Topic > Business Economics: Expanding a Business Globally

Organizations face many challenges when considering expanding their business globally. Each country has its own economic and legal rules and regulations that a business must comply with.

Scarcity is when our desires exceed our ability to satisfy them. Time, income and the cost of the products or services we purchase are the limiting factor that may prevent us from satisfying our desires. For example, a student wants a doctorate but only has enough to pay for a lower degree. The student is faced with scarcity and will have to make an alternative choice.

The demands of being globally competitive require a company to stay abreast of international business. With the increase in global operations, it is difficult to find managers efficient enough to handle different aspects of international markets. It is even more challenging to find smart CEOs with the required skills or technical background who feel comfortable tackling the global arena. Works CitedAnderson, P. L. (2014).
