Edexcel A level Business Studies notes Unit3Tesmon Mathew
This document provides information about why businesses seek international markets and international trade. It discusses several key points:
1) Businesses trade internationally to access new markets, take advantage of multiple markets, and engage in global sourcing to reduce costs. Global sourcing allows access to low-cost labor, materials, and tax benefits.
2) Factors like improved infrastructure, trade liberalization through organizations like the WTO, and the formation of trading blocs have made international trade easier for businesses over time.
