UNIT 1. Overview of International BusinessPart A. Introduction to International Business1. Globalization and Its Contents, Peter Marber, World Policy Journal, Winter 2004/2005What is globalization and how has it changed over the past 50 years? What have been the benefits to people of the developed and the developing world during that time? What are some of the things that could be of benefit in the future?2. Trading Places, Peter F. Drucker, The National Interest, Spring 2005Peter Drucker, one of the most important management thinkers in the past 50 years, had something to say about the global economy in this article, one of the last of his articles published before his death.3. The Leading Economic Organizations at the Beginning of the 21st Century, Fred Maidment, Business Journal (Central New York), Fall/Spring 2005What were the leading economic organizations at the beginning of the 21st century? The largest trade blocs, country GDPs, governments, and corporations are shown here.4. The Global Compact: Origins, Operations, Progress, Challenges, Georg Kell, The Journal of Corporate Citizenship, Autumn 2003The UN is involved in sponsoring a global compact to promote globalization and economic progress. This compact involves all the factors on the international stage including companies, governments, and academia.5. Business and Global Governance, Ann Florini, Brookings Review, Spring 2003Multinational corporations are under pressure to reform their activities from a variety of competing organizations on a variety of fronts.6. Looking Ahead To Our Place In The Next Economy, Matthew Budman, Across the Board, January/February 2004What is the next big thing going to be in the next economy as it comes out of the recession? How will organizations respond to new conditions to be successful? What will their role be in the global economy?Part B. International Trade Theory7. Shaking Up Trade Theory, Aaron Berstein, BusinessWeek, December 6, 2004Economists have always argued that trade benefits the United States. But now, some are not so sure. It seems that the GDP could go up while workers are losing their jobs.8. A Theory of International New Ventures: A Decade of Research, Shaker A. Zahra, Journal of International Business Studies, 2005The development of the theory and role of entrepreneurial firms in world trade is explored in this article.9. Decoupled, The Economist, February 25, 2006For several centuries the success of national economies has been tied to the success of corporations and their ability to make a profit. However, with the advent of multinationals, that is no longer the case.10. Integrating Multinational Firms Into International Economics, James R. Markusen, NBER Reporter, Winter 2001/2002The evolution of multinational firms has not been very well integrated into international economy theory. James Markusen has developed a theory to help explain the actions of multinationals in the global economy.11. The Rich Borrow and the Poor Repay, Ross P. Buckley, World Policy Journal, Winter 2002/2003The three major international debt problems of the past thirty years are examined here: What caused them, who benefited from them, and who eventually paid for them.UNIT 2. International Institutions and OrganizationsPart A. International Institutions12. The World's Banker, David Frum, National Review, April 11, 2005David Wolfowitz was nominated by President George W. Bush as the head of the World Bank. This is a controversial nomination, but one that might prove to be a great success.13. The Bretton Woods System: Are We Experiencing a Revival?, Reuven Glick and Mark Spiegel, FRBSF Economic Letter, November 25, 2005Has the practice of Asian-particularly Chinese and Japanese-central banks effectively lead to a pegging of the U.S. dollar to an exchange rate that is artificially high compared to their currencies? Is this causing Chinese and Japanese exports to be more attractive in the United States than they really should be? The issue is debated here.Part B. Financial Markets and Exchanges14. Too Much Money, Rich Miller et al., BusinessWeek, July 11, 2005Savings are often the key for growth in any economy but too much in the way of savings may not be a good thing, especially on a global level where too much money may be chasing too few opportunities to effectively invest the funds.15. Squeezed by the Euro, Jack Ewing, Stanley Reed, and Maureen Kline, BusinessWeek, June 6, 2005The euro came into existence on January 1, 1999, with the promise of reform and growth for the members of the Euro Bloc. Unfortunately, it seems to have provided neither one of its promises.Part C. Monetary System and Balance of Payments16. Bottom Dollar, Robert J. Samuelson, Newsweek, March 21, 2005The world economy is out of balance. Too many nations have built their economies around an export oriented model and are not providing enough for domestic consumption. These exports are aimed at the United States and other developed countries, but now that these nations have become developed themselves (Japan, Korea, Taiwan), they continue with the export model, rather than focusing on their domestic economy.17. Failure of the Fund: Rethinking the IMF Response, Joseph E. Stiglitz, Harvard International Review, Summer 2001The Asian financial crisis shook the financial world at the end of the 1990s. Unfortunately, it would seem, the actions of the IMF did not help matters. In fact, they may have actually made things worse.18. America's Growing Trade Deficit is Selling the Nation Out From Under Us, Warren E. Buffett, Fortune, November 10, 2003As the U.S. trade deficit grows, the problem of financing that deficit grows with it. Warren Buffett, the "Sage of Omaha" and one of the richest men in the world, has a few thoughts.19. What the New Currency Means to the European Economy, Bruce Barnard, Europe, December 2001/January 2002The euro was launched to provide Europe with a sounder, more efficient economy. While the start has been a little rocky, the long-term prospects are very good.Part D. Global Corporations20. The Great Wal-Mart of China, Clay Chandler, Fortune, July 25, 2005Wal-Mart may have gotten started late in China but is now starting to catch up, and the Chinese people like Wal-Mart's "Everyday low prices!"21. Thinking Locally, Succeeding Globally, Elizabeth Esfahani, Business 2.0, December 2005LG Industries is a manufacturer of consumer appliances that has been very successful in tailoring its products to the local market. As a result, it has often focused itself as the leader in the product category.UNIT 3. Environmental Factors and International BusinessPart A. Legal and Political Environment22. Progress Against Corruption, Dan Johnson, The Futurist, March/April 2002The government and businesses in some countries