International Business is quite a complex operation,involving an understanding of both the theoretical aspect and practical aspect. International Business comprises all commercial transac- tions (private and governmental,sales,investments,logistics,and transportation) that take place between two or more regions,countries and nations beyond their political boundaries. U-sually,private companies undertake such transactions for profit;governments undertake them for profit and for political reasons. It refers to all those business activities which involve cross border transactions of goods,services,resources between two or more nations. Transaction of e-conomic resources include capital,skills,people etc. for international production of physical goods and services such as finance,banking,insurance,construction etc.
Areas of study within this topic include differences in legal systems,political systems,e-conomic policy,language,accounting standards,labor standards,living standards,environ-mental standards,local culture,corporate culture,foreign exchange market,tariffs,import and export regulations,trade agreements,FPI,FDI,TNCs management and many more top-ics.
