Text 1 International Monetary Fund
International Monetary Fund or IMF is a specialized agency of the United Nations, having been established along with International Bank for Reconstruc¬tion and Development — the World Bank — at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference held in 1944 at Bretton Woods. The IMF is recorded to have begun operations in 1947. Its purpose is to promote international mon¬etary co-operation and to facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of inter¬national trade. It may be achieved through the establishment of a multilateral system of payments for current transactions and the elimination of foreign trade restrictions. It now has an important role in development economics as a facili¬tator of the transition to full participation in the world economy.
The IMF is a permanent forum for consideration of issues of international payments in which member nations are encouraged to maintain an orderly pattern of exchange rates and to avoid restrictive exchange practices. It also provides advice on economic policy and fiscal policy, promotes world policy co-ordina¬tion, and gives technical assistance for central banks, accounting, taxation and other financial matters. Membership, currently comprising 179 countries, is open to all sovereign nations. Members undertake to keep the IMF informed about economic and financial policies that impinge on the exchange value of their na¬tional currencies. As a result, other members can make appropriate policy deci¬sions.
On joining the fund. each member is assigned a quota in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), the funds unit of account since its establishment in 1969. Its value is based on the weighted average value of five major currencies. In March 1994 the SDR was worth US$ 1.41. Having replaced the old system, where sub¬scription of members was to be 75 per cent currency and 25 per cent gold the total quotas at the end of 1994 were SDR 144.8 billion. Each members quota is an amount corresponding to its relative position in the world economy. As the worlds leading economy, the United States has the largest quota, some SDR 19 billion; the smallest quota is about SDR 2 million.
The amount of the quota subscription determines how large a vote a mem¬ber will have in IMF deliberations, how much foreign exchange it may withdraw from the fund, and how many SDRs it will receive in periodic allocations. Thus, the European Union has about 25 per cent of the voting strength, while the United States has about 20 per cent. If members have temporary balance of payments difficulties, they will apply to the fund for needed foreign currency from its pool of resources. The IMF may also borrow from official institutions. General Agreement to Borrow of 1962 gave it the right to borrow from the so-called "Paris Club" of industrialized countries which have undertaken to make up to US$ 6.5 billion available if needed (this sum was raised to US$ 17 billion).
On using this foreign exchange for a certain time, the borrower extricates itself from its balance of payments problem. After having it for the period up to five years, the currency is to be returned to the IMFs pool of resources. If the borrower uses the IMF resources, he will pay a below-market rate of interest. The member whose currency is used receives almost all of these interest payments. The remainder goes to the fund for operating expenses. The IMF is thus not a bank, but sells countries SDRs in exchange for their own currency. The IMF also supports economic develop¬ment, such as the establishment of functioning free market economies in the former Warsaw Pact countries. This includes a special temporary fund, established in 1993, to offset trade and balance of payments difficulties experienced by any member coun¬try abandoning artificial price control policies.
By the end of March 1994 these had provided SDR 4.3 billion to 44 coun¬tries. On receiving loans under IMF terms, the nation frequently has stiff clauses attached regarding domestic economic policy. These have been the cause of some friction between the IMF and its debtors in the past. The board of gover¬nors is the highest authority in the IMF, the member nations being made-up of leading monetary officials. Day-to-day operations will be the responsibility of the 22-member executive board, which represents member nations individually (for larger countries) or if it represents them in groups. The managing director chairs the executive board. Main headquarters is in Washington, D.C.
Text 2. International Marketing
The International Marketing Manager has a three-fold responsibility; interna¬tional marketing — marketing across national boundaries: foreign marketing — marketing within foreign countries; and multinational marketing — coordinating marketing in multiple markets. Marketing being defined in several ways, broadly we may define it as the collection of activities undertaken by the firm to relate profitability to its market. Marketing involves all of these activities: market intel¬ligence, product planning and development, buying, storage, selling, crediting, pricing, traffic, distribution, advertising, promotion and marketing research.
Marketing management is the planning and co-ordination of these activities in order to achieve a successful, integrated marketing program, international marketing to be defined as the performance of one or more of these activities across national boundaries. The activities and goals of international marketing are the same as those of domestic marketing, implementation of the firms mar¬keting programs having been considered very different. That is, managing inter¬national marketing can be significantly different from managing domestic market¬ing. If one tries to define personal selling as the major promotional tool, it will appear to be even more important in international marketing than domestically.
Personal Selling is commonly known to take a greater percentage of the promo¬tional bud-get abroad than at home. There may be two reasons for this: restrictions on advertising and media availability will limit the amount of advertising the firm can do, and low wages in many countries allow the company to hire a larger sales force. This second reason will be especially applicable when personal selling takes place in less developed nations. Personal selling involves personal contact and is more cul¬ture-bound than impersonal advertising. That is why personal selling in the firms foreign markets cannot really be considered international personal selling, to be com-
pared with international campaigns and international media in discussing advertising. So, personal selling is national, not international.
The role of personal selling having been decided, the actual administration of the sales force in a market will be similar to that in the home market. The same general functions must be per-formed: recruitment, selection, training, mo¬tivation, supervision, and compensation. Training of salespeople is done prima¬rily in the national market. The demands of the job and the previous preparation of the sales force will determine the nature of the training program. Indeed, if motivation and compensation of the sales force are closely related, attractive compensation will be often the chief motivator.
Motivation can be more of a challenge abroad than at home for two reasons: the low esteem in which selling is held, and the cultural reluctance of prospec¬tive sales representatives to talk to strangers. On defining these two essential elements of selling, the firm must try to overcome this handicap, especially in countries where selling has low status. Training, titles, perquisites, and special recognition of salespersons self-image are all helpful. The licensees or distribu¬tors sales force is important in making the quality of sales force a major criterion in choosing the distributor.
In joint ventures the international marketer may have a small or a big voice in selling, de-pending on the capabilities of both partner. The greater the control given to the international firm in the marketing of the joint venture, the more the situation resembles that of a wholly owned subsidiary. The less the control, the more the situation resembles that in a licensing or distributor agreement. With sales force management being largely decentralized, personal selling is related to the peculiarities of the local market. Nevertheless, international marketers should play same role. On contributing expertise in every aspect of sales force man¬agement recruitment, selection, training, motivation, compensation and eval¬uation they serve as the clearinghouse between domestic and foreign oper¬ations, and among the foreign markets themselves.
