DEFINITION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCE
3
International finance is the branch of economics that studies the dynamics of foreign exchange (where money in one currency is exchanged for another), foreign direct investment (Foreign direct investment (FDI) is investment directly into production in a country by a company located in another country,) and how these affect international trade.
It also includes the study of international projects, international investments and the international capital flows.
International Finance can be broadly defined, as the study of the financial decisions taken by a multinational corporation in the area of international business i.e. global corporate finance.

To make intelligent decisions

CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS
6
The international business firms are broadly divided into three categories:
(a)International Firm(b)Multinational firm(c)Transnational Firm(a) International Firm The traditional activity of an international firm involves
importing and exporting. Goods are produced in the domestic market and then exported to foreign buyers.
Financial management problems of this basic international trade activity focus on the payment process between the foreign buyer (seller) and domestic seller (buyer).
![Page 7: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS
7
(b) Multinational firm As international business expands, the firm needs to be closer to
the consumer, closer to cheaper sources of inputs, or closer to other producers of the same product gain from their activities. It needs to produce abroad as well as sell abroad.
As the domestic firm expands its operations across borders, incorporating activities in other countries, it is classified as a multinational firm.
(c)Transnational Firm As the multinational firm expands its branches, affiliates,
subsidiaries, and network of suppliers, consumers, distributors and all others, which fall under the firm umbrella of activities, the once traditional home country becomes less and less well defined.
Firms like Unilever, Phillips, Ford, and Sony have become intricate network with home offices defined differently for products, processes, capitalization and even taxation.

Multinational Corporations
8
Multinational corporations (MNCs) are defined as
firms that engage in some form of international business.
Their managers conduct international financial management, which involves international investing and financing decisions those are intended to maximize the value of the MNC.
The goal of their managers is to maximize the value of the firm, which is similar to the goal of managers employed by domestic companies.
![Page 9: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Goal of the MNC
9
The commonly accepted goal of an MNC is to maximize shareholders wealth.
This book is focused on MNCs those are based in the United States and wholly own their foreign subsidiaries.
![Page 10: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conflicts Against the MNC Goal
10
For corporations with shareholders who differ from their managers, a conflict of goals can exist - the agency problem.
Agency costs are normally larger for MNCs than for purely domestic firms.The scattering of distant subsidiaries.The sheer size of the MNC.The culture of foreign managers.Subsidiary value versus overall MNC value.
![Page 11: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Impact of Management Control
11
The magnitude of agency costs can vary with the management style of the MNC.
A centralized management style reduces agency costs. However, a decentralized style gives more control to those managers who are closer to the subsidiary’s operations and environment.

Corporate Control of Agency Problem
14
Various forms of corporate control can reduce agency costs & therefore ensure that managers make decisions to satisfy the MNC’s shareholders.
Some MNCs attempt to strike a balance - they allow subsidiary managers to make the key decisions for their respective operations, but the decisions are monitored by the parent’s management.
Electronic networks make it easier for the parent to monitor the actions and performance of foreign subsidiaries.
For example, corporate intranet or internet email facilitates communication. Financial reports and other documents can be sent electronically too.

Constraints Interfering with the MNC’s Goal
15
As MNC managers attempt to maximize their firm’s value, they may be confronted with various constraints.Environmental constraints.Regulatory constraints.Ethical constraints.
![Page 16: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Theories of International Business
16
Why are firms motivated to expand their business internationally?Theory of Comparative Advantage:
Specialization by countries can increase production efficiency.
Imperfect Markets Theory:The markets for the various resources used in
production are “imperfect.”Product Cycle Theory:
As a firm matures, it may recognize additional opportunities outside its home country.
![Page 17: 1. Mulitinational Financial Management by Jeff Mudra an Overview](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/55cf9ba5550346d033a6da2e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Firm exports product to accommodate foreign demand.
Firm creates product to accommodate local demand.
The International Product Life Cycle
Firm establishes foreign subsidiary to establish presence in foreign country and possibly to reduce costs.
a. Firm differentiates product from competitors and/or expands product line in foreign country.
b. Firm’s foreign business declines as its competitive advantages are eliminated.

InternationalBusiness Methods
International trade is a relatively conservative approach involving exporting and/or importing.The internet facilitates international trade by
enabling firms to advertise and manage orders through their websites.
There are several methods by which firms can conduct international business.

InternationalBusiness MethodsLicensing allows a firm to provide its
technology in exchange for fees or some other benefits.
Franchising obligates a firm to provide a specialized sales or service strategy, support assistance, and possibly an initial investment in the franchise in exchange for periodic fees.

InternationalBusiness Methods
Firms may also penetrate foreign markets by engaging in a joint venture (joint ownership and operation) with firms that reside in those markets.
Acquisitions of existing operations in foreign countries allow firms to quickly gain control over foreign operations as well as a share of the foreign market.

InternationalBusiness Methods
Firms can also penetrate foreign markets by establishing new foreign subsidiaries.
In general, any method of conducting business that requires a direct investment in foreign operations is referred to as a direct foreign investment (DFI).
The optimal international business method may depend on the characteristics of the MNC.

International OpportunitiesInvestment opportunities - The marginal
return on projects for an MNC is above that of a purely domestic firm because of the expanded opportunity set of possible projects from which to select.
Financing opportunities - An MNC is also able to obtain capital funding at a lower cost due to its larger opportunity set of funding sources around the world.

Managing for ValueLike domestic projects, foreign projects
involve an investment decision and a financing decision.
When managers make multinational finance decisions that maximize the overall present value of future cash flows, they maximize the firm’s value, and hence shareholder wealth.
