The document discusses various strategies for entering international markets, including exporting, importing, licensing, franchising, and foreign direct investment. It explains that successful international managers display commitment, activity, aggressiveness, and orientation. Firms consider proactive and reactive motivations for going abroad as well as the level of commitment, concerns, and use of intermediaries needed for internationalization. Strategies like licensing require less investment but also limited involvement, while full ownership allows more control but greater risk.
With export entry modes a firm’s products are manufactured in the domestic market or a third country and then transferred either directly or indirectly to the host market. Export is the most common mode for initial entry into international markets. Sometimes an unsolicited order is received from a buyer in a foreign country, or a domestic customer expands internationally and places an order for its international operations. This prompts the firm to consider international markets and to investigate their growth potential.
Exporting is thus typically used in initial entry and gradually evolves towards foreign-based operations. In some cases where there are substantial scale economies or a limited number of buyers in the market worldwide (e.g. for aerospace), production may be concentrated in a single or a limited number of locations, and the goods then exported to other markets.
Exporting can be organized in a variety of ways, depending on the number and type of intermediaries. As in the case of wholesaling, export and import agents vary considerably in the range of functions performed. Some, such as export management companies, are the equivalent of full-service wholesalers and perform all functions relating to export. Others are highly specialized and handle only freight forwarding, billing or clearing goods through customs.
In establishing export channels a firm has to decide which functions will be the responsibility of external agents and which will be handled by the firm itself.While export channels may take many different forms, for the purposes of simplicity three major types may be identified: indirect, direct and cooperative export marketing groups.

Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interaction of economies, markets, technologies and cultures around the world. There are several key aspects of globalization, including the integration of economies and financial markets, opportunities for businesses and labor to operate internationally, and the growth of multinational corporations. While globalization can generate economic opportunities, its benefits are often unevenly distributed and can increase inequality between rich and poor. Major players in globalization include multinational firms, organizations like the WTO that negotiate trade agreements, and the World Bank and IMF that provide loans to governments. For firms to operate globally, they must consider factors like market regulations, infrastructure, government support, resources and competitors in foreign markets when deciding how to enter new countries

Export Trading
Company
An Export Trading Company [ETC] is a firm with offices in multiple countries that purchases goods in one country and resells them in another.
For the “exporter” selling to the ETC, as well as for the “importer” buying from the ETC, the transactions are domestic transactions, even though the goods eventually travel internationally.
Historically, the first ETCs were created in Britain, France, and the Netherlands to facilitate trade with India and Indochina. They were then created in Spain and Portugal for trade in South America. Following World War II, ETCs became popular in Japan as the country began to trade with the outside world. Today, they are almost exclusively Japanese: Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Marubeni, Itochu, etc.

An Export Management Corporation [EMC] is normally located in the exporting country.
The EMC acts as a representative for the exporter abroad, but never takes title to the goods; it acts as a facilitator helping the exporter find buyers and earns a commission on the sale.
A sale through an EMC requires more exporter involvement; it has to ship the goods, invoice the importer, carry the risk of non-payment and has to manage parts of the transaction.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

requires compliance of visa requirement, insurance, local labor laws, local entity registration,
entity statutory compliances etc. which creates mental as well as financial burden on MSMEs.
Options other Countries have
a. Governmental arrangement: Other countries like Italy through Italian Chamber of
Commerce overcome the above difficulty by having governmental arrangement with its
foreign counterparts and sponsor the official through this channel.

globally through legitimate EOR services so that MSMEs do not get trapped by
fake/un-regulated private EOR agencies.
• Relaxation of statutory conditions imposed by foreign counterparts on Indian entities
engaging for expansion of business and investments.
• Indian government set rules and regulation accepted globally for bringing back
expatriates to home.