are more honest than others. Frequency of high and low governmental and private-sector corruption on a national level is discussed here.23. Asymmetric Globalization: Global Markets Require Good Global Politics, Nancy Birdsall, Brookings Review, Spring 2003Rich and poor countries have an asymmetrical relationship in terms of their relative power in the global marketplace. Addressing that asymmetry and helping the poor countries is the subject of this article.Part B. Cultural and Social Environment24. Grassroots Diplomacy, Gail Dutton, Across the Board, May/June 2005Many people in the world do not like the Bush Administration or U.S. foreign policy and that dislike is starting to spill over onto American products and corporations. Here are a few things that American executives can do to help to minimize and perhaps even turn this around.25. Is U.S. Business Losing Europe?, Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove, Across the Board, May/June 2005In Europe, American foreign policy is particularly unpopular and American companies and products may start suffering as a result. Another factor is that more U.S. companies are using nationals to conduct their business in Europe.26. Prosperity Without Peace, Nelson D. Schwartz, Fortune, June 13, 2005With the building of the wall between the Israelis and the Palestinians the number of attacks in Israel dramatically declined making it possible for the economy to recover and prosper. The result: a booming economy in Israel.27. A Trade War with China?, Neil C. Hughes, Foreign Affairs, July/August 2005On
December 31, 2004, the 30-year-old Multifiber Arrangement, which set export quotas for textile producing countries, expired. This has set the stage for a possible trade war between China and the rest of the world over the production of clothing and other textile products.28. Opening Doors to Research, Jean Olson Lanjouw, Brookings Review, Spring 2003In the pharmaceutical business there is a war between the rich and poor countries over the availability and price of drugs. Here is a suggestion on how to solve this conflict.Part C. Ethics and International Business29. The Sham Economy, Bruce Sterling, Wired, March 2005Fake merchandise is becoming a global problem. All over the world, inferior merchandise is being passed off as the real thing from athletic shoes to intellectual property to cosmetics to computer chips.30. Fakes!, Frederik Balfour, BusinessWeek, February 7, 2005Fake merchandise is everywhere, costing major industries billions of dollars world-wide. The estimate is 7% of world trade or $512 billion. Some of the fakes are so good that they have to be taken apart to be identified as fakes. The people who make fakes are not just stealing from companies, they could be putting their customers' lives in danger.UNIT 4. International Business OperationsPart A. International Strategic Management31. Making It in China, G. Pascal Zachary, Business 2.0, August 2005There are many opportunities in China, the fastest growing major economy in the world. But, to make it in China, you have to be patient and you have to know the rules.Part B. Import/Export and Entering Foreign Markets32. Bushmeat on the Menu, Susan Milius, Science News, February 26, 2005Meat from endangered species is illegal. Yet, it is openly available in most of the world's major cities and nobody seems to care.33. The China Factor, Industry Week, November 2005China is the fastest growing and potentially the largest market in the world. What are some of the opportunities and threats that face manufacturers as they try to cope with this market?Part C. Foreign Direct Investment34. A Whiff of New Money, Brian Bremner and Assif Shameen, BusinessWeek, July 4, 2005Indonesia is growing again under President Yudhoyone, but the question is whether it can grow at a rate necessary just to stay even.35. The China Hedge, James J. Cramer, Inc. Magazine, April 2005What would be the easiest way for the average person to invest in China? The risks are high, but the potential returns are also great. Here are some suggestions.Part D. Financial Management and Accounting36. The Brave New World of IFRS, Eva K. Jermakowicz and Sylwia Gornik-Tomaszewski, Financial Executive, November 2005The implementation of the IFRS (International Financial Reporting System) for the year 2005 will make a major change in the accounting practices of firms outside of the United States. Reconciling these changes with the requirements of the American Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) will be a major task.Part E. Operations, Supply Chaining, and Research and Development37. Your Next TV, Burce Einhorn et al., BusinessWeek, April 4, 2005The next great development in TV will be in flat screen LCDs. Amazingly the shoe is now reversed, with the Americans looking to take a piece of the market from the Japanese and the Koreans with the advent of this new technology. The Chinese are also waiting in the wings.38. Shaping the Future of Manufacturing, Patricia Panchak, Industry Week, January 2005Many of the same cries of gloom and doom that have been raised by, for, and from American industry over the past 35 years are being raised today. Yet, somehow, American industry has thrived in an era when many had predicted its demise.Part F. International Marketing39. Here Come Chinese Cars, Brian Bremner and Kathleen Kerwin, BusinessWeek, June 6, 2005China is about to enter the automobile industry in a very big way.

International Growth Patterns Remain Strong, Polly Larson, Franchising World, April 2002Even though there has been a worldwide decline in the economy, certain types of businesses have continued to grow. Franchising has done well.Part G. International Human Resource Management41. Every Little Reform Counts, John Rossant and Jack Ewing, BusinessWeek, March 7, 2005The major continental European economies have been in what can only be described as a recession for over ten years. Small reforms have finally started to take place that may put them on the road to eventual recovery.42. Outsourcing Jobs: The Myths and Realities, Martin N. Baily and Diana Farrell, Current, February 2005Outsourcing has historically benefited the United States since the end of World War II. In the short run, it may not benefit individuals, but in the long run, most people benefit.43. Globalization and the American Labor Force, Fred Maidment, Journal of Individual Employment Rights, Vol. 11, No. 2, 2003-2004During the last economic recovery, jobs did not return to the U.S. economy the way that they had in previous recoveries.

International Business and the Future44. Countdown to a Meltdown, James Fallows, The Atlantic Monthly, July/August 2005What is the worst possible scenario that could happen in the next ten years?
