world continue to develop, foreign trade and
an interdependence of firms, markets, and
countries continues to growth and expand.
This development has lead to intense
competition among different countries,
industries, and firms to claim their share
within the global markets. There are several
major trends influencing the growth of
international business, and how the players
in the international arena interact. Here are 5
of the major international business trends.

3. #1

Forced Dynamism

4. International business is a complex topic
because the environmentally is constantly
changing. Business continually push for new
ways to expand and grow, adopting new
technologies in the process. The cultures and
politics that shape countries and the ways in
which these countries act are continually
changing as well. These factors all influence
the ways in which global economies develop
and interact with each other.

Cooperation Among Countries

6. Countries cooperate and conduct business
with each other through thousands of
different international organizations,
treaties, and consultations. This cooperation
tends to encourage globalization because
restrictions on business operations tend to
become less restricted. Business and
countries are able to benefit from more
cooperation because they can grow their
markets, solve more complex problems, and
deal with concerns that lie outside of one’s
territory.

Liberalization of
Cross-Border Movements

8. In one way or another, every country restricts the
movement across its borders of goods, services, and
resources. These restrictions tend to limit
international trade and business. However, countries
today impose much fewer restrictions on cross-
border movements than they did in the past. This has
allowed companies to take advantage of
opportunities, and markets, around the world. When
countries are more open to cross-border
movements, consumers have better access toa
greater variety of goods and services at a lower
price. This also creates more competition, forcing
producers to become more efficient because they
are competing with foreign companies.

Transfer of Technology

10. Technology transfer refers to the process by
which commercial technology is
disseminated to governments and
businesses around the world. When two
organizations agree to a technology transfer,
all areas of the economy and society benefit,
including research and education,
transportation, employment, infrastructure,
and agriculture among others.

Growth in Emerging Markets

12. The growth of emerging markets has
benefited international business in two major
ways. First, they have increased the potential
size of markets, giving companies a greater
number of people to sell their products or
services too. Second, as these markets grow,
they are developing an entire new generation
of innovative companies that can help
address the world's most pressing issues.
