LO2: Defining international organisations
LO3: Challenges of international management
LO4: External environment (Rules of the game set
by each country)
What you will learn
Globalisation and internationalisation (LO1)
Globalization
“… is the inexorable integration of
markets, capital, nation-states,
and technologies in ways that
allow individuals, groups,
corporations and countries to
reach around the world farther,
faster, deeper and cheaper than
ever before.”
Steers, Nardon, & Sanchez-Runde (2013:13-16)
Internationalization
is the process of a business crossing
national and cultural borders
• Increased complexity
• More ambiguity
• Heightened uncertainty
• Greater competition
BBA340 CROSS CULTURAL ASSIGNMENT 2: Media Report 代写
Defining international organisations (LO2)
International firms are importers and exporters, they
have no direct investment outside of their home country
The multinational corporation (MNC) is a company
with significant direct foreign investment in at least one
foreign nation other than its home country and it has
actual management responsibility for those foreign
operations. (Examples?)
International management is the practice of
managing business operations in more than one
country
Defining international organisations (Cont’d)
A global organisation is characterized by
having integrated systems of international
operations and management that bind the
company together as an interdependent endeavour.
A transnational corporation (TNC) is
described as a “globally integrated” organisation,
which is a multinational, yet distinct in its
expansive interests; its pervasive markets and
transactions; and its interdependent management
systems.
Challenges of international management (LO3)
Contingency role of the
international manager
Rules of the game set by each
country
Political and economic agenda
Legal and regulatory
environment

business in a country or region
Micro-political risk: affects a particular firm, project, or
industry
Political and economic agenda (cont’d)
Nationalization
Sovereign
Immunity
Expropriation
Occurs when a government forces the transfer
of ownership from private to state control
Occurs when a government compensates a
company after nationalizing its assets

Legal and regulatory environment
Confusion and challenge for the MNC due to many
different laws and regulations in global business
operations
MNCs must carefully evaluate legal framework in
each market before doing business
Legal and regulatory environment (cont’d)
• Common law
• Pastcourt decisions act as precedents to the interpretation of the law
and to common custom
• The UK, Australia, NZ, USA and 25 other countries of English origin
or influence ruled by common law
• Civil law
• Interpreted by reference to codes and statutes
• About 70 countries, predominantly in Europe (e.g. France and
Germany), are ruled by civil law, as is Japan.
• Islamic law
• Dominant legal system in Muslim countries

• Combines civil, common, and indigenous law

The government can block all
