Introduction
• On a political map, country borders are clear as
ever. But on a competitive map, financial, trading,
and industrial activities across national boundaries
have rendered those political borders increasingly
irrelevant.
• Not only firms that compete internationally but also
those whose primary market is considered domestic
will be affected by competition from around the
world.
