Why not start business in abroad? • As the pace of globalization quickens so does the race into new markets—with the promise of large, wealthy emerging markets too attractive to ignore. • But success in this race does not necessarily go to the swiftest. Rather, it goes to companies that make the right moves at the right times. Location is still important, but timing is the name of this retail game.

3. What is International Business • Any firm that engages in International trade or Investment. • A business that is primarily based in a single country but acquires some meaningful share of its resources or revenues (or both) from other countries • International business refers to business activities that involve the transfer of resources, goods, services, knowledge, skills, or information across national boundaries.When business can do this, it can achieve a very good return on investment and useful global operations.

7. Why Delegation • Everyone knows about delegation. Most managers hear about it in the cradle as mother talks earnestly to the baby-sitter: "just enjoy the television ... this is what you do if ... if there is any trouble call me at ..."; people have been writing about it for nearly half a millennium; yet few actually understand it. • Delegation underpins a style of management which allows your staff to use and develop their skills and knowledge to the full potential. Without delegation, you lose their full value. • Delegation is primarily about entrusting your authority to others. This means that they can act and initiate independently; and that they assume responsibility with you for certain tasks. If something goes wrong, you remain responsible since you are the manager; the trick is to delegate in such a way that things get done but do not go (badly) wrong.

8. Objective: • The objective of delegation is to get the job done by someone else. Not just the simple tasks of reading instructions and turning a lever, but also the decision making and changes which depend upon new information. With delegation, your staff have the authority to react to situations without referring back to you. • To enable someone else to do the job for you, you must ensure that: • They know what you want • They have the authority to achieve it • They know how to do it. • These all depend upon communicating clearly the nature of the task, the extent of their discretion, and the sources of relevant information and knowledge.

9. What to delegate • There is always the question of what to delegate and what to do yourself, and you must take a long term view on this: you want to delegate as much as possible to develop you staff to be as good as you are now. • Once you have delegated everything, what do you do then? • You still need to monitor the tasks you have delegated and to continue the development of your staff to help them exercise their authority well.

10. There are managerial functions which you should never delegate - these are the personal/personnel ones which are often the most obvious additions to your responsibilities as you assume a managerial role. Specifically, they include: motivation, training, team-building, organization, praising, reprimanding, performance reviews, promotion. • As a manager, you have a responsibility to represent and to develop the effectiveness of your group within the company; these are tasks you can expand to fill your available time - delegation is a mechanism for creating that opportunity.

30. Global Retailing Retailers are improving their image by assuming greatersocial responsibility. In doing so, they’re meeting the needs of society as a whole, rather than just focusing on maximizing profits. They provide their facilities for art exhibits, forums and community activities. Executives lead fund-raising drives that benefit the community, underwrite programs, sponsor events, and mentor students. Being a business owner provides opportunities for you to be involved in issues that matter to you and your customers.

31. Benefits of Retailing • Every retailer and supplier wants to find the perfect investment opportunity. • While each company will define this differently, according to its strategic aims and existing portfolio, Premier International believes that there are a series of criteria that all investors are likely to consider favorable when assessing the potential of new or existing markets.

32. These includes: • High political and economic stability • Good quality infrastructure • Low level of retailer competition • Size of the food retail market and food retail spend per capita • The potential for future growth in both foods

33. While many markets display a large number of these criteria, none have them all and Premier’s International believe there is no such thing as ‘the perfect market opportunity’. • For example: The United States benefits from a high level of political and economic stability, a good quality infrastructure and a considerable food retail market. However, it is a highly competitive market and while it is likely to be attractive to some investors, it would require a large-scale investment or acquisition for a retailer to enter the market.
