This aspect is important because the stability of political in Finland could affect the whole industry. Finland is one of members of World Trade Organization (WTO), where the country offers large free markets. These large free markets operate without taxation in import as the transactions are based on negotiation and agreement. With this, it will be a great opportunity for Oldtown White Coffee to expand their business in Finland’s market and make a profit out of it. Economics Economic factors affect the purchasing power of consumers and the firm’s cost of capital. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Finland contracted at an annual rate of 0.40 percent in the last reported quarter. Based on statistic, from 1975 until 2010, Finland's average quarterly GDP Growth was 0.56 percent reaching an historical high of 5.00 percent in September of 1980 and a record low of -5.30 percent in March of 2009. Wages and salaries of worker in Finland increase 5.5% of national income from year 2005 until 2009. Finland has continues to attract foreign investment due to its economic success. With the strong economic status, Finland is surely suitable country for Oldtown White Coffee to expand their business.

...rapid social and cultural transformation in the past decade, mostly due to substantial western influence in every sphere of life. Coffee not only evolved from a mere commodity to a competing brand across companies, but there also has been a significant shift in its consumption pattern. Consumption of coffee at a coffee chain has grown at a rapid pace and has almost outgrown the consumption in our living rooms. Global giants like Barista and Costa Coffee have opened up retail outlets in India, though the café market is mostly dominated by Café Coffee Day in India. Through this research, I would try to evaluate the industry attractiveness of a new global coffee chain trying to enter Indian market and set up outlets here. In order to do that, one needs to find out the possible entry barriers, consumer buying patterns, and brand switching potential pertinent to this industry. I will first assess the right demographic or region to target and the degree of penetration feasible in these sections. The research will try to capture basic parameters like reservation price of the customers, frequency of purchase, expected...

...Running head: A Portfolio of International Business A Portfolio of International Business Kathaleen Hull International Business 662 Harding University Abstract Understanding how we learn as adults, what positive and courageous leadership looks like, international business defined and ventures in global business we are able to look at international business as a whole. All of these components affect how we do business beyond borders and give us an idea of what components are required as a professional in a vast growing global market. A Portfolio of International Business Defining International Business According to BusinessDictionary.com, international business can be summarized as the exchange of goods and services among individuals and businesses in multiple countries or a specific entity, such as a multinational corporation or international business company that engages in business among multiple countries. (BusinessDictionary.com) Knowing that the definition of International in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is defined as relating to two or more nations and that business in the Merriam-Webster dictionary is defined as a commercial or sometimes an industrial enterprise; I think Business Dictionary’s definition of international business is very accurate. (Merriam-Webster Online) When you think international business, the non-profit sector is probably not the first type of organization that comes to mind. Heifer International is a non-profit entity that...
