This document provides an introduction to international business management, globalization, and the trading environment of international trade. It discusses key topics such as the meaning and features of international business, the definition and dimensions of globalization, and the stages of globalization. It also outlines some of the key factors in the trading environment for international trade, including competition, technology, the economy, culture, politics/law, geography/infrastructure, and the structure of distribution. The overall document serves to introduce foundational concepts for understanding international business management in the context of globalization and international trade.
International Trade Theories
The document discusses several theories of international trade:
1. Mercantilism held that a nation's wealth depended on accumulating gold and silver through trade surpluses. It advocated subsidies for exports and tariffs/quotas on imports.
2. Adam Smith's absolute advantage theory argued that countries should specialize in goods they produce most efficiently and trade for other goods. Both countries can benefit through specialization and trade.
3. David Ricardo's comparative advantage theory extended this, showing that trade can benefit both sides even if one country is more efficient overall. Countries should import goods they have a comparative - not absolute - disadvantage in.
4. Later theories examined factors like differences in factor endowments

Learner Motivation and Effectiveness of a Quest-Based Learning GIS Course
Through review of individual questions (assignments) in a Quest-Based GIS course, I will ascertain the degree to which each provides a "satisfactory" learning experience as viewed by the learners. A final survey will evaluate learner overall satisfaction. I will also monitor time-on-task, pacing, and timing of quests, selection of optional quests, textual analysis of answers, and other course-related statistics and correlate them to final grades.
Exploring Abandoned GIS Research to Augment Applied Geography Education
Applied geography has enjoyed a resurgence since the increased availabilty of geospatial software and the advancement of an ever-increasing sophistication of these analytical tools designed to solve complex geospatial problems. These advancements have quickly been translated into coursework at colleges and universities – often adopted wholesale into complete applied geography programs throughout academia. One unintended consequence of this adoption is that much of the conceptual content responsible for the development of these tools is not covered in the applied geography coursework. In many cases the conceptual frameworks were chosen more out of expediency rather than geographical foundations, thus leaving the applied geography student with the misconception that the fundamental geographic underpinnings upon which the software is based, are thoroughly understood and extensively tested. A direct result of this is that students in applied geography programs often employ the tools with little or no understanding of their limitations for modeling real geographic processes. I propose that one aspect of an applied geography curriculum must include the study of the underlying principles upon which the software is based, and perhaps more importantly, the study of concepts that were abandoned in the early days of tool development. While this is obvious for programs that emphasize the more theoretical aspects of geography, I argue that it is equally important for those who use the tools so they are aware of the fundamental limitations of the results derived from analysis.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
