Editor's Notes
- See Learning Goal 1: Discuss the importance of the global market and the roles of comparative advantage and absolute advantage in global trade.
- See Learning Goal 1: Discuss the importance of the global market and the roles of comparative advantage and absolute advantage in global trade. Germany is the largest exporting nation. China is barely behind the U.S.

How Free Trade Benefits the World Often it is difficult for students to see how world trade has improved the living conditions of millions of the world’s poorest individuals. This slide shows some of the improvement in literacy rates and life expectancy since 1950. These improvements in the standard of living can be somewhat attributed to free trade. From The Economist January 26, 2008 print edition: twenty-five years ago two-thirds of the population or 600 million people were living in extreme poverty (on less than $1 a day). Now, the number living on $1 a day is below 180 million and yet the world’s population has increased. To start a discussion ask the students: Why has China been able to improve the living conditions of so many of its citizens in the last twenty-five years? ( More liberal economic policies have led to greater economic growth and an increase in the standard of living for individuals)
- See Learning Goal 1: Discuss the importance of the global market and the roles of comparative advantage and absolute advantage in global trade. David Ricardo expanded on Adam Smith’s theory of absolute advantage with the theory of comparative advantage. This theory can be difficult for students to grasp. A country should produce only what it can produce efficiently buying what it cannot produce as efficiently. This theory of international trade along with Adam Smith’s Theory of Absolute Advantage have been guiding tenets of international trade since the late 1700s.

Foreign Direct Investment in the process in which a company in one country buys the assets located in another country. This table shows students the leading destinations for foreign investors. Ask students: How is foreign direct investment in China a sign of investor confidence ? (Foreign direct investment in China is a sign of confidence in the Chinese political and economic structure. When investors make an investment they careful weigh the risk and reward.)
- See Learning Goal 1: Discuss the importance of the global market and the roles of comparative advantage and absolute advantage in global trade. Who Does the U.S. Owe 1. As the world’s largest debtor nation the United States relies on other countries purchasing debt as an investment. 2. OPEC Nations include: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Venezuela. 3. Ask students: What are the ramification of U.S. indebtedness on its population ? (Answers to this question will vary but may include: lost sovereignty, weakening of the U.S. dollar and a loss of purchasing power as import prices rise, inflation and an increase in taxes.)
- See Learning Goal 2: Explain the importance of importing and exporting, and understand key terms used in global business. One Web site that can be bring a lecture on exporting alive is http://tse.export.gov . The TradeStats Express website is presented by the U.S. Commerce Department and gives students a look at any number of statistics on exporting. One example that may surprise students is that snow plows/blowers have been sold in Middle Eastern countries, like Saudi Arabia. They are used to clear sand from driveways.
- See Learning Goal 2: Explain the importance of importing and exporting, and understand key terms used in global business. Currently, the United States maintains the largest trade deficit in the world.
- See Learning Goal 2: Explain the importance of importing and exporting, and understand key terms used in global business. Since 1975, the U.S. has bought more goods from other nations than it has sold and thus has a trade deficit.
- See Learning Goal 2: Explain the importance of importing and exporting, and understand key terms used in global business.
- See Learning Goal 3: Illustrate the strategies used in reaching global markets and explain the role of multinational corporations in global markets. When senior management elects to expand internationally, they have a wide range of options available to them. Such options range from licensing with the least risk all the way to foreign direct investment with the most risk. A few examples to be shared during this portion of the lecture include: Coca-Cola’s use of licensing, McDonald’s use of franchising, Nike’s use of contract manufacturing, Volkswagen’s joint venture in China and Toyota’s foreign direct investment in the United States.

What’s on Your Donuts Students should enjoy this slide. It shows the cultural influence with donuts preferences. Ask the students: What type of donuts do they enjoy? Would they prefer sweet potato, or green apple, or mango on their donuts? Ask the students: What modifications do companies need to make when they go to different countries like the ones shown in this slide? (Students should point out the need to understand and research the market and cultural/customer preferences and then offer what the customers want.)

McDonald’s Items Worldwide Per the company’s website. McDonald’s is a leader in franchising and the company operates in 118 different countries. This slide gives students an insight into some of the changes McDonald’s has made to its menu when operating in the world market. Ask students why the leading provider of American style fast-food adopted different menu items? (Like all successful companies, McDonald’s has adapted its menu to meet the different needs of its customers worldwide.)

- See Learning Goal 4: Evaluate the forces that affect trading in global markets. What makes operating in the international environment more complex than operating only in the domestic market is the addition of new uncontrollable forces. Examples of these forces include: sociocultural, economic, financial, legal, regulatory, physical and environmental.
- See Learning Goal 4: Evaluate the forces that affect trading in global markets. A lack of cultural understanding can create problems with working in the international market. One book that provides numerous examples to share with students entitled Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands: How to Do Business in Sixty Countries . Never assume what works in one country will work in another.
- See Learning Goal 4: Evaluate the forces that affect trading in global markets. The floating exchange rate system creates transaction risk. If the U.S. dollar is trading for more foreign currency it is said to be getting stronger. When the U.S. dollar is trading for less foreign currency it is said to be getting weaker. Since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods agreement in 1971, the value of the U.S. currency has generally trended downward versus major world currencies.
- See Learning Goal 4: Evaluate the forces that affect trading in global markets. One famous example of countertrading involved Pepsi and Russian vodka. Pepsi received the right to market Russian vodka in the United States as payment for Pepsi sold in Russia. More information on countertrading can be found at www.londoncountertrade.org.

- See Learning Goal 5: Debate the advantages and disadvantages of trade protectionism. The Great Depression was exacerbated by the passage of the Glass-Steagall Act. The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 raised the tariff rates on thousand of products imported into the United States. This led to other nations enacting similar protectionist measures effectively shutting down world trade. Many fear that the economic contraction the world is currently experiencing will lead to similar laws.
- See Learning Goal 5: Debate the advantages and disadvantages of trade protectionism. While a tariff may end up raising revenue for the government it ultimately costs consumers more money in the long run. Due to tariff rates on the importation of sugar consumers in the United States end up paying close to 50 percent more for sugar than the rest of the world.
- See Learning Goal 5: Debate the advantages and disadvantages of trade protectionism. The United States also maintains an embargo against Iran and North Korea.

Electronics Manufacturing Around the World Electronics manufacturing has spread around the world. Students will be familiar with different types of electronics and the companies that manufacture these electronics. Ask students why a large percentage of electronics are made in Asia? (Comparative advantage is the obvious answer) This question can be followed up with the question of why does Asia have this comparative advantage? (Labor cost, favorable trade policies and lack of regulation)
