⏹Chapter 2 Economic Systems⏹Countries have different political, economic, and legal system. All thesedifference can and do have major implications for the practice ofinternational business. In this chapter we will focus on economic systems .⏹We can identity three broad types of economic systems----a market economy,a command economy, a mixed economy. Then we will discuss a markettransition economy.⏹ 1.0 Economic systems⏹ 1.1 Market economy⏹In a pure market economy, all productive activities are privately owned, asopposed to being owned by the state. The goods and services that a country produces are not planned by anyone.⏹For a market to work in this manner there must be no restrictions on supply.A restriction on supply occurs when a market is monopolized by a single firm.⏹Given the dangers inherent in monopoly, the role of government in a marketeconomy is to encourage vigorous competition between private producers.⏹ 1.2 Command Economy⏹In a pure command economy, the goods and services that a country produces,the quantity in which they are produced, and the prices at which they aresold are all planned by the government. In addition, in a pure commandeconomy, all businesses are state owned.⏹ 1.3 Mixed Economy⏹In a mixed economy, certain sectors of the economy are left to privateownership and free market mechanisms while other sectors have significant state ownership and government planning.⏹ 2.0 Political Economy and Economic Progress⏹Innovation and entrepreneurship are the engines of growth⏹Innovation and entrepreneurship require a market economy⏹Innovation and entrepreneurship require strong prperty rights⏹Democratic regimes are more conducive to long-terms economic growth⏹Economic progress begets democracy⏹ 3.0 States in Transition⏹from centrally planned and mixed economies toward a more free marketeconomic model⏹The major market transition countries are Russia, the eastern Europeannations, and China.⏹ 3.1 A brief Historic Review⏹ 3.2 The Demise of the Socialist System⏹ 3.0 States in transtion⏹ 3.3 The Realities of Economic Change⏹ 3.3.1 Infrastructure shortages⏹ 3.3.2 Capital Shortages⏹ 3.3.3 Demands Conditions⏹ 3.3.4 Knowledge Resources⏹ 3.3.5 Uncertainty⏹ 3.4 State Enterprises and Privatization⏹ 3.4.1 Reasons for the Existence of State-Owned Enterprises⏹National security and economic security⏹The investment required is too large to come from private sector⏹Rescue failing private enterprises⏹The state-owned firms may be more societal oriented⏹ 3.4 State Enterprises and Privatization⏹ 3.4.2 The Effect of State-Owned Enterprises on International Business⏹Market entry⏹The sourcing or marketing process⏹International competition⏹ 3.4.3 Privatization⏹Beginning in the mid-1980s governments and citizens came to recognize thedrawbacks⏹Through privatization, governments can cut their budget costs and stillensure services are provided to their citizens⏹The methods of privatization vary form country to country⏹ 4.0 The Role of the Multinational Firms⏹Multinational firms have experienced higher rates of success in transitioneconomies for a variety of reasons;⏹Foreign firms have had a tendency to enter-- at least initially – service sectorsthat allowed high profit potential with minimal capital investments.⏹The export orientation of the multinational firm is quite consistent with theeconomic policy goals of the transition economies.⏹Many multinationals find their access to local capital to be easier than ofother domestic borrowers.⏹Chapter 3 Politics and Laws⏹Politics and laws play a critical role in international business. Unexpectedpolitical or legal influences can interrupt company’s plan and cause serious results.⏹Political systems can be assessed according two dimensions: Collectivism andIndividualism; Democratic and Totalitarian.⏹ 1.0 Home-Country Perspective⏹ 1.1 Embargoes and Sanctions⏹The terms of sanction and embargo refer to governmental actions thatdistort free flow in goods, services, or ideas for decidedly adversarial and political, rather than economic purposes.⏹Sanctions tend to consist of specific coercive trade measures such as thecancellation of trade financing or the prohibition of high-technology trade.Embargoes are usually much broader in that they prohibit trade entirely.⏹ 1.2 Export Controls⏹ 1.3 Regulating International Business Behavior⏹ 2.0 Host-country Perspective⏹ 2.1 Political Action and Risk⏹ 2.1.1 Violence and Conflict⏹ 2.1.2 Expropriation, Confiscation, and Domestication⏹Expropriation is the transfer of ownership by the host government to adomestic entity.⏹Confiscation is similar to expropriation in that it results in a transfer ofownership from the firm to the host country. It differs in that it does not involve compensation for the firm.⏹The goal of domestication is the same-that is, to gain control over foreigninvestment- but the method is different, such as imposing local content.