International trade began to assume in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The volume of trade which moved in international channels during 1947 is estimated to have been greater by at least 10 per cent than the 1946 volume and was probably slightly above the 1938 level.

volume

The level of world trade in 1957 reached the unprecedented figure of just over $100 billion, thus continuing the expansion that has been

characteristic of world trade for the past ten years.

In the course of these ten years, world exports have more than doubled from $46,800 million in 1947 to $102,000 million (preliminary figure) in 1957. 0

Exports

The increase over 1956 amounted to 11 per cent.

Two main forces contributed to the increase:

1. world industrial production which increased by four per cent; and

2. the prices of goods, which increased by five per cent.

As in 1956, the main expansion was due to greater exports of the industrial countries, which are the world's largest traders,

Globalization: Integrating and merging of the distinct world markets into a single market……..

Economic Revenue/GDP the global trade which was just 12% of the world GDP in 1962

increased to 30% of the world GDP in 1993.

The four stages

1. Domestic in focus 2. Home focus, but with exports

(ethnocentric). 3. Adapt stage two organizations marketing

mixes to overseas operations. The focus switches to multinational (polycentric) and adaption becomes paramount.

4. Global organizations which create value by extending products and programmes and focus on serving emerging global markets (geocentric)

International trade theory

To predict patterns of trade and to analyze the effects of trade policies.

1. Ricardian model: countries specialize in producing what

they produce best 2. Heckscher-ohlin model:. It predicts that countries will

export those goods that make intensive use of locally abundant factors and will import goods that make intensive use of factors that are locally scarce.

3. New trade theory: most trade is between countries with similar factor endowment and productivity levels, and the large amount of multinational production (ie foreign direct investment) which exists.

4. Gravity model of trade: The gravity model, in its basic form,

predicts trade based on the distance between countries and the interaction of the countries' economic

sizes
