...that are affordable to a wide array of people. The countries that I think would be the best to do business with would be India and China. Both India and China have large export markets for fashion accessories. From what I have read, Chinese markets for non-textile related goods and India for textiles. China has some restrictions right now on the import of textiles, whereas India does not. It will most likely be easier to find an English speaking vendor in India. China is currently the world’s biggest trading nation as of last year, measured by the sum of both exports and imports of goods. China’s exports and imports of goods last year came to a total of $3.87 trillion. India’s current GDP in PPP is 7,393,076 million. China’s current GDP in PPP is 18,030,932 million. Both China and India constitute unprecedented stories of economic development. They have already reached heavyweight status in the global economy due to the vibrant growth rates in the last decade. For many of the countries around the world, China is rapidly becoming the most important bilateral trade partner. At this rate, many European countries will be doing more individual trade with China than with European partners. Merchandise trade is a factor that is impacting global trade today. Both China and India’s merchandise exports are dominated by manufactures. The composition of these manufactures and the approach to their production...

Most of them complete the direct export exporting by buying products from home market after receiving orders. They are known as export merchant. Again many exporters work as a percent agent.

...The paper (Thirlwall 1979) represents a model that long term growth rate of countries can be determined by the ratio of export growth and the income elasticity of demand for foreign goods. Particularly, the model uses the balance of payment as an indicator to determine counties growth rate. Base on the article, this essay is separated into three parts, first, introduces the article in relation to Thirlwall’s law. Second, demonstrates the arguments of Thirlwall’s law. Lastly, examines the weakness of the model. The present section briefly introduces the aims of Thrilwall’s paper. Firstly, the paper (Thirlwall 1979) judged the classical approaches by using productivities and factor supplies to explain the different growth rate between countries that was not satisfactory. As the result, the differences could be explained by the constraints on demand; indeed, the balance of payment is the central constraint for an open economy. Then, the paper predicts that the growth rate can be examined by the relation between foreign countries’ rate of income expansion, which are the income elasticity of demand for export and the income elasticity of demand for imports (Grullon 2011). Moreover, the paper used developed countries as evidence to approximate the growth rate by using the balance of payment constraint growth model. The first argument of Thirlwall’s law lies on the constraint on demand instead of supply side, by explaining the differences in growth rate between countries. The...

...The concept of ‘internationalization’ is strongly related to a process of involvement and accurate decision making regarding the entry or expansion into new or existing markets taking into consideration dynamic factors and limitations that could influence the entrepreneur. As Buckley J. and Ghauri N. (1999:85, 86) state, the meaning is used to describe how growth of international businesses is mainly dependant on the ‘inward-outward interlink’, thus acquiring foreign commitment over time through a six dimension pattern. The framework suggests that the success of international companies is linked to foreign operation methods and the change tendency as well as sales objects and targeted markets, organizational structure and personnel together with finance and technology. Therefore, in terms of analysing the start-up for a new venture, entrepreneurs should focus on developing and integrating the abovementioned and as Oviatt and McDougall (2004:31) indicate, gain the competitive advantage through resource utilisation and output sale in multiple countries. In order to achieve that, proactive strategies such as alliances, manufacturing capacity or marketing expertise should be taken into consideration as suggested by Buckley and Casson (1976:4) and consistent with a value added approach rather than asset owned. Therefore, the strategy is more concerned with small and medium size firms which start up locally and then mature to become consistent with the MNE theory and foreign direct...
