Before making a decision about entering into the global market, business owners must familiarize themselves with some macro- and microeconomic concepts:
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund
Imports and exports as part of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Multinational corporations
Foreign direct investment and capital flows
Foreign exchange market and exchange rates
Labor theory of value
Marginal rate of transformation
Gains from trade, comparative advantage
Economies of scale
In a paragraph each, define these terms. Then, discuss how these terms individually apply to both supply and demand and to a business owner who is contemplating
