Each country has a different economic system, political system, and management style for doing business with respect to the culture and traditions of the country. Each country can be a real consideration for expanding your business in if the research is done by the business desiring to expand.

...Strategies for Competing Internationally As a consequence of the two opposing pressures, reduction of costs and local adaptation, companies have four basic strategies for competing internationally: 1. home replication 2. multidomestic 3. global 4. transnational The strategy that would be most appropriate for a company, overall and for various activities in the value chain, depends on the amount of pressure the company faces to adapt to local markets and achieve cost reductions. Each of these strategies has its own set of advantages and disadvantages: 1) A home replication strategy centralizes product development strategy in the home country, and after differentiated products are developed in this home market, they are transferred abroad to capture additional value. This strategic choice is sometimes called international strategy. 2) A global strategy tends to be used when a company faces strong pressures for reducing costs and limited pressure to adapt products for local markets. Strategy and decision making is typically centralized, and the company offers standardized products and services. Value chain activities are often located in only one or a few areas, to help achieve economies of scale. There is emphasis on close coordination and integration of activities across products and markets, and development of efficient logistics and distribution capabilities. Global strategies may confront challenges such as limited ability to adjust to changes in...

...How the U.S Health Care System Compares Internationally How the U.S Health Care System Compares Internationally The United States Health Care system is the most expensive in the world which continues to grow larger. The U.S ranks last because we have failed to achieve better health outcomes than the others. As an individual I feel that we can do a lot better only if we can figure out how to lower the Healthcare costs in the United States. Throughout the years they have been trying ways to cut the cost of healthcare, but we are nowhere near a solution. Among the 11 nations studied in this article Australia, Canada, Germany, France, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, and the United States the United Kingdom had the best overall Health Care Ranking. Living in the U.S, you would think that we would do a better job regarding quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives. We can better achieve these changes by learning from the other countries and by doing this the U.S should be able to make great improvements in within the Health Care System. Some of the improvements are being able to keep informed of broader issues and concerns such as how the system bears the cost of the insured and underinsured. Another is advocating policy changes at the legislative level and practicing more health promotion behaviors and using preventative services. There are many more ways that we can improve, but this can be...