⏹ 2.2 Economic Risk⏹ 2.2.1 Exchange Control⏹ 2.2.2 Tax Policy⏹ 2.2.3 Price Control⏹ 3.0 Managing Risk⏹Demonstrating that it is concerned with the host country’s society and that itconsider itself an integral part of the host country.⏹Forming joint ventures with local partners.⏹The close monitoring of political developments⏹Taking out insurance to cover losses⏹ 4.0 Legal Differences and Restraints⏹ 4.1 Basic Systems of Laws⏹ 4.1.1 Common Law– based on tradition, precedent, and custom⏹ 4.1.2 Code Law – based on a very detailed set of laws organized into codes⏹ 4.1.3 Theocratic Law– based on religious teachings⏹ 4.2 Differences between Common Law and Code Law⏹ 4.3 Frequent Legal Problems⏹ 4.3.1 Legal Responsibilities of Alternative IB Organization Formats⏹ 4.3.2 Product Liability Law⏹ 4.3.3 Labor, Employment and Corporate Law⏹ 4.3.4 Antitrust Law⏹ 4.3.5 Intellectual Property⏹ 4.3.6 Contract Law⏹ 5.0 Managerial Issues of Legal Problems⏹ 5.1 Different Attitude about Legal Matters⏹ 5.2 “Repeat Users” and the “Occasional Users”⏹ 5.3 Managing Lawyers: Four Control Mechanism⏹Chapter 6 International Trade Theory⏹This chapter has two goals:⏹The first is to review a number of theories that explain why it is beneficial fora country to engage in international trade.⏹The second goal is to explain the pattern of international trade that weobserve in the world economy.⏹ 1.0 Mercantilism⏹The first theory of international trade emerged in England in the mid-16thcentury. Referred to as mercantilism, its principal assertion was that gold and silver were the mainstays of national wealth.⏹The mercantilist doctrine advocate government intervention to achieve asurplus in the balance of trade.⏹They viewed trade as a zero-sum game.⏹ 2.0 Absolute advantage and the division of labor⏹In his 1776 landmark book the Wealth of Nations, Adam Simth attacked themercantilist assumption that trade is a zero-sum game.⏹Courtiers should specialize in the production of goods for which they have anabsolute advantage and then trade these for goods produced by other countries.⏹An example of absolute advantage⏹ 3.0 Comparative advantage⏹David Ricardo, in On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation,noted that even if a country possessed absolute advantage in the production of two products, it still must be relatively more efficient than the other country in one good’s production than the other. Ricardo ter med this the comparative advantage.⏹Each country would then possess comparative advantage in the production ofone of the two products, and both countries would then benefit by specializing completely in one product and trading for the other.⏹An example of comparative advantage⏹ 4.0 Factor Proportions Trade Theory⏹Ricardo’s theory stresses that comparative advantage arises form differencesin productivity.⏹Swedish economists Heckscher and Ohlin put forward a different explanationof comparative advantage. They argued that comparative advantage arises from differences in national factor endowments.⏹The Hechscher-Ohlin theory predicts that countries will export those goodsthat make intensive use of factors that are locally abundant, while importing goods that make intensive use of factor that are locally scarce.⏹ 5.0 The competitive advantage of nations⏹Existing theories of international trade told only part of the story. They cannot explain why a nation achieves international success in a particular industry.⏹The leader in this area of research has been Michael Porter. He arguedinnovation is what drives and sustains competitiveness. A firm must avail itself of all dimensions of competition, which he categorized into four major components: Factor endowments; Demand conditions; Related and supporting industries; Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry.⏹ 5.1 Factor Endowments⏹Basic factor⏹Advanced factor⏹The relationship between advanced and basic factors⏹ 5.2 Demand Conditions⏹Firms are typically most sensitive to the needs of their closest customers.Thus, the characteristics of home demand are particularly important in shaping the attributes of domestically made products and in creating pressures for innovation and quality.⏹ 5.3 Related and supporting industries⏹The benefits of investments in advanced factors of production by related andsupporting industries can spill over into an industry, thereby helping it achieve a strong competitive position internationally.⏹One consequence of this process in that successful industries within a countrytend to be grouped into clusters of related industries.⏹ 5.4 Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry⏹Different nations are characterized by different management ideologies,which either help them or do not help them to build national competitive advantage.