Week two assignment

In this paper I have chosen CACI international for the discussion. The essay concerns a set of questions regarding the company, its operations, as well as how its locations trading theories internationally and environment influence the overall business of the firm. Additionally, the paper looks at the cultural issues determines the operations of the company in any specific country in the world in order to make sure that the company grows and receives more income.

Question 1

CACI international functions all through the world taking numerous roles but mostly specializes in the united states government contracts which vary in size as per what the employer wants to achieve. The main locations of the firm where it operates include Afghanistan, UK and USA (Pollak.et.al, 2019)

Question 2

The US and the UK have joined the three corporations. However, Afghanistan has joined the IMF and the World Bank but has not joined WTO. Afghanistan’s turbulent security situation has made its membership to the World Bank and IMF to fall in and out of action over the past 50 years.

Question 3

I suppose that the UK as well as the US has been following the guidelines of these organizations. However, I believe that the Afghanistan government find it difficult to fulfil the requirements of the organizations since the government lacks control over the rural areas of the nation and the existence of insecurity in the country shows proof that the government is unable to control its people. This makes it difficult for the country to strictly follow the set guidelines to the letter as required by the three organizations. Consequently, the efforts of making the country stable and the continued government power over the nation shows that in the next few years the country’s international trade presence will change all over the world (Osmani, 2016).

Question 4

The US and the UK have judiciary and political networks which fail to constantly be clear. Nevertheless, when we compare these two countries with other nations such as Afghanistan, the transparency of the two nations is remarkable and their policies and strong economies seem to support globalizations. The two nations also provide free trading zones which spur imports and exports.

Nonetheless, Afghanistan does not promote globalization as its economy is quite weak and the government does not have judiciary system which functions very well. The country has had some distortion of its political system and judiciary system due to the insecurity in the country. The government does not have full power over all regions of the country making it hard for the systems to be established or to function as required.

Question 5

I suppose that the US and UK exercise strategies which encourage globalization. The citizens of the two nations remain contented with globalization mostly since the policies which the government applies increase competitiveness devoid of minimizing the minimum wages or combating labour unions. The countries have created a thriving investment climate which encourages banking to foreign partners and removing trading tariffs. The nations have established policies in regard to competitive markets and governance but these strategies are at times broken.

I think that Afghanistan is yet to establish strong policies in regard to its governance, property rights, corruption and competitive markets. The insecurity in the country makes it hard for the set policies to be followed and discourages free trading. Therefore this implies that Afghanistan does not promote globalization and there is need to establish strategies to fasten the security of the country so as to ensure that all the set policies are followed (Deif, 2016).

Question 6

The firm offers information technology services to defense and intelligence community all over the world. The firm began providing these services in California and has over the years developed and grown to many other countries in the world where it has extended its services to consumers in these regions. The firm mostly offers services to government organization both domestically and in other nations.

Question 7

The services of CACI international which are exported face tariff barriers. The rate of the tariffs is dependent on the country which the products are being exported to. The services also face non-tariff barriers where the firm is expected to pay licences to be allowed to offer its services as per the requirements of the different nations. This helps in ensuring that the firm follows the requirements of the country where they are delivered.

Question 8.

Regional trading blocs such as US and UK where the company operates benefits CACI international since it is well established in these countries. Moreover, the countries have well developed policies for competitive markets and trading which allows the company to thrive (Ajeganov, 2017).

Question 9

CACI international would be improved if the firm would adopt a network of multi-lateral trade liberalization such as WTO. It would be well established in the member countries of the organization thus ensuring that its services are well utilized in these nations.

Question 10

You ought to determine how services of the firm are exclusive form other companies that offer similar services before visiting another country on behalf of the firm to negotiate a transaction. You would get all the necessary information regarding the firm from its own website.
