INTRODUCTION
Subject Matter of International Business
1. International economics deals with economic relations among nations. The resulting interdependence is very important to the economic well-being of most nations of the world and is on the increase. Most nations of the world export some goods, services and factors of production in exchange for imports which could be supplied less efficiently at home, or not at all (e.g. coffee in Ukraine, petroleum in Germany, cars in Kenya). Thus, a great deal of economic well-being of most nations rests crucially on international interdependence. In general, the larger the nations, the smaller its economic interdependence with the rest of the world. Economic relations and interdependence among nations influence (and are in turn influenced by) the political, social, cultural and military relations.
2. The economic relations among nations differ from the economic relations among the various parts of a nation. This gives rise to different problems, requiring somewhat different tools of analysis, and justifies international economics as a distinct and separate branch of economics. EXAMPLE: When a U.S firm wants to export a piece of machinery to Germany, it faces certain restrictions (such as a tariff) imposed by Germany. It must also overcome differences in language, customs and laws. In addition, the U.S. firm may receive payment in the foreign currency which may change in value in relation to the dollar. No such barriers are involved when the U.S. firm sells its machinery domestically.