⏹Vigorous domestic rivalry induces firms to look for ways to improve efficiency,which makes them better international competitors.⏹Chapter 7 Foreign Direct Investment⏹Foreign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a firm invests directly in facilitiesto produce and /or market a product in a foreign country.⏹FDI takes on two main forms:⏹green-field investment; acquisition⏹ 1.0 Foreign direct investment in the world economy⏹ 1.1 The growth of FDI⏹ 1.2 The Direction of FDI⏹ 1.3 The source of FDI⏹ 2.0 The theory of FDI⏹ 2.1 Why Foreign Direct Investment?⏹ 2.1.1 Impediments to Exporting⏹When transportation costs are added to production costs, it becomesunprofitable to ship some products a long distance.⏹Much FDI is undertaken as a response to actual or threatened trade barrierssuch as import tariffs or quotas.⏹ 2.1.2 Impediments to Licensing⏹Licensing may result in a firm giving away valuable technological know-how toa potential foreign competitor⏹Licensing does not give a firm the tight control over manufacturing, marketing,and strategy.⏹Some know-how capabilities are often not amenable to licensing.⏹ 2.2 The pattern of foreign direct investment⏹ 2.2.1 Strategic behavior⏹FDI flows are a reflection of strategic rivalry between firms in the globalmarketplace.⏹Many forms imitative behavior can occur in an oligopoly.⏹Imitative behavior does lead to foreign direct investment.⏹ 2.2.2 The product life cycle⏹Stage one: The new product⏹Stage Two: The maturing product⏹Stage Tree: The standardized product⏹ 2.2.3 The eclectic paradigm⏹Ownership advantage⏹Internalization advantage⏹Location advantage⏹ 3.0 Political ideology and FDI⏹ 3.1 The radial view⏹The Multinational enterprise (MNE) is an instrument of imperialistdomination.⏹No country should ever permit foreign corporations to undertake FDI.⏹ 3.2 The free market view⏹FDI is a benefit to both the source country and the host country.⏹ 3.3 Pragmatic nationalism⏹FDI has both benefits and costs⏹ 4.0 The benefit of FDI to host countries⏹ 4.1 Resource-transfer effects⏹Capital⏹Technology⏹Management⏹ 4.2 Employment effects⏹ 4.3 Balance-of-payments effects⏹ 5.0 The cost of FDI to host countries⏹ 5.1Adverse effects on competition⏹ 5.2 Adverse effects on the balance of payments⏹ 5.3 National sovereignty and autonomy⏹ 6.0 The benefits and cost of FDI to home countries⏹ 6.1 Benefits of FDI to the home country⏹Balance of payments⏹Employment⏹Valuable skills⏹ 6.2 Cost of FDI to the home country⏹Balance of payments⏹Employment⏹Chapter 8 Global Monetary System⏹ 1.0 Types of Monetary Systems⏹ 1.1 Floating exchange rate⏹ 1.2 Pegged exchange rates, dirty float and fixed exchange rate,⏹ 2.0 Evolution of the Global Monetary System⏹ 2.1 The Gold Standard⏹ 2.2 The Bretton Woods Agreement(1 944-1971)⏹ 2.3 Floating Exchange Rates,1973-Present⏹ 3.0 Fixed versus floating exchange rate▪ 3.1 The case for floating exchange rates▪ 3.1.1 Monetary policy autonomy▪ 3.2.2 Trade balance adjustments▪ 3.2 The case for fixed exchange rates▪ 3.2.1 Monetary discipline▪ 3.2.2 Speculation▪ 3.2.3 Uncertainty▪ 3.2.4 Trade balance adjustments⏹ 4.0 Types of foreign Exchange Risks⏹ 4.1 Transaction exposure⏹ 4.2 Accounting exposure (Translation exposure)⏹ 4.3 Economic exposure (Operating exposure)⏹ 5.0 Managing Foreign Exchange Risks⏹ 5.1 Transaction exposure management⏹ 5.2 Managing economic exposure⏹ 5.2.1 Prevention⏹ 5.2.2 Margin strategy and share strategy⏹Chapter 9 The Strategy of International Business⏹In this chapter, we look at how firms can increase their profitability byexpanding their operations in foreign markets.⏹ 1.0 Strategy and firm⏹ 1.1 Value Creation⏹Π=P-C P relative to V⏹V-C=Value created per unit⏹Two basic strategies: low cost and differentiation⏹ 1.2 The Firm as a Value Chain⏹ 1.2.1 Primary activities–design, creation, and delivery of product;

Chapter 5 Strategies of English Teaching in SchoolsSection 11. How should we arrange the seats in the classroom? How should we give instructions to our students? What interaction patterns should we employ in class? What should we do if there are discipline problems? After reading this chapter, do you know what strategy they belong to? What kind of management strategy did your teachers use? What are the similarities and differences among their management strategies? Why do you think they used them? Can you summarize your own ideas on effective management strategies?Key: 1) The seats of the classroom should be arranged according to the size of the class. The arrangement should meet different kinds of classroom activities. Meanwhile, it should help the teacher to monitor the class and students to see the teacher’s presentation.2) Different interaction patterns may be adopted based on the needs. It can be the interaction between teacher and the whole class and can also be the interaction between one student and another student, one student and several other students or a group of