6. Exporting
 A function of international trade whereby goods
produced in one country are shipped to another
country for future sale or trade. The sale of such goods
adds to the producing nation's gross output. If used for
trade, exports are exchanged for other products or
services. Exports are one of the oldest forms of economic
transfer, and occur on a large scale between nations
that have fewer restrictions on trade, such as tariffs or
subsidies.

(without intermediaries) with foreign customers or
markets with the opportunity to develop a relationship

Modes of FDI through alliances are:
 Mergers and acquisitions
 Joint ventures
 Merger : The combining of two or more companies, generally by offering the
stockholders of one company securities in the acquiring company in exchange for the
surrender of their stock.
e.g. On 19 June 2006, Nokia and Siemens AG announced the companies would merge their
mobile and fixed-line phone network equipment businesses, creating Nokia Siemens Networks.
Each company has a 50% stake in the infrastructure company, headquartered in Espoo, Finland.
About 20,000 Nokia employees transferred to this new company.
 Acquisition : When one company takes over another and clearly established itself as the new
owner, the purchase is called an acquisition.
e.g. HDFC Bank acquisition of Centurion Bank of Punjab for $2.4 billion
Nokia’s acquisition of Intellisync Corp, Sega.com, Navteq, Enpocket, etc

20. FDI & Nokia
 FDIs that are undertaken to strengthen the existing market structure
or explore the opportunities of new markets can be called 'market-
seeking FDIs.'
 'Resource-seeking FDIs' are aimed at factors of production which
have more operational efficiency than those available in the home
country of the investor.
 FDI activities may also be carried out to ensure optimization of
available opportunities and economies of scale. In this case, the
foreign direct investment is termed as 'efficiency-seeking
 For Nokia it was more or less a mix of all of the above three motives.
Some of the key examples for NOKIA can be listed as follows:
