Course Synopsis
The forces of globalization have increased the permeability of traditional boundaries around countries,
economies and industries. These forces include the expansion of international trade and investment, the
growth of multinational corporations (MNCs), the ability of information and communications technology
to span time and distance, and the shift of the world’s economic center of gravity from the West to Asia.
Because of globalization, the environment of business is now more complex, more dynamic, more
uncertain and more competitive than ever before. In the era of Globalization when world is becoming
global village, business trends and procedures are changing very rapidly. Terms like international and
multinational are changing into Global enterprises or businesses. In this course you will learn some
classical theories of international business and how these theories go into transition phase and get
mature by the passage of time. Also, you will be able to get some information about different
organizations working for international businesses including GATT, WTO etc. and regional economic
blocks like EU, SAFTA, NAFTA, SAARC etc. These organizations are responsible for making different
policies, laws, practices and even courts to settle down the conflicts.
