Business And The International Economy
Overzicht
A clothes retailer in London sources cotton from India, assembles garments in Bangladesh and sells finished products to customers across Europe. That single supply chain crosses three continents, multiple currencies and several trade agreements. Understanding how businesses operate in this interconnected world is essential for any student of business studies.
In this lesson you will explore globalisation and why it matters, examine the role of multinational companies, learn how to calculate and interpret exchange rates, and analyse the impact that currency changes have on importers and exporters. These ideas run through both Paper 1 and Paper 2 of the Edexcel specification.
Doelstellingen
- Understand the concept of globalisation and the opportunities and threats of globalisation for businesses
- Understand the importance and growth of multinationals: benefits of a business becoming a multinational, benefits and possible drawbacks to a country and/or economy where a multinational is located
- Calculate exchange rates
- Understand the impact of exchange rate changes on international competitiveness and on importers and exporters
