all of a manager’s activities. Managers must reach decisions about objectives and plans for their organizational units. They must decide how to direct, how to organize, how to control.

Businesses and other organizations survive by making and implementing enough of the right decisions. They fail either because they make the right decisions but are unsuccessful in implementing them or because they make wrong decisions and succeed in implementing them. The success of business and nonprofit organizations depends on their ability to make good decisions and to implement their decisions well.

Implementation may involve the manager’s competence in working with others. Depending on the particular decision, implementation may range from very simple to impossible. New people, equipment,  responsibilities, organization components and communication patterns may be necessary.

Making and implementing decisions are crucial parts of management. Management sciences attempt to improve the decision making process.

International Business Operations

International business operations, by their very nature, are complex, risky and require special nderstanding. Foreign business operations are more complex because the host country's economy may be different from the domestic economy. One of the most common forms of international business is to import and export merchandise. Importing is particularly prevalent in the retailing industry. Big companies have legions of buyers who scour the world, looking for merchandise to import. Smaller companies also handle imported goods, although they may purchase them through wholesalers in their country rather than directly abroad.

The low-risk approach to international marketing is exporting.

Manufacturers often enter foreign markets by exporting. This enables them to test a market with small shipments before investing in extended production capabilities or foreign manufacturing facilities.

Two basic approaches can be taken to exporting. Indirect exporting is handled by intermediaries such as buying and exporting agents who buy the products directly from their own name. Indirect exporters

typically have no contact with customers in their foreign markets. Direct exporting is handled directly by manufacturers and requires a great commitment of both managerial and financial resources. One of

the least risky ways to export indirectly is through an export trading company, which buys everything from manufactured goods to raw materials and then resells these products in foreign markets.

Recent Developments in Banking

Technological innovations and increased competition in the face of deregulation are changing the face of banking. Banks and other financial institutions are using computer technology now. One of the

innovations is the electronic funds transfer which transfers money from individual to the bank, from bank to bank, and city to city through an electronic system. Large banks are installing automatic teller machines outside their buildings. A customer can get cash, make loan payments, or transfer money from one account to another at any time of the day or night. The key to the automatic teller machine is a debit card which helps to make transfers directly to and from a customer's checking account. Some large retailers are installing point-of-sale terminals which allow a retail customer to transfer funds from his bank account to the merchant’s account. Electronic funds transfer is making it easy for commercial banks to accept deposits outside their home states. Groups of banks are set-ting up automatic teller machine networks for the customers to use their debit cards to withdraw cash, transfer funds and check balances in other states. Nowadays the banking industry is becoming less regulated. This process is stimulating the diversification of banks, and service and price competition. Financial supermarkets are appearing all over the world. These new financial institutions are handling all types of financial transactions.
