Globalization is a process of rapid change that creates losers and winners. For businesses to become winners they need to exploit the efficiencies that integrated global markets offer and recognize that borders do matter. Institutional and cultural diversities can become barriers in exploiting the benefits of global market integration or building blocks for creating value. The area of international business highlights the opportunity of internationalization and develops the skills and strategies to exploit such opportunities.
