In the midst of the help from the extremely advanced transportation, modern production methods, rapid industrialization and the increasing facilities of outsourcing of trade and services the international trade organization is increasing and decreasing very fast in the globe.

After reading the first half of the text, I learned about the topics of globalization, economic development, international financial markets, and more. International business is relevant in almost all news articles today. Although I have learned a large measure of information from each chapter, I was mostly interested in chapter five’s topic of international trade which discussed how countries sell, purchase, or exchange goods across national boarders.

The chapter speaks about the meaning of International trade, its concept and its growth both from the global perspective and in the Indian perspective. It also deals about the risk in foreign trade.

Export and FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) increases in the future, globalization reaches higher scope, businesses have to consider these trends (OECD, 2007).

By way of comparison, the level of world GDP rose eight-fold during the same period. As a consequence, the share of international trade in world GDP has risen from 5.5 per cent in 1950 to 20.5 per cent in 2006.” Many factors have helped contribute to this growth and development of world trade. First and most influential is technological change. This advancement has drastically reduced the high costs of transportation and communication, two very critical elements of globalization. In more recent years, jet engines and containerization have helped contribute to the reduction of the cost of previously extremely costly transportation. Thus, the array and volume of goods traded have increased. The coordination of producing goods has always been a difficult task however a transformation in information technology has made it substantially easier to trade and to coordinate this production all over the world. In return, goods are spread easier and much cheaper.

Increase and development of competition. Due to the entry of foreign competitors into the domestic market, local companies have to become more efficient, favouring prices down and increase the quality and performance of their products.

International trade indicates a large part of the economic research of production growth. Market size has grown from exports of a companies’ products. By exporting a company learns about the foreign markets. The company may gain some expertise from feedback they obtain from the buyer. This is called the learning-by-exporting theory.

International trade is an old subject, but it continues to increase its relevance thanks to the intensification of links between countries. In fact, they are now more than ever interconnected through trade in goods and services, through cash flows and investments. These phenomena increase pervasively due to the growing trend toward globalization. Therefore, many theories, which highlight the gains from trade, were created and then developed and some of them are useful to explain the current international trade.
