INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESS – 44K02.1 I/ POLITICAL SYSTEMS I/ POLITICAL SYSTEMS The political system is the system of government of a country and it is assessed on two criteria: the degree which the government attaches importance to individuals or collectives and the degree of democracy and totalitarianism ( From International Business- Competing in the Global Marketplace, Charles W.L.Hill ) Individualism emphasizes personal goals and individual rights An individualist is motivated by personal rewards and interests Individualists set personal goals and goals based on themselves Collectiveism focuses on group goals, what is the best for collectives and personal relationships The collective is motivated by team goals A long- term relationship is very important Team members easily sacrifice their personal interests or praise to recognize and celebrate the success of the group Democracy is a form of government where the citizens of the nation have the power to vote in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect representatives from among themselfs to form a governing body such as a parliament download by : skknchat@gmail.com

INTERNATIONAL BUSSINESS – 44K02.1 I/ POLITICAL SYSTEMS Totalitarian countries are nations in which the government does not permit its people to partake in political decision making Instead of giving

the Australian market LEVEL OF PROPERTY PROTECTION Property protection refers to the legal right to use under which an asset is exchanged in exchange for any collection related to that property.Assets include: land, housing, equipment, capital, mineral ownership, business and intellectual property (ideas protected through patents, copyright tables, and trademarks )Accordingly, Australia's property laws are a system of laws governing and prioritizing the rights, benefits and responsibilities of the property laws of individuals relating to property, title, or ownership wisdom.Australian law orders or prioritizes properties that are real and tangible (land) or intangible (copyrights to literary works)  Land law: Australia's property laws are allowing the creation of a system to prove, recognize and transfer land ownership, and facilitate the use of land law All Australian states and territories adopt the "Torrens Land Registration System" when granting new land and land has been studied in accordance with the relevant law This system aims to reduce the number of land-related frauds resulting from falsifying property rights Therefore, when you want to invest land in Australia, you must pay attention to the "land law": Land ownership is only confirmed when registering the property This gives investors "greater assurance, real certainty about ownership." THE PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Intellectual property: is the product of intellectual activity Such as computer software, a screenplay, a music score, or the chemical formula for a new drug Patens, copyrights, and trademarks establish ownership rights over intellectual property 14 download by : skknchat@gmail.com

are unequal in physicl and intellectual capabilities Australia scores low on power distance is 38 It shows that the gap between the power people and less powerful is small So the Austrailian government had to bulid a tax and social welfare system to ensure that country retains relative equality in income and power Within Australian organization, hierarchy is established for convinience, superiors, less decentralization in the business, managers and their employees are more equal, working together to achive the overall goals of the organization INDIVIDUALISM VERSUS COLLECTIVISM:

the size of the market, the present wealth (purchasing power) of consumers in that market, and the likely future wealth of consumers The size of Australian market is large and the consumption of citizenship is high In addition, the level of property protection, intellectual property protection is also high The economic systems in Australia is evaluated to be free and has high stable growth This makes the long- term investment in this country much more advantageous and developed COSTS POLITICAL FACTORS A company may have to pay off politically powerful entities in a country before the government allows it to business there The need to pay what are essentially bribes is greater in closed totalitarian states than in open democratic societies where politicians are held accountable by the electorate Australia has open democratic societies so paying bribes to the government will be limited in this country ECONOMIC FACTORS Economic factors, one of the most important variables is the
