Summary

There is no doubt about the increasing awareness of the importance of international and cross-border transactions in our daily life. When people say that 'the world is becoming smaller every day,' they are referring not only to the increased speed and ease of transportation and communications but also to the increased use of international and cross-border market to buy and sell goods. The overall heightened presence of foreign goods, foreign producers and even foreign-owned assets causes many to question the impact and desirability of all international and cross-border transactions. An increasing number of companies are now relying on production chains that straddle many politically distinctive areas. Raw materials and components may come from different linguistic or religious areas and be assembled in another, while marketing and distribution take place in still other venues. Consumers' decisions in, for example, New York or Tokyo may become information that has an almost immediate impact on the products that are being made -- and the styles that influence them -- all over the world.
