International business consists of transactions across national borders that satisfy objectives of individuals, companies, and organizations. It offers consumers new choices, permits acquiring a wider variety of products, and facilitates mobility of labor, capital, and technology. However, political environments can change and create challenges for multinational corporations, as governments have differing systems and stability levels between countries and regions. For example, China is an emerging economic power balancing domestic needs with opening its economy through globalization efforts like authorizing new stock listings and reducing state enterprises.