students and another group of students.3) If discipline problems arise, teachers should be calm enough to evaluate the situation and be flexible enough to make judgments as to whether some changes should be made.4) They belong to the teacher-strategy since they are concerned with how the teacher manages and leads the class.5) For classroom management, my teachers invariably adopt the orderly rows, since the class is very big and much of the time is spent on listening to the teacher. Not many movements are involved. As for instruction strategy, my teachers demonstrate after giving out clear instructions and always check whether we have understood their meaning. And for activity-selection strategy, they combine the participation-oriented strategy and the goal-oriented strategy.6) They all want to ensure the discipline of the class and make sure the class goes on as expected. The difference is that some teachers are too focused on one single strategy and are at a loss when something goes wrong.7) They use the strategies partly because they are effective and best for the existent circumstances, partly because they are the most common strategies know to the teaching circle.8) Effective management strategies are important in that they are part of the teaching. Whether management strategies are effective or not will decide the quality of teaching and learning. Without proper management strategies, all the preparation work might become futile.2. Do you still remember the way that your teachers gave instructions? Use the principles mentioned in this section to evaluate if they were effective.Key: When my teachers were giving instructions, they would first clearly state the instructions and then they will demonstrate how to do the tasks. Finally, they willask “Do you understand?” to check our understanding. If the questions are too easy to understand, they will not spend too much time explaining. They are effective because most often we can complete the tasks effectively.3. What types of activity have you experienced in your English learning experience? Key: There are many kinds of activities, such as: the whole class work, pair work, group work, presentation, role-play and so-on. They are effective in that they can successfully fulfill the purposes of teaching and invites students’ participation as well.Section 2How many types of questions are mentioned in this section? What are they? What are their respective features?Key: 1) Seven questions are mentioned in this section.2) They are knowledge questions, comprehension questions, application questions, inference questions, analysis questions, synthesis questions and evaluation questions.3) Knowledge questions are used to elicit factual answers; comprehension questions are used for interpretation and elaboration; application questions are used to supply information to new situations; inference questions are used to infer extra information from the materials; analysis questions are used to break down one question into several parts; synthesis questions are used to combine elements into a new pattern; evaluation questions are used to elicit judgments.Section 3How many presentation strategies are mentioned in this section? What are they? What are their respective features?Key: Fifteen strategies are mentioned. They are:1) Use previous knowledge to introduce new knowledge: it’s easier for students to accept the new knowledge;2) Use realia or pictures: it is vivid and interesting; 3) Use performance: it can arouse students’ interest; 4) Use daily communication: it is common and east to understand; 5) Do it step by step: it’s gradual and can facilitate understanding; 6) Use translation: it can attract students’attention to the new content; 7) Use circular presentation and practice: students can become familiar with the content taught ; 8) Use the new language items in advance: it can arouse curiosity; 9) Ask our students to solve problems: it can push students to find the answer by themselves; 10) Use questions: it can push students to think; 11) Use explanation: it can clarify points; 12) Use inductive learning: it can help students understand the general; 13) Use deductive learning: it can develop students’ analytic ability;14) Use inquiry learning: it invites students to be active learners; 15) Use exemplification and imitation: it is vivid and lifelike.Section 4After studying this section, have you deepened your knowledge of classroom assessment strategies? Think about the purpose of classroom assessment andspecific strategies.Key: The purpose of classroom assessment is to check the quality of teachers’teaching and students’learning. The strategies include self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment, which can be conducted with the help of questionnaires, quantitative surveys, question and answer and verbal discussions.。
