WHAT IS GLOBAL BUSINESS?

1) The factor that I would consider as more essential is capital as it is the starter of the entire
business. One needs money to start up any business no matter how small it is. Capital could be in
cash mode with which an organization buys possessions or assets (Braithwite, & Drahos, 2000).
Capital could also be in the form of properties. The fixed flow of money is essential to keep an
organization moving.
2) The political system that supports business innovation, product advancement, and consumer
protection is the democratic system. With this system, every individual has the freedom to take
part in the law building. People can participate in the administrative course which is a favorable
condition in a business environment.
3) Government model change impacts global business in taxations, as that is its money source.
An increase in government’s spending signifies higher tax which in return demoralizes
investment. Also, government tactics rely on current political breeding. A regular political order
welcomes an excellent business atmosphere that captivates overseas investors (Horrigan, 2010).
4) Adaptation of various languages, denominations, and duties or customs is vital in a global
market environment as one can freely interact with people from different backgrounds across the
continent. Being able to relate with various clients makes it easier for one to operate his or her
business.
5) An international organization can protect itself in dealing with non-U-S personnel by bridging
the variance in question. Cross-cultural awareness and intercultural conferences can achieve it.
This merging assists in narrowing the gap between the two hence a better business relationship.
6) The concept of ‘first-mover’ is whereby a product or a service hits the market for the first time
and without a similar competitor. In this case, it is quite advantageous to business owners as

everybody’s interest and focus are on the new brand or service. It gains popularity resulting in
higher demand which is a plus for the company.
7) Government quota policy dictates the tax on imported commodities. The tax could be slightly
higher the prices of a good or even more than double its price. Consumers have to dig deeper
into their pockets to purchase those goods (Levinsohn, 1989). A quota restrains excess products
from getting into the country to protect the local producers from extreme high competitions.
Government gains from those taxes.
