PBS Special On 3D Printing – Will 3D Printing Change The World?

Believers herald 3D Printing as a revolutionary and disruptive technology, but how will these printers truly affect our society? Beyond an initial novelty, 3D Printing could have a game-changing impact on consumer culture, copyright and patent law, and even the very concept of scarcity on which our economy is based. From at-home repairs to new businesses, from medical to ecological developments, 3D Printing has an undeniably wide range of possibilities which could profoundly change our world.

China Devaluing Currency And What It Means For Global Business

By now, everyone has seen the news that China has devalued its currency. This means the Yuan Renminbi is weaker. When you exchange currency, you can now buy more Yuan for each dollar spent. If China is really the world's second largest economy, than the Renminbi (People's Currency) effects world markets. China is always accused of currency manipulation. Who is to blame? Who can be blamed in international business?

This is being criticized by every foreign government and many businesses that trade with China. After all, if Chinese money is weaker, that means that US products sold into China become more expensive. Take the example of Mandarin Oranges for sale in China, but imported from the USA. An 8 kg box costs between $20 and $30. With the weaker Chinese currency, this could cost 25 percent more this year. Thus, the imported oranges are more expensive and the Chinese will buy less of them from the USA, critics say.

On the flip side, items we buy from China will cost less. Importers of (e.g.) Chinese toys will pay less. If the US importers keep the price constant, then the importers will benefit and make more money.

Here is the problem. If your firm is selling a price-based commodity to Chinese buyers (rice, soy, oil, hogs, corn, cotton, etc.) your sales may suffer because your price is too high.

But if you are selling iPhones or BMW's, the higher price may not matter. Higher prices may even work as an advantage, because the products are more expensive and hence more prestigious. Are we really going to once again, blame currency instead of the real problem….our laziness to go after and service global markets efficiently?

Global Business Video – Who Gets The Best Deal In International Business?

The savvy leader is inclined to search abroad for any and all potential new markets for their product or service. New markets offer the possibility of increasing total revenue and/or decreasing the costs of goods sold, thereby increasing profits. Entering new markets may also allow a company to follow its existing customers abroad, attack competitors in their home markets, guarantee a continued supply of raw materials, acquire technology or ingenuity, diversify geographically, or satisfy the stockholder's desire to expand.

In many cases, with many companies, it is survival. There simply isn't enough domestic demand to keep many firms in business, without going overseas.Hence the need for International Business.

Once management has made the decision to expand and has determined the target market or markets, the next question is obviously, “how”. Selecting a mode for entering or expanding in a foreign market is one of the most crucial strategic decisions that can be made by a company. Weighing all factors and choosing the proper mode of entry can result in huge competitive advantages, while making a poor decision can lead to the demise of the company.

Often, international people without the knowledge base or the necessary contacts are tasked with “going international.” 99% of the time, they will fail.

Foreign market penetration can be done by a variety of different methods; each possibility should be assessed before the process begins.
