International Business Discussion and Responses

Prompt: International business involves the production and distribution of goods and services. It necessitates an understanding and appreciation of national policies as well as the political, economic, social, and cultural context of trading nations or partners. Explain the opportunities and challenges of conducting business internationally while focusing on the advantages and disadvantages for both host and home countries. Address both viewpoints in the debate about internationalization. Why are some people and countries in favor of internationalization while others are opposed? Give your opinion about the prospects for increasing internationalization, or why you favor a more protectionist approach.

In your response, trace the international expansion of the Christian movement during the first century. What was the importance of the influence of the Jewish law, the Greek language, and the Roman political and physical and infrastructure? Who were the primary actors from your readings in the book of Acts, what roles did they play, and what were some of the key events that marked the progress of the movement as the new “church” made its way to Rome and ultimately to the Western world?
