The nations are practicing internationalization end up enjoying the benefits of global networking. Internationalization provides no room for free migrations among the nations involved. Thus, the countries use the same channel to achieve the goals of their national interest. Globalization, on the other hand, is the global economic integration of the national economies. The networking between them results to free mobility, free trade, capital mobility, and migrations that are not controlled. In globalization, countries interact just as in one business and one country. Tedious travels to and from one country are significantly low between the nations (Luthans & Doh, 2018, 68).

DALEY AND THE 1968 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION DISCUSSION The 1968 clashes and violence that happened in Chicago between police and demonstrators remains to be one of the biggest and polarizing showdowns to happen in 1960. The anticipated anxiety exploded on the night of Aug 28, with numerous groups being involved who had different motives and techniques. Yippies wanted to have outdoor sex while black Chicagoans wanted to challenge the brutality of the police, and the supporters of McCarty wanted several changes done in the government system. Therefore, not all demonstrators had the intention to cause chaos as purported by Chicago Mayor Daley. In the documentary, a group of Yippies can be seen holding posters while on a peaceful demonstration. As recalled by one of the demonstrators Katz, they were holding peaceful demonstrations until the police become exceedingly brutal, making them fight back. It’s during this time that Daley unleashed the Chicago Police department to deal with the demonstrators where he gives them permission to “shoot and kill” in certain situations (Farber, 2015). He deployed 12,000 police in the street and…

Summarize the evaluation of Grolsch’s international performance   Organizational structure Grolsch product-oriented organizational model makes less impact on understanding consumer needs and geographical variations and market trends. Further evaluation should be done in the market to understand it, especially on the geographical aspect, targeting the new venture of the product outside western Europe. Maba (Market Attractiveness, Bussiness Assessment The need to reevaluate this framework is highly recommended as it is biased; the framework excludes some of the potential markets for growth like Brazil and South Africa. With the nature of bias of the framework, it does not put the company at the competitive sot globally. Ordinarily, Grolsch mainly relied only on the western market using the Blue ocean strategy now to maximize their profits; new business markets must be created. The targeted new markets are the consumers in the developing markets. The company does not face threats by new entrants has it is enjoying consumer loyalty from the western consumer and have become a giant with big financial muscles.

International Trade Agreements   Summary In this paper, the author, Dani Rodrik, is concerned with the transformation of trade agreements beyond import tariffs and quotas. The objective of the article was to present an alternative to using trade agreements to neutralize protectionists and instead focusing on agreements that promote rent-seeking-interests, politically well-connected firms as well as multinational firms. While many trade agreements tend to enhance domestic interests, trade agreements suggested in the article could be utilized to promote international interests instead. According to Rodrik, trade agreements can only be viewed as efficiency-enhancing policies if they were focused on eliminating trade restrictions, including quotas and import tariffs. Rodrik criticizes the re4cent trade agreements, including the Trans-Atlantic Trade, Investment Partnership, and Trans-pacific Partnership, claiming that they do not act in favor of free trade agreements. In this article, free trade is perceived as an appropriate medium for promoting technological progress. The author suggests that economists who conflate trade agreements with free trade base their arguments from a political economy perspective that views import-competing interests as the most powerful and dominant tools of…

International investment, on the other hand, consists in investing on a global level, through capitalizing on the various advantages offered in the worldwide community, with the aid of different potential strategies (Hirsch, 1976). International trade enables consumers in a given country have access to products that are not available in their country, and at cheaper rates. According to Vernon (2015), international trade is into two major classifications. These are the classical country-based theories and modern firm-based theories. The classical country-based theories consist of different other international trade theories, such as mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and Heckscher-Ohlin theories. The modern firm-based approaches include country similarity, product life cycle, global strategic rivalry, and Porter’s national competitive advantage theories (“What is international trade theory?”, 2015). This assignment seeks to answer questions on both comparative and competitive advantage theories, and how a nation may enhance its competitiveness on the global market. Michael Porter introduced the competitive advantage theory in the 1990s (Huggins…
