Domestic <strong>Business</strong><br />

Operations<br />

The economic, political, legal,<br />

socio-cultural, competitive and<br />

technology environments are known<br />

Can be worked out for short terms<br />

and carried forward to long term<br />

The maximum domestic competitive<br />

forces operate and one can<br />

understand their movements as they<br />

are visible<br />

Local currency is used for<br />

transactions. Costing, pricing,<br />

revenue and margins are computed<br />

in a single currency. Volatility may<br />

have a minimum impact in business<br />

in short term. One can overcome<br />

easily.<br />

Comparatively one can predict<br />

future risks and shocks and they will<br />

not have a major impact on the<br />

businesses with strong background.<br />

It is reasonable and easy to conduct<br />

business research, demand analysis<br />

and customer surveys. It is also<br />

reliable.<br />

Due to past laurels and established<br />

systems, corporates can succeed<br />

even if the human resources have<br />

minimum skills and knowledge.<br />

Team commitments is evaluated and<br />

appraised<br />

Narrowed down to work in a single<br />

country with a steady growth<br />

objective. Each one will understand<br />

the vision and objective easily.<br />

Adapted to the local environment, as<br />

per the requirements of the domestic<br />

customers affordability, beliefs,<br />

values, cultural elements and buying<br />

<strong>International</strong> <strong>Business</strong><br />

Operations<br />

The environment is not fully known.<br />

Innumerable hidden factors which may<br />

emerge any time to pose as problems.<br />

They will lead to pitfalls.<br />

Only long term planning and strategy<br />

will work. Strategic inputs are required<br />

in multiples.<br />

<strong>International</strong> competitive forces play a<br />

vital role and its difficult to understand<br />

their motive and movement<br />

Transactions are carried out in various<br />

currencies. Fluctuations in cross<br />

currency movement and associated risks<br />

are common. Currency fluctuation<br />

influences pricing and costing and<br />

investment decisions.<br />

Very difficult to predict and risks may<br />

crop up at any time, due to the political<br />

situation, the society itself and several<br />

unknown factors.<br />

Very expensive and difficult to conduct.<br />

Reliability criteria depends on<br />

individual countries and there is no<br />

uniformity in the output and findings.<br />

Multilingual, multi-strategic and multicultural<br />

human resources and they<br />

should be able to withstand large risks.<br />

Every individual is profit center, hence,<br />

accountable.<br />

Broadened to cover many countries and<br />

geographic and cultural diversity may<br />

influence the vision and objective.<br />

Varies from country to country subject<br />

to regulations. This is especially true for<br />

consumer & medicinal items.<br />

Standardization, adaptability, usage<br />
