In order to stay competitive domestically, U.S. firms of all sizes will need to become competitive internationally. While the U.S. market is enormous, it represents only one-third of world purchasing power. This percentage is likely to diminish in the future since 95 percent of the worlds population resides outside of the United States. To increase profits and remain competitive, firms will need to expand their market base, increase their production, reduce per-unit production costs, and extend product life. Competing in the global marketplace will help them accomplish this. |
