Topic 3: Business in the global economy.
Global business activities create many employment opportunities. Duties may include foreign
trade, signing deals with
foreign distribution centers, arranging shipping, and planning product
placement to suit both American and foreign needs. While international business skills are critical
to these tasks, they may not be affected by job status, as the worker often has duties unrelated to
export and import. For example, in order to protect the United States from prohibited
imports and
exports, agents of the United States Customs Service inspect foreign and domestic vessels, persons,
and products passing through the sea.

Trade between nations
Many business activities take place within its own country's borders. Business within a country is
the production, sale and purchase of goods and services within that region. International business
refers to trade and services across national borders. International business is often referred to as
the foreign or world market. Examples of foreign trade can be found everywhere. Although the
United States has abundant natural resources,
a skilled workforce, and modern manufacturing
capabilities, American companies and consumers are moving beyond the borders of the United
States to acquire many things. The United States maintains cooperative relations with more than
180 countries. At first, the economy was considered within national borders. As international trade
continues to grow, it is no longer possible to protect these borders from the economy. As countries
are interdependent, so are their economies. Consumers have learned to use products and services
from around the world.
