# DOMAIN 1: FOUNDATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (Questions 1–
20)
**1. What is the primary reason countries engage in international business?**
A) National self-sufficiency
B) Unequal distribution of resources across nations
C) Simplified trade regulations
D) Decreased competition
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* International business exists primarily because resources such as
land, labor, capital, and raw materials are not evenly distributed across countries.
Some nations have abundant natural resources, while others specialize in
technology, skilled labor, or manufacturing. To meet their needs and maximize
economic benefits, countries engage in trade and international business.
**2. International business differs from domestic business primarily because:**
A) Regulations are simpler in international business
B) The same currency is used across countries
C) International business involves diverse stakeholders across different legal and
cultural systems
D) Customer preferences are uniform across markets
**Correct Answer: C**
*Rationale:* International business operates across multiple countries, involving
different governments, legal systems, cultures, currencies, and economic
conditions. This leads to a wide variety of stakeholders, including international
,3|Page
customers, suppliers, governments, and regulatory bodies. Domestic business
operates within a single country's legal and cultural framework.
**3. Which organization is primarily involved in easing global trade?**
A) World Health Organization (WHO)
B) World Trade Organization (WTO)
C) International Monetary Fund (IMF)
D) World Bank
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the primary global body that
regulates and facilitates international trade. It establishes rules for trade between
nations, helps resolve trade disputes, and ensures smooth, predictable, and free
trade across borders. The WHO deals with global health issues, the IMF focuses on
financial stability, and the World Bank provides financial assistance for economic
development.
**4. Which term refers to the exchange of goods, services, technology, knowledge,
and capital across international borders?**
A) International trade

C) International business
D) Global logistics
**Correct Answer: C**

between two or more nations in products, technology, services, knowledge, and
, 4|Page
capital. International trade is a narrower subset that traditionally refers only to the
movement of goods.
**5. Which of the following best describes the difference between international
trade and international business?**
A) International business is a narrower concept than international trade
B) International trade only involves goods, while international business includes
services, technology, and capital
C) International trade requires physical movement of products; international
business does not
D) There is no significant difference between the two terms
**Correct Answer: B**

(tangible products). International business is broader, encompassing trade in goods,
services, technology, knowledge, and capital across international borders.
International business includes foreign direct investment, licensing, franchising,
and other commercial activities beyond just merchandise trade.
**6. The internal forces over which management does have some control, such as
the factors of production and the activities of the organization, are called the:**
