After small hiccups in 2008 and 2009 due to the worldwide economic crisis Peru export sector registered exceptional growth rates. Main exports include minerals (mainly gold, copper, zinc), textiles, chemicals, agricultural products (garden produce and fruits), fish-meal, services and energy. Peru's main export partners are China, the United States and the European Union.</span></span><br />

Major imports include petroleum and petroleum products, plastics, machinery for industry and agriculture, vehicles, iron and steel, electronics and food. Main import partners are the United States, China and the European Union.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 23.3999996185303px;">In the last years Peru's economy more and more relies on the mining and fishmeal industry, while the traditional agricultural sector still plays an important part. Economic growth continues to be driven by exports of minerals (mainly gold, copper, zinc), fishmeal, agricultural products (garden produce and fruits), textiles, chemicals and services to gain foreign exchange for importing machinery and manufactured goods.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 23.3999996185303px;">Mining represents an important source of foreign currency and the reason why a significant part of investments have been carried out in the country over the last decade. Even though only around 10% of the territory with mining potential has been explored and 6% are currently mined already now exports of the mining sector mainly drives Peru's economy today. The principal minerals extracted in Peru are silver, zinc, copper, molybdenum, lead and gold. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries from January 2012, Peru ranks worldwide on preferential places in mining these metals: Silver 2st, Zinc 3rd, Copper 3th, Molybdenum 4th, Lead 4th and Gold 6th.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fishing is one of Peru's main productive activities and a major export sector. With nearly 2500 km of coastline and the rich, cold-water Humboldt Current Peru's maritime "territory" is home to a great diversity of fish, mollusk, crustacean, echinoderm and algae species. At the moment only around a fifth of the resources are exploited.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peru's fishing industry is periodically controlled by the government, which has made an effort to reduce overfishing and enhance the sustainability of Peruvian fisheries by establishing a fishing quota. Additionally, the government imposes fishing bans contingent on the size of the fish. Nevertheless primary investments in processing plants during the 1960s paid off making Peru into a main world producer of fishmeal and fish oil (used as animal feed and fertilizer). Fish-meal is Peru's fourth largest. Over the last few years fish production for direct human consumption (frozen, canned and cured) gained importance.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a genetic resource Peru has 25,000 plants. It has nearly 4,400 species of native plants with known use like food, medicinal, ornamental, spicing, dyeing, gynecological, aromatic and cosmetic properties. Peru is a mega diverse country comprising 84 of the 104 life zones acknowledged in the world in its 11 natural eco-regions. This broad variety of climates allows growing practically any crop, some even all year round. Over the last 20 years the fruit and vegetable export industry in Peru has expanded rapidly and has made Peru an important player in world markets for a number of commodities. Although coffee and sugar have been traditionally the main agricultural export products, Peru is more and more specializing in growing and exporting high price fruits and vegetables. Peru is the leading exporting country in the world of asparagus and dried paprika. Other significant exports are artichokes, mangoes, pepper, grapes, avocados, chestnuts, bananas, white onion and olives.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After years of political unrest and economic difficulties in the 1980s and 1990s Peru's tourism industry constantly increased over the last decade. A rich cultural and historical heritage, amazing archaeological sites, a great biodiversity (coast, highlands, and jungle) and an ever more internationally recognized gastronomy attract each year more tourists from around the world. Today tourism contributes significantly to Peru's revenues. In 2007 around 1.9 million foreign visitors came to Peru, in 2009 already 2.1 million visited, in 2010 2.2 million and in 2011 over 2.5 million paid the Land of the Incas a visit. And for 2012 Peru expects around 2.7 million tourist.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No wonder. Even though many foreign tourists mainly come to Peru to visit the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, there are many more that slowly become known, such as Caral, Chavin de Huantar, the Kuélap Fortress, Lord of Sipan and the Nazca Lines. Jungle tours are getting more popular and even the capital of Lima attracts with its beautiful historical city center, numerous museums, pre-Inca archaeological sites and a good infrastructure more visitors. Probably being the Gastronomic Capital of Latin America with diverse restaurant scene helps as well.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Peruvian textile industry has its origin in the ancient cultivation of cotton and extraordinary textile dyeing and weaving techniques developed by pre-Colombian cultures. The stunning growth of textile infrastructure in Peru is primarily due to textile production being recognized as a strategic business for the country. While still much of manufacturing in Peru is on the small scale, over the past 10 years factories mainly along the Peruvian coast have invested in state-of-the-art technology. Automatic sewing machines, centralized dyestuff dispensing units, modern dyeing machines, compacting machines, foulard's and other finishing equipment ensure the highest quality textiles. Peruvian pima cotton is one of the finest cottons in the world and provides the industry with an exceptionally long fiber famous for its strength, luster and softness. Peruvian Alpaca fiber and especially Peruvian Baby Alpaca wool are recognized around the world.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Peruvian government has made serious efforts to protect its natural resources and wildlife whilst stimulating its forest industry through the allocation of concessions for sustainable forest management. However Peru has yet to take advantage of the around 50% of the country's land area covered by forest. Especially infrastructure problems leave the huge forest potential in impoverished and illegal coca-producing areas untouched. Even though the sector grew over the last few years, the trade balance in terms of wood products is negative. Today forest products include balsa lumber, balata gum, rubber and a variety of medicinal plants. Notable among the latter is the cinchona plant, from which quinine is derived (anti malaria medicine).</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since ancient times the cultivation of coca leaves (the raw material required to make cocaine) has a cultural and social significance for the indigenous people of Peru. Until today the stimulant effects of the coca leave are used for medical purposes and in traditional religious ceremonies. Coca tea (mate de coca), legal in Peru and sold in every supermarket, is often recommended for travelers in the Andes to prevent and relieve the symptoms of Altitude Sickness. Offered as well coca flour, coca energy drinks, coca energy bars and coca sweats.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nevertheless it's undeniable that most of the coca production is used for the cocaine industry. Illegal coca leave cultivation and cocaine production in Peru increased dramatically. In 2000 coca bushes were grown on around 43,400 ha land; in 2010 this number has gone up more than 41% to 61,200 ha. Efforts of the Peruvian government to stem the problem don't really show effects. Even though the Peruvian government working together with different international cocaine buyer countries started a War against Drugs and carries out alternative development programs in the leading coca-growing areas in an effort to convince coca farmers not to grow that crop. Unfortunately these efforts had little impact on the production of coca. In most of these impoverished regions cocaine production is the only income source of farmers. Today Peru is one of the leading coca growers and among the top cocaine producers. Peruvian officials estimate that cocaine production for 2010 reached around 330 tons.</span></span><br />

