International finance studies exchange rates and foreign investment and how they impact international trade. International business includes international trade as well as direct foreign production and other cross-border activities, while international trade only consists of exports and imports. Licensing obligates firms to provide technology in exchange for fees, while franchising obligates firms to provide a sales or service strategy, support, and possibly initial investment in exchange for periodic fees. Foreign exchange allows the conversion of one currency into another to facilitate international transactions.
