Internationalbusinessoperations

International business operations, by their very nature, are complex, risky and require special understanding. Foreign business operations are more complex because the host country's economy may be different from the domestic economy.

One of the most common forms of international business is to import and export merchandise. Importing is particularly prevalent in the retailing industry. Big companies have legions of buyers who scour the world, looking for merchandise to import. Smaller companies also handle imported goods, although they may purchase them through wholesalers in their country rather than directly abroad.

The low-risk approach to international marketing is exporting. Manufacturers often enter foreign markets by exporting. This enables them to test a market with small shipments before investing in expended production capabilities or foreign manufacturing facilities.

Two basic approaches can be taken to exporting. Indirect exporting is handled by intermediaries such as buying and exporting agents who buy the products directly from their own name. Indirect exporters typically have no contact with customers in their foreign markets. Direct exporting is handled directly by manufacturers and requires a great commitment of both managerial and financial resources. One of the least risky way to export indirectly is through an export trading company, which buys everything from manufactured goods to raw materials and then resells these products in foreign markets. The manufacturer receives a guaranteed price, and the trading company assumes all the risk.

Companies that want to export their products may do so directly by calling on potential customers overseas, or they may rely on intermediaries in their country or abroad. Working through someone with connections in the target country is particularly attractive to smaller companies and to those with little experience in international business. But many countries now have foreign trade offices that help importers and exporters interested in doing business within their borders.
