The literature in the field of internationalization has managed to link other areas of knowledge such as marketing to give an explanation to the establishment of strategies to survive in international markets. In this sense, the concept of international market orientation emerges that manages to explain how businesses design a strategy to improve the satisfaction of customer needs in international contexts. The purpose of this article is finding the factors that influence the relationship between the international market orientation and international results. In turn, the directors of export SME´s should be aware that entering international markets prematurely and achieving a significant percentage by volume of international sales does not necessarily guarantee better international performance. They should search for other types of resources or capabilities that permit better possibilities of obtaining competitive advantage in the long-term, such as the adoption of an international market orientation, which makes it possible to evaluate and analyze the internal and external factors present in a company’s internal dynamics. To achieve this objective is taken as the unit of analysis Colombian exporters companies through a sample of 319 surveys and that are processed in a hierarchical regression analysis. The main findings confirm that adopt a strategy of international orientation relative to other strategies such as innovative and entrepreneurial orientation does have positive effects on the internationalization of companies. However, this strategy has a tendency to saturation and therefore can generate negative effects on the international results.

The presentation describes challenges and possible solutions for achieving truly accessible high-class urban public transportation based on a case from Trondheim, where a new high-class bus system was implemented. The implemented solution did not reflect the wheelchair user’s needs – despite clearly stated ambitions for accessibility. Ramboll conducted a study comprising a screening of the international market for relevant solutions, combined with interviews with representatives of Public transport authorities. The results were presented to the local user’s representatives, and some solutions tested on location. Based on this process, recommendations for short-, medium- and long-term solutions were made. The project highlights the need for involvement of sufficient professional knowledge of universal design in the planning phase as well as in the implementation phase.

The article explores a way to reduce the dependence of the national currency on oil prices. A retrospective analysis of the data showed a close correlation between the ruble, the US dollar and the price of oil in the international market. Since 2004, a budget rule has been in effect in Russia, imposing a long-term restriction on budget policy through quantitative restrictions on budget indicators. The study analyzes the limitations of the budget rule in the Russian Federation in various periods and its results. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of foreign experience in reducing dependence on petrodollars on the basis of five reserve funds. The study demonstrates that the budget rule could be one of the possible measures to reduce the dependence of the national currency on oil prices.

Agricultural Enterprises

A necessary condition for a market economy is the existence of a competitive environment between economic entities, especially when agricultural enterprises enter foreign market. This problem is clear because the foreign economic activity of enterprises provides them with a competitive advantage allowing enterprises to enter a competitive market and occupy their positions in the world market of goods and services. The choice of strategies for a particular enterprise in the field of foreign economic activity is a long-term process that involves the choice of strategies from possible behaviors and coordination of actions of all structural units. Unfortunately, the loss of agricultural enterprises is one of the negative factors preventing them from performing management tasks related to the implementation of the chosen competitive strategy. In this case, the company may not focus on any strategy at all, and will not solve operational problems related to the economic efficiency of economic activity. In general, the essence of strategic management of enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity is to form a concept of benefits and prospects that can bring the international market and its actions. When implementing the company's strategic management in the international market, it is inevitable to avoid assessing short-term, medium-term and long-term risks and prospects. The competitiveness of agricultural enterprises should be based on the following aspects: improving the quality of enterprise management, development and compliance with standards of strategic competitiveness of agriculture and food; formulation of proposals for the formation of various strategies for enterprises; improvement of innovative organizations, introduction of information technology, and the presence of merchants in the commodity market provides information support; improves the organizational and technical level of support for agriculture; develops logistics and marketing systems.

Relevant Cost

Purpose: This paper examines the concept of relevant cost, its relevance in decision making analysis, its decision advantage in both short and long-term planning decisions and how it influences the decision maker’s choice of preference/priorities. The study is based on primary information (data) tailored to allow individual respondents comprehend the concept of “relevant cost”. Forty (40) closely related questionnaires were prepared and administered in some business retail traders in “ALABA INTERNATIONAL MARKET”. A review of related literature was also applied to have a general over-view of the concept of relevant cost ideology. It was revealed that relevant cost or costs are costs appropriate to a specific management decision. They are estimated future costs, that are different under alternative courses of action for a specific problem. It consist of both fixed and variable costs. Relevance in decision making is independent of cost behavior pattern. It influences the decision maker’s choice of preference and priority. If a decision is to be taken to either add a product or drop a product, salary of a supervisor or managing director is irrelevant. It is a differential (or incremental) cash flow that forms a component of relevant cost.

Many Middle Eastern countries, especially the ones in Arabian Peninsula, are well-known for being rich with oil and gas. While it could be considered a blessing by many, it is becoming more and more apparent that the abundance of natural resources in the region is a double-edged sword and a form of a natural resource trap. Many countries have become so-called “rentier states”, funding their operations and their very structures by renting their resources to external actors. While it may seem like a profitable political move at first, said overreliance conserved the structure of economies in the Middle Eastern, never forcing the countries to develop effectively, thus making most of the produced goods, other than oil and gas, uncompetitive on the international market. Long term, it may prove disastrous for the Middle East as eventually the resources are going to get exhausted and said countries will be left with nothing but an economic structure unadjusted to the 21stcentury.
