INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COOPERATION

Business is a word that is commonly used in many languages. It is a
combination of different activities: production, distribution, sale and
making profit.
For efficient business, nations export or import goods. Countries
naturally export those things that they can produce better or less expensively
than other countries and on the other hand they import things that cannot be
produced efficiently at home.
For example, Saudi Arabia imports automobiles and exports
petroleum; Japan, imports bananas and exports computers, etc. Ukraine is
rich in natural resources so it exports them while it tends to import technical
equipment.
These international relations are organized through joint ventures,
stock exchange or different multinational companies. The names and
products of many of the multinationals have become well-known in the
world marketplace: International Business Machines (IBM), General
Motors, Royal Dutch Shell, Sony, Coca-Cola and Volkswagen.
