People's transition from hunter and gatherer to settled order, urbanization and establishment of city-states, possession of seeds and products made division of labor and trade possible. This trade, which started with barter, led to the emergence of traders and businesses with the discovery of precious metals and money. The trade, which developed considerably through silk, took an international form. With the emergence of the railway and the telegraph, the businesses turned into increasingly gigantic enterprises.
The source of land, product, technology, knowledge and welfare has now become a commercial power. To have this power, military units were formed, alliances were made, laws were made and wars were made. Empires collapsed, regimes disappeared. Everything has come to an end, but the trade has not come to an end, he is still alive.
In this book, the theoretical and conceptual framework of international business is expressed and explained with case studies. International business is handled thematically with a multi-disciplinary approach.
