Survival and growth

For companies to survive, they need to grow. Because
most countries are not fortunate of market size,
resources and opportunities, they must trade with others
to survive.
International expansion was necessary when
foreign companies entered a domestic
market.
Only companies with previously substantial
market share and international experience
could expand successfully.
15
Sales and profits


Foreign markets constitute a large share of the
total business of many companies that have wisely
cultivated markets abroad.
Foreign sales
constitute a major
share of total
revenues of many
companies.
16
Diversification


Demand for most products
in domestic market is
affected by cyclical factors
and seasonal factors.
These factors are likely to
cause a drop in sales often forcing companies to
lay off personnel.
Foreign markets iron out fluctuations by providing
outlets for excess production capacity.
17
Inflation and price moderation

The benefits of exports are obvious. Even imports
can be beneficial to a country. Without imports,
there is no force to influence domestic companies
to moderate their prices.
18
Standards of living

Trade affords participating nations and their
citizens higher standards of living than is
otherwise possible.
Without trade, product
shortages force people
to pay more for less,
denying them the
purchasing power to buy
more.
