Answer to Question 1

While the concepts of absolute advantage and comparative advantage provide the rationale for international trade, these early trade theories fail to account for factors that make contemporary trade complex, including the following:
 Traded products are not just commodities anymore; many traded goods are characterized by strong branding and differentiated features.
 International transportation is often costly.
 Government restrictions such as tariffs (taxes on imports), import barriers, and regulations can hamper international trade.
 Large-scale production in certain industries may bring about scale economies, and therefore lower prices.
 Many services, such as banking and retailing, cannot be traded in the usual sense and must be internationalized via foreign direct investment.
 Modern telecommunications and the Internet facilitate global trade in many services at very low cost.
 Many firms are highly entrepreneurial and innovative or have access to exceptional human talent that they employ to develop superior business strategies.

Despite the scarcity of financial, human, and tangible resources that characterize most new businesses, born global firms internationalize early in their evolution.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
