Global business is constantly influenced by the socio-economic setting in which it operates, an environment shaped by the interaction among political structures, society, non-governmental organizations, and the media. Understanding this interchange can mean the difference between success and failure in the marketplace. Too often businesses do well in their domestic market but struggle when they try to expand across borders. They make slow progress or no progress at all because they lack the proficiency and understanding to operate in a new environment.
