aspect to the economies of most countries.  Everything has shifted now to a global
mindset, so the best chances to thrive in this world, especially in the business

Although it is said that the world is becoming ever smaller in the 21st century, there are
still many differences in business practices across different countries (and even within
the same companies) that you will need to be aware of and prepared for. If you end up
working for an international corporation, processes may be standardised worldwide,

Expose to the different socio pollical conditions of countries
Reason # 4. Different Socio-Political Conditions:
Finally, socio-political environment varies from country to country, although such environment is
uniform within a country. 
Market for commodity transactions between different nations is largely governed by its own
geographical boundaries, social institutions and customs, habits, choice, etc. Within a country,
one observes same social institutions and business customs. Throughout the world, a uniform
set of socio-political environment can never exist. 
However, all these are not sufficient reasons for the emergence of trade. For instance, if a unique
currency system prevails between different nations, trade may also emerge.
Reason # 1. Different Monetary Systems:
First is the independent monetary system. Each country has its own currency and own banking
system. Within a region the same currency unit prevails. But for making international
transactions domestic currency is of 110 use. 
Further, a foreign exchange rate (i.e., the rate at which one currency, say rupee, is exchanged for
another currency, say dollar) has an important bearing on exports and imports. As a result, one
country may gain while others may loose. However, different regions while carrying on their
business/trade activities remain insulated from such change.

International business allows countries to be more interconnected than ever. It
becomes an imperative aspect of the economies of most countries. Businesses have now
shifted to a global mindset; hence, it is also important for business students to have an
international mindset about business. Smith (2022) suggests that students need to study
international business because it allows them to recognize how globalization has brought about
an increasing interconnectedness of people, and information, especially in business and
market. This paper will discuss why business students need to study international business.

First, it develops the understanding of business students about international business


such as its concepts, important facts, principles, and theories. International business accounts
for a sizable share of trade growth, global gross domestic product and employment in both
developed and developing countries (University of York, n.d.).  As these reasons continue to
motivate countries and businesses to increasingly go across borders, business students must
have an understanding of what constitutes them, and what the developments brought about
by international business. For instance, they will learn about the economic impact of
international business on countries as well as how cultural, political and legal factors play an
important role in facilitating international business. For these reasons, business students not
only will they develop an understanding, but will have the opportunity to apply these to a wide
range of issues arising in business, which will be further discussed below.

Second, studying international business provide a global perspective on business.
