In allowing classical based theories, a sense of product protection is taken into consideration. Firm based theories include other products or service of other countries. Brand names are considered, including customer loyalty of those particular brands. There are many brands sold within the U.S. that are not produced within the U.S. The brand name encourages continual customer purchases because the customer trusts the product and the quality of which the product is manufactured. Both concepts encourage trade that results in having the upper hand in certain situations. However, the classical country theory impacts the home country and while that theory may have more control over what happen to those products it also limits the ability to grow internationally. The firm based theory has less control over what happens and has more to gain or lose by trading with an outside
