Defining Global
Operations
♦ International business - engages in cross-

♦ Multinational Corporation - has extensive
involvement in international business,
owning or controlling facilities in more
than one country

♦ Global company - integrates operations


from different countries, and views world
as a single marketplace
♦ Transnational company - seeks to
combine the benefits of global-scale

♦ NAFTA - a free trade agreement
between Canada, Mexico, and the
United States
♦ AFTA – a free trade agreement among
the Asian countries

centralization, with headquarters
coordinating to seek standardization and
learning between plants
♦ Transnational Strategy: Exploits
economies of scale and learning, as well
as pressure for responsiveness, by
recognizing that core competencies reside
everywhere in the 2-65
