A number of trends push economies to become more integrated and globalized.

As economies become more integrated, the barriers to international participation by firms become lower.

Consequently, a firm can move into foreign markets with greater ease, lower costs, and with better prospects for doing so profitably.

The Globalizing

Economy

Globalization and the internationalization of a firms business strategies

A firms internationalization proceeds first through a regionalization.

A typical multinational firm in the Asia Pacific might have operations in all Triad regions, but it is likely to have the majority of activities concentrated in other countries in the Asia Pacific.

Likewise, its competitors, suppliers and buyers will each have a strong focus on the Asia Pacific region.