When conducting business internationally, you must be able to speak more than one language and should be well versed in the practices of the country where you work. Understanding the needs of clients is crucial to your success, as is the ability to perform as part of a multinational team.</span></div>

You should be a proficient speaker and writer. Take time to research which languages are most important in your field. For finance careers, Asian and Latin American languages are useful. If you are interested in information systems management, consider Russian or the languages of developing nations.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Studying international business can prepare students for positions across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, for example in business, government, and international agencies. Students might expect their day-to-day work to revolve around international trade, global business operations and planning, or industrial development, for example. Additionally, international business studies can be greatly beneficial for students who plan to pursue graduate studies in areas such as law or public policy where a robust knowledge of international business can be helpful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">International business as a subject has become a complete discipline in itself. The process and degree of globalisation have made it essential for one and all to study international business.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">

<h4 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. World Market Place is full of Diversity:</span></b></h4>
<h3 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.769em; margin-top: 0.769em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The nations are diverse in terms of culture, politics, legal practices, economics and technology. International Business, despite an extension of domestic business is significantly different and complex due to differences in ‘environmental dynamics’ and ‘operational nature’. The diversity makes international business riskier to domestic business. Hence it is necessary to identify and understand the prevalent conditions in a particular country in which investment is to be made or with which trade is to take place vis-a-vis your own country.</span></div>

