Question (1)

Changes in the global economy have led companies in emerging countries to focus on growth
and to shift their attention to overseas markets. To enter the international market, it is necessary
to understand the background of the industry in which a company operates and the
environmental factors that compose the company to achieve international success. It is necessary
to identify factors that are directly related to the market (customer preferences and preferences,
purchasing habits). Product design in each country) and growth potential. Other factors that need
to be analyzed are country appeal, degree of protectionism, political factors, public support, local
suppliers and qualified personnel.

Globalization is represented by a global network of symbols that can improve business


models, corporate strategies, new technologies, production processes, corporate work model
relocations, and new relationships between companies, suppliers and customers. Due to the high
level of local and international competition, outsourcing and relocation, domestic and
international competition is becoming more intense. In response to increasing competition, many
companies are implementing international strategies in sales activities and manufacturing of
products and services. To choose the best globalization strategy, a strategist (manager) who
understands how to describe a company's status and conditions in a global economic and
business environment and is responsible for leadership, decision-making, and results. Is required.
Generally speaking, change is the effect of change. The latter is to pay something, take
something or place it. That too is changing. Through a brief reflection, we have noticed that
things change over time, often they grow up, meet each other and become different shapes, ages
and deaths. Due to (in some cases) external or internal factors, the above may occur in organisms
or other important elements.

Organizations are not subject to the above restrictions. The potential to influence change can
exist in our social, family, or work life, and can also impact our work teams and entire
organizations.

One of the most difficult obstacles companies face is recognizing that defining their business
model is less effective than it once was. Markets are changing, customer preferences, or the
emergence of new technologies are facing the difficult decision of companies to change their
survival priorities..

In fact, few companies have succeeded in changing the core of their business to maintain their
livelihoods, in fact reversing trends and recapitalizing.

An example of a company that is aware of market changes and has decided to overturn its
seemingly fatal destination is the International Business Machines Corporation (.IBM), after its
market has been robbed by Microsoft and Apple's competitors. Focused on the survival of the
industry.

Other companies that are trying to reform themselves to avoid disappearance and drive growth
include:

1. PayPal: The company's founder Max Levchin declared that he worked on encryption for the
book "Founder at Work" in 1998, and later became a money transfer service via a PDA. Almost
killed the company after many years of trial and error and overcoming fraud scandals.
2. Google: In the first few months of its birth, the world's largest search engine didn't even have a
business model. In fact, Wired magazine editor John Batelle pointed out that Google was a low-
profit company at the time and was in a state of loss. After earning some revenue from selling
enterprise-oriented search engines, a company in Mountain View (California) decided to
participate in digital advertising through AdWords in 2003.

Google Reported Digital Marketing Revenues of $ 21 Billion in 2008, Changing How Digital
Content Is Generated.

3. Facebook: Initially, unlike other social networks, Mark Zuckerberg's platform is for college
students only and can only be used if invited. However, as this limited the growth of the
company, the founder decided in 2005 to make it public to anyone over the age of 13 with a valid
email address. Facebook sold 1.6% stake to Microsoft for $ 240 million, and there are rumors
that the first public offering (IPO) bothered the network.

4. YouTube: When Google acquired the video platform for $ 1.6 billion in 2006, Fox News said
the service hadn't announced a net profit yet, and that 2008 advertising revenue was only "$ 200
million". It was However, according to data released by Mashable in March 2010, YouTube's
annual revenue has reached about US $ 1 billion. This was achieved by signing cooperation
agreements with content developers such as NBC, ABC, CBS, and also launched a partnership
program that allows popular users to share the advertising revenue generated by their videos.

industry and the Japanese automotive industry are joint ventures developing new products and
technologies.

national rates.

disadvantages. According to foreign direct investment, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is
increasing year by year. Since the early 1960s, the expansion of Malaysia by multinational
companies has had a major impact on Malaysia's economic and social development. Technology
transfer is also conducted in Japan. Many are currently based on this technology. This is a
country advantage to attract foreigners to Malaysia, as it is one of the countries that has made
Malaysia a developed country. In addition, they can gain a lot of knowledge to train the talented
and educated people of the country. Multinational companies are also making huge profits to
Malaysia. These have many impacts on the benefits of the country, but they also bring
disadvantages to the country. When social transfers occur, they have some negative
consequences for the country. For example, if there are too many multinational companies from
abroad to invest in Malaysia, the locals will have little opportunity to invest in the domestic
industry as it will automatically dominate the industry. In addition to this, national technology
depends only on foreign countries. It simply allows foreign companies to capitalize on the
advantages of the host country and create their technologya.
