    Globalization has gained the United States quite the popularity. First and foremost, globalization has spread American influence throughout the world with the outsourcing of products and American made labels. Globalization has opened up more markets for the United States, which, due to this, has helped many American companies sell their products worldwide. There has been a rise of international business and their influence has greatly increased. Globalization also supports the ability for American corporations to sell their products outside of the country and helps in keeping the country “on top” or “near the top” economically.…

    The explanation of the existing condition of motivation of Tesco for international business strategy can be explained thoroughly by primary findings. So, I think it is important for me to gather primary data from the target population to understand how push and pull factors combined to motivate Tesco to adapt international business strategy.

Secondary literatures can be useful to define the concept of international business strategy and explain how it can be adapted by the retailing companies.…