<b style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Globality:</span></b></h4>
<h3 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.769em; margin-top: 0.769em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The word globality was introduced at the 1999 World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. It refers to the results of the process of globalisation. International business comprises a large and growing portion of the world’s business. Global events affect all types of firms doing international business as well as domestic business.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Every firm’s management, whether involved in international business or not, is required to be aware of what is happening globally in its markets and its industry. No country can afford to neglect the foreign sector while drawing its economic policies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Most of the public policy issues are often related to international trade, investment and finance. At the time of introduction of VAT (Value added tax) in India, one of the reasons given was that it was in force in 123 countries of the world.</span></div>

<h3 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.769em; margin-top: 0.769em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">All business transactions are risky. A successful entrepreneur is one who manages to avoid or at least minimize risk. The basket of risks associated with an international transaction is likely to be different than that of an Indian domestic transaction.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Not only the risks are different but efforts to minimize the risk also differ. Also to be kept in mind is that, this basket of risks is constantly fluctuating.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The risk characteristics will vary according to the type of transaction. International transactions are categorised under four groupings – exports and imports, sale of services, licensing, and foreign direct investments.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The franchise, joint venture and counter-trade are hybrids of one or more of the four broad categories. While pursuing international business, firms will have to decide which mode of transaction or operation to use.</span></div>

<h3 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.769em; margin-top: 0.769em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">To do international business, not only the knowledge of business operations is necessary but a working knowledge of basic social sciences like politics, economics, anthropology, sociology, psychology and geography is also required to draw your own conclusions by studying external environment of the firm.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Political environment will tell us, as to how and why political leaders control, whether and how of international business. Legal environment (both national and international) will tell us about many kinds of laws by which business firms must operate. The cultural environment will tell us about attitudes, beliefs and opinions important to business people.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Economic environment will tell us about the economic system being followed by the host country, which may (or may not) be different from home country. It will also explain the variables (such as level of development, human resources, GDP and consumption patterns) that determine a firm’s ability to do business. Geography will tell us about location, quantity, and quality of the world’s resources.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Every business as part of its economic objectives always wants to grow. Domestic market is likely to saturate after a limit and then to grow further, geographical diversification outside the home market may be the only option.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">It can be noticed that all the large enterprises in the developed countries are international in character. Now it is the turn of developing countries’ firms (during the last three years Tatas have acquired Corns, Tetley Tea, Jaguar and Land Rover).</span></div>

<h3 style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0.769em; margin-top: 0.769em; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">To compete globally it is not necessary to be only big. A large number of small and medium firms are also getting involved in international business. The size is always not a constraint. In fact, fastest export growth has been recorded only among very small businesses. The mid-size firms have appropriate balance of size and agility. The importance of small and medium enterprise (SME) sector varies by nation.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">But in Taiwan and Korea they are a formidable force. Many of the Taiwanese small and medium industrial enterprises (SMIEs) are multinational in character. In years to come small and midsize is likely to grow rapidly.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In a country like India the role of SMEs cannot be overlooked. With the onset of liberalisation the mindset has really globalised. Many small businessmen procure their supplies from China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, etc. which was a rare phenomenon a decade back.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Who knows it that sometimes you may start your own business and import goods/ equipment, compete with international firms and export to other country markets. Yes, this is possible and the advent of e-commerce has opened many opportunities for SMEs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">You may be working in an IT firm and your project group might include managers from Latin America, Europe or North America (as Tatas are recruiting summer training students from business schools from different continents). A basic understanding of international business will help you to know as to why the team was formed, what it was expected to perform and how you could interact effectively with the team members representing different cultures. If you are working in an international firm you must have good understanding of international business to better assess your career opportunities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Study of international business is necessary to understand and keep updated about the best and the latest business techniques and tools developed outside one’s home market. To illustrate, Just-in-time (JIT) technique was developed by Japanese.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: 300; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Human resource techniques – empowerment, total quality management, cross-functional teams – were first used by Japanese and European business firms like Honda and Volvo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">To keep pace with future competitors it is essential to study international business.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">International business is on the syllabus of business education in almost all the universities worldwide. Management education is getting specialised from general MBA to MIB (Masters in International Business).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The top schools of India have started MIB course. MIB students learn foreign languages, travel across continents and do their summer jobs to learn more and more of other countries’ business.</span></div>
