Economy
• Examples of severe currency fluctuations are the
1995 Mexican meltdown, and the Asian financial
crisis (1997-1999)
• Unfortunately, the influence of these short-term
money flows are nowadays far more powerful
regarding exchange rates than an investment by a Japanese or German automaker
• Recent examples of financial crisis occurred in
Argentina and Brazil (2002)

Trang 152 Country Competitiveness
• Country competitiveness refers to the
productiveness of a country, which is represented by its firms’ domestic and international productive
capacity
• Country competitiveness is not fixed
• The role of human skill resources has become
increasingly important as a primary determinant of industry and country competitiveness
Trang 16• Taiwan, another Asian Tiger, dropped from #15 to
#14 between 2014 and 2015
• China and India have been the leading emerging
economic powers in the last decade
• Other OECD countries (especially Japan) have
been increasingly catching up

Trang 193 Emerging Economies
• Over the next two decades, the big emerging
markets (BEMs) will hold the greatest potential for U.S exports
• Largest BEMs: CEA (China, HK area, Taiwan), India, CIS (Russia, Central Asia, Caucasus states), S
Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, S Africa, Central Europe region, Turkey, and ASEAN (Brunei,
Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)
• BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, China

• GATT (General Agreements on Tariffs and
Trade):
of Normal Trade Relations (NTR) status.

on January 1, 1995.
disputes among nations and has its own secretariat.
a multilateral trading system.

Trang 234 Evolution of Cooperative Global Trade Agreements
• WTO’s ninth round -called the “Doha
Development Agenda” (Doha Round) was
launched in Doha, Qatar in November 2001 (see
Exhibit 2-6) Interim deal in December 2005 to end farm export subsidies by 2013 prevented collapse of the latest round of the talks
• The Doha Round of 2001 facilitated the way for
China and Taiwan to get full membership in the
WTO

Trang 254 Evolution of Cooperative Global Trade Agreements
• Although WTO is a global institutional proponent of free trade, it is not without critics
• The WTO dispute settlement mechanism is faster, more automatic, and less susceptible to blockages than the old GATT system
• The WTO Work Program on Electronic Commerce is
in the process of defining the trade-related aspects
of electronic commerce that would fall under the
parameters of WTO mandates
Trang 265 Information Technology and the Changing Nature of Competition
• Information technology and the changing nature of competition have created many challenges for the firms
• Over the Internet, any piece of electronically
represented intellectual property can be copied
• The Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement was
concluded as part of the GATT Uruguay Round
Update to accord ensuring patent protection does not block developing countries’ access to affordable medicines is the top of the agenda

Trang 275 Information Technology and the Changing Nature of Competition
• Proliferation of E-Commerce and Regulations:
Countries’ regulators have not kept pace with the
rapid proliferation of international e-commerce and Internet-related activities
• In many countries, rules and regulations are vague regarding e-commerce transactions
• The United Nations Commission on International
Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has formed a Working
Group on Electronic Commerce to reexamine these treaties
Trang 286 Regional Economic Arrangements
• An evolving trend in international economic activity
is the formation of multinational trading blocs
• There are more than 120 regional free trade areas worldwide
• Market groups take many forms, depending on the degree of cooperation and inter-relationships, which lead to different levels of integration among the
participating countries
Chapter 2 Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons,
Trang 296 Regional Economic Arrangements
• Types of Regional Economic Arrangements:
more countries to reduce or eliminate customs duties and nontariff barriers Examples: NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, EFTA, MERCOSUR, TPP, and FTAA (proposed and currently stalled)
– Customs Union: Addition of common external tariffs
to the provisions of free trade agreements Example: ASEAN.
Trang 306 Regional Economic Arrangements
– Common Market: Eliminates all tariffs and other
barriers, adopts a common set of external tariffs on
nonmembers, and remove all restrictions on the flow
of capital and labor among member nations Example: European Union (EU).
– Monetary Union: Represents the fourth level of
integration with a single currency among politically
independent countries Example: EU and the euro.
– Political Union: Highest level of integration resulting
in a political union Sometimes, countries come
together in a loose political union for historical
reasons, as in the case of the British Commonwealth which exists as a forum for discussion and common historical ties.

Trang 317 Multinational Corporations
• The U.S government defines multinational
corporations (MNCs) for statistical purposes as
companies that own or control 10 percent or more of the voting securities, or the equivalent, of at least 1 foreign business enterprise
• The outward FDI stock reached $25.9 trillion in 2014
—a little more than an 11-fold increase since 1990 ($2.3 trillion)
Trang 327 Multinational Corporations
• In 1970, of the 7,000 multinationals identified by the United Nations, more than half were from two
countries: the United States and Britain
• By 1995, less than half of the 36,000 multinationals identified by the United Nations came from four
countries: the United States, Japan, Germany, and Switzerland
• The nation-state, while considerably weaker than its nineteenth century counterpart, is likely to remain alive and well

Production, 1990-2014
Trang 347 Multinational Corporations
• Currently, factors such as currency movements,
capital surpluses, faster growth rates, and falling
trade and investment barriers have all helped
multinationals from other countries join the
cross-border fray
• It is not unusual for a start-up firm to become global
at its inception Those firms are known as “born
global.”
