Abstract

Many companies have implemented international strategies in order to increase profits and reduce costs (Landrum, 2012). International strategies include mergers, acquisitions, direct foreign investment, exports, licensing and joint ventures. International strategies “allow companies to exploit market imperfections through factor inputs (such as labor and capital) or raw materials (such as natural resources) that can be obtained cheaper in foreign markets” (Landrum, 2012, p. 43). The use of these strategies has led to “extraction and exploitation of human, political, natural, and economic resources” (Landrum, 2012, p. 43), particularly within emerging economies.
