It is a mechanism to manage the affairs of human beings as they provided for their mutual, but not always equal, attainment of satisfaction. It is therefore a universal instrument that emerged out of the ordered exchange process and is to be found in all cultures. Its growth and maturity were fueled by common denominators of value that are shared across and between social groups around the world and act as a trade agent, bridging and bonding alien territories. As such it began in ancient times and continues into the present, where its prevalence has resulted in a more borderless world with increasing interdependence of nations. The historic commercial activities used in the past form the platform of principles still evident in its modern- day structure. 410 0$aInternational business collection.$x1948-2760 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aInternational business enterprises 610 $aancient commodities 610 $abusiness principles 610 $acompetition 610 $acost 610 $aeconomics 610 $aglobalization 610 $agovernment 610 $ainternational business 610 $amarket 610 $amediums of exchange 610 $aproprietary rights 610 $areligion 610 $asecular laws 610 $atechnology 610 $aworld trade 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 676 $a337 700 $aBeer$b Lawrence A.$0953706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828580203321 996 $aTracing the roots of globalization and business principles$94027433 997 $aUNINA
