what are the advantages of international trade?

International trade is all about opening up bigger markets.\n**For one we want to sell our products to a larger number of customers. \nIn theory this should lead to better relations with these countries too.\n** Another advantage is the competition for export sales makes for better products and cheaper prices. \n**The same applies for importing products, it is competition that keeps prices low.\n\nI know this is not a lot, but hope it helps.\nYou may find something of interest here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_trade

Not sure what you mean by imports and exports, it's skin and associated tissue, so it's semi-permeable and depending on species it will sweat, excrete oil, grow hair, nails, feathers, scales, etc. See source.

Absolutely an opportunity. Everyone gains from free trade (theory of comparative advantage) this has been emperically proven to be the case for previously developing nations such as South Korea. If anyone can provide a legitimate economically sound reason why globalization would be bad for a developing nation I would be very surprised.

Global trade; Globalisation\n\n\nTrade will help bring countries togeather. Stop future unrests between countries.\n\nMakes countries and industries iterdependant so that the global and local economies will become more stable. \n\nBring better living conditions to the Indians through the infusion of new technologies in to their industries. \n\nBad: India is a very self sufficient nation; and very powerful too. Promoting global trade will greatly help India become a major powerhouse which will be a large threat to the developed nations.  \n\n\nSorry if i deviated from the point. Hope this helps

there is only one advantage in the globalisation issue and that is rich US based companies get richer they use cheap third word country people for their work force import cheap inferior products that are sold at premium prices and make high profits. \nthe disadvantages is people are put out of work small businesses are closed down local farmers go broke    in Australia today the large US companies are sending our farmers broke by importing cheap rubbish into the country and refusing to stock Australian products they closing small businesses down by undercutting prices they control must of the supermarkets and fuel outlets they are restricting choices Us industry is even trying to influence our health care system trying to make a user pays system such as the American system. \nI am sorry but I prefer to have free choice I like to buy Australian and support my country  not US profits.  I like to know that if I or any member of my family get sick I can go to hospital for treatment not get turned away because I dint have health insurance. America the land of the free... I think not..

It would be good ole Democracy with two exceptions....There would be laws on profit margins. There would also be heavy tarrifs on imports! This is solely what is causing our economics to go downhill.

Figuring you are wondering about multinational companies.  Here's the advantage, they can exploit the particular and unique efficiencies of each country they operate in. \n  If they operate in Switzerland, Vietnam and France like Sanofi Pharma, they can utilize the technology of pharm development in Switzerland, test and produce like they do in Vietnam, and utilize the French ability for international distribution.  Each of the nations have a comparative advantage over the others in these processes, where a company only utilizing what one of the countries would suffer the disadvantages of the nation's weakness in a particular area.\n  A darker side of multinationals is the negotiating power that they have that derives from their ability to threaten a nation with leaving if the government does not meet some beneficial demands.  As you can imagine, this is easier in some instance than others.  Easier to threaten a small country than a large.  Easier to make the threat believable if another country offers a viable advantage.\n   One more real advantage, that is under represented in the pop press, is the ability of multinational companies to synthesize and leverage knowledge of the world market to prevent mistaken assumptions or to extrapolate a better understanding of global or even national market trends.  Examples of this are Coca Cola, Nestle, Shell where they use the global mindset of the combined members of their firm to guide it.  Some lousy examples are Ford, John-Deere, where entering a market offers knowledge of a new perspective, but the companies still employ the same policies as before.  Look at their senior management.  John Deere is terrible (great history-ruined), getting eaten alive from Chinese firms, yet top management are are all current and ex-lawyers.  Walmart for example,(better managed) top management are all logisticians.

Trading is the business of matching buyers and sellers. With international trading, you deal with people from different countries where you act as a middleman between the two entities located in different countries.\n\nFrom the article "Starting Your Own Home-Based International Trading Agency," it says that you need to first have knowledge of trading activities. Credibility and trust are extremely important in this business, and you must demonstrate to your clients that you possess the knowhow to represent them and get the best business for them. If you have no background in trading, you may want to enroll in some classes first (our county for example offers international trading classes for very low rates).\n\nYou may also want to read the following books to get more in-depth information about this business:\n\n- Import/Export: How to Get Started in International Trade \n- Exporting, Importing, and Beyond : How to 'Go Global' With Your Small Business \n- Selling to the World: Your Fast and Easy Guide to Exporting and Importing \n- Start and Run a Profitable Exporting Business \n- Start Your Own Import/Export Business

okay, the tariff, as you know, is a tax on imported goods from other countries.  Governments implement tariffs in order to discourage other countries from selling their goods here.  \nHow does this affect our economy? The US's Net exports (a factor which contributes to the nation's wealth, therefore the higher the net exports, the better for our economy) equals the US exports minus imports.  The tariffs reduce imports, and therefore increaces the NET EXPORTS, which adds to the US wealth.  \nThis is also good for another reason.  Becuase the US exports increase and the imports decrease as a result of the tariff, other countries need the US dollar in order to buy the US goods.  As a result of the increase in demand, the dollar will become more valuable, or appreciate, making the dollar stronger abroad.  \n\nThe negative aspect actually comes as a result of the prior two advantages.  As the dollar becomes stronger, it becomes more expensive for other countries to buy the US goods, therefore discouraging the exports that initially rose as a result of the tariff.  So, in the end, there is no change in the NET EXPORTS, this disadvantage and the first advantage balance each other out. \n\nSO, after looking at three main outcomes of implementing a tariff, the advantage to the economy is this:  The dollar becomes stronger abroad, therefore making it cheaper for the US to buy other countries goods, even if fewer imports are being brought in to the US.  It also decreases foreign competition for US based companies\n\nHope this helps, good luck with the paper!

ADVANTAGES\n\n1) It allows a supplier to be innovative and develop economy in his processes because he can count on long-term business with a purchaser. \n\n2) Operational advantages.  Two suppliers can both produce excellent materials, but there will be differences between the two.  A change in material from one vendor to another causes a loss in time. \n\n3) Lot-to-lot variation from any one supplier is usually enough to give fits to manufacturing.  It is reasonable to expect that variation between lots from two suppliers will give even more trouble. \n\n4) Simplification of accounting and paperwork from decrease in number of suppliers and fewer shipping points.\n\n5) When you can count on quality parts then less time and money is spent on inspection of parts received.  \n\nDISADVANTAGES\n\n(1) May limit an organization’s flexibility and agility. While a long-term plan is required to achieve a complete quality transformation, but a long-term plan that has been pursued for a long period may become an end unto itself. \n\n(2) It calls for organizational change, it does not demand radical organizational reform. Real quality improvement requires radical structural change, such as flattening organizational structures. It requires liberation of employees from stifling control systems and the tyranny of functionalism, both of which stifle teamwork.\n\n(3) It  delegates the determination of quality to quality experts rather than to "real" people.  It takes what is common sense to the ordinary worker and makes it sound complicated by changing the name and dressing it up with technical language.\n\n(4) It calls for the elimination of performance assessments that rate employees in relation to each other.  Many managers feel performance assessments let them document employee performance for possible reward, but some employees fear the assessments might be used against them in some disciplinary actions. Performance assessments may give employees with grievances the documentation they need to prove managers are treating them unfairly. Without them, managers could make unfair accusations about an employee’s performance and the employee would not have the documentation to counter the claims.\n\n(5) It focuses manager attention on internal processes rather than on external results. When this is taken to an extreme, managers may become too preoccupied with internal issues and ignore the shifting perceptions of customers.

If we could trade, then we would have an advantage in our own countries, wouldn't we?  Everyone would say "Wow, cool accent!"
