History of International Business

International trade and the international firm are not new aspects of business. Even before the time of Christ, merchants were sending representatives abroad to sell their goods. The British East India Company, a trading firm chartered in 1600, established foreign branches, as did a number of American colonial traders in the 1700s. Early examples of American foreign direct investment are the English plants set up by Colt Fire Arms and Ford (vulcanized rubber), which were established before the Civil War. Both operations failed, however, after only a few years.

The first successful American venture into foreign production was the Scotch factory built by Singer Sewing Machine in 1868. By 1880, Singer had become a worldwide organization with an outstanding foreign sales organization and several overseas manufacturing plants. Other firms soon followed, and by 1914 at least 37 American companies had production facilities in two or more overseas locations. At that time, the book value of American foreign direct investment was $2.65 billion, or about 7 percent of the nation’s gross national product (GNP). Note that although the book value of American foreign direct investment had risen to $309 billion by 1987, its percentage of the U.S. GNP was still about 7 percent. During the same period, American exports, the other aspect of international business, rose from $2 billion to $425 billion.
