What kinds of problem do companies face when they go international?
One of the biggest challenges of these rapidly changing environments is that none of the business can be an expert in everything. Going global gives you a way to faster growth, diversification, and much wider clients or customer’s base.What are the Problems taking your Business international:-Legal IssuesWhen you want to expand your business globally you'll have to familiar with that country's laws and regulation.Technology and CommunicationAs changes in technologies practically at the speed of light.If the technology you rely on to run your business isn’t compatible with the technology used by your customer then this may impact on global environmental of your business.Market EntryTo enter the international market is not a simple task, expanding presence in a new market involves complex choices, ranging from the mode of entry to appropriate investment levels to local organizational structure design.Political ProblemsMany people in other countries are strongly opposed to outsourcing, economic process, and other international business practices. This is the big political risk comes up while expanding your business.Hope you are getting the clear understanding of opportunities and challenges for global business expansion.To expand your business globally with many challenges, and compete globally, you must have qualified global business expansion consultants.

How is standard meridian of India (or any nation) calculated?
Prakash, Thanks for your A2A. In 1878, Sir Sandford Fleming (1827–1915) developed the system of worldwide time zones that we still use today. He proposed that the world be divided into 24 time zones, each spaced 15º (fifteen degrees) of longitude apart (like 24 sections of an orange). He came to this idea because Earth completes a rotation every 24 hours and there are 360º of longitude, so each hour Earth rotates 1/24th of a circle or 15º.As with many new ideas, his solution was not immediately embraced. Railroad companies in the U.S. finally began using Sir Fleming's standard time zones on November 18, 1883. An International Prime Meridian Conference was held in Washington, DC, in 1884 to standardize time around the world and select the Prime Meridian, or the meridian that is designated 0º from which all other longitudes are measured (often referred to as Greenwich Mean Time or GMT, because the place they chose as the Prime Meridian was Greenwich, England). The International Date Line, the imaginary line where travellers change from one date to another, is located at roughly 180º, exactly halfway around the world from Greenwich (conveniently drawn through the Pacific Ocean so no countries are divided into separate days).According to international convention the longitudinal difference between two time meridians should be a multiple of 7.5 degrees, so that time difference is always in half hours or full hours (7.5 deg * 4 min/deg = 30 minutes). To find the time meridian of a country, take the westernmost longitude and the easternmost longitude of that country, take the mean, and find the nearest multiple of 7.5 degree.As India's longitudinal extent is from 68° 7' 53" E to 97° 24' 47" E.Nearest multiple of 7.5° is 82.5°.So 82"30 minutes east has been selected as the Standard Meridian Time of India.USA has 6 time zones at it has very vast area, it is not feasible with only one time zone.
Explain three reason why the spanish were able to conquer the aztec and incan empire?
All the above are essentially correct but miss that the Inca& Aztec, at least in the early stages of the conflicts, were culturally & mentally unprepared for the European way of war. Their arms were inferior by no small degree but hugely greater numbers of the South/Meso Amercian Empires should have more than compensated. However the primative nature of their warrior cultures ensured their way of war was highly ritualised and tended to revolve around the aquisition of slaves & sacrifices; as such their wars were not about decision & forcing their will on other nations. As such the pragmatic, "play for keeps" game the hard men of the Reconquista brought was a shock, by the time the Inca or Aztec might have been able to respond in kind their Empires were in termoil & quickly fragmented. These dispersed groupings were unable to mount a coordinated response and the Spanish could deal with them in isolation & at a leisurely pace. Which bring up the point that these Empires had inhereant flaws also. While they were the "big fish" in their respective areas they were neither alone nor well liked. Proportions of their populations were less than willing participants in their civilization - peoples who were conquered or had joined to avoid the further depradations of Aztec/Inca campaigning. While the Spanish may have instigated the wars against the American Empires they were aided (and outnumbered many fold) by Indian allies who had previously been divided but found a unity of purpose with the Spanish.

What was the importance of railroads in the 19th century?
Context is always important.In the fifty years between 1790 and 1840, while the population of the United states grew from 3.9m to 17m, that of the staets beyond the Alleghenies burgeoned from 160k to 6.4m, accounting for nearly 40 percent of the country-wide increase. Yet, as late as 1840, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, with a combined population of nearly 3m had only 200 miles of railroad among them, mostly feeder lines to canals, rivers, or in Michigan, a link between lakes Michigan and Erie. No exclusive rail connection existed , moreover, linking east and west. The surging growth of the west created a demographic and developmental imbalance.The railroads did not begin to have significant impact on American business institutions until the nations first railroad boom which began in the late 1840’s and 1850’s. Before that time railroad construction did not fundamentally alter existing routes or modes of transportation, since the first roads were built in the 1830’s and 1840s to connect existing commercial centers and to supplant existing water transportation.During the 1840’s the technology of railroad transportation was rapidly perfected, Uniform methods of construction , grading , tunneling and bridging were developed. The Iron T rail came into common use, By the late 8140’s the locomotive had its cams, sandbox, driver wheels, swivel, equalizing beams. Passenger coaches had become “ Long Cars, “ carrying sixty passengers on reversible seats. Boxcars, cattle cars, lumber cars and other freight cars were smaller but otherwise little different from those used on American railroads a century later.These tech advance made railroads the preferred means of overland transportation for passengers , lightweight and high-value freight traffic from canals and turnpikes but also began to soon compete successfully as carriers of textiles, cotton, grain, coal and other bulky products.The boom in railroad construction in the 19th century barring the civil war era provided the nation with the basic overland transportation network that would serve until the coming of the automobile and airplane in the twenthieth century.
How did railroads change America?
The US transcontinental railroad projects— most specifically the Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific Railroads were structured to provide large land grants along the pathway that the railway was built. It was the biggest real estate subdivision development project the US has ever undertaken, and it was through real estate development that the lines themselves became valuable.Our major cities west of the Rockies became large and prosperous originally because of rail terminals and port developments. Had the US government not created and sponsored projects such as this (and granted, there was a ton of corruption around them, at the highest levels), the western half of the country would have been entirely differently developed.
Please help answer a couple history questions?
1.) None of the above, Prince Henry was trying to find a route to India. He sent out several expeditions which is why it became a government supported endeavor. And Prince Henry did it to increase Portuguese wealth and line his own pockets. His brother was already King. 3.) They used the Caravel because the ship was small and maneuverable and the lateen sails allowed the ship to sail closer to the wind, or against the wind making the return legs to Portugal easier and faster. 4.) The compass obviously helped because they could hold a course out of sight of land. But also the discovery of latitude and it's relationship to the sun and stars also helped dramatically. 5.) I went through this one before. The Spanish had gunpowder and steel versus stone spears and leather armor. Also the Aztecs were scared to death of the Horses, they had never seen them before. 6.) The Pilgrims came to the new world to practice their religion in their own way. To create their perfect world without interference. 7.)Don't know 8.) The Potato. It was discovered in the Andes and taken back to Europe. 9.)Sugar Plantations. Originally the Spanish enslaved the local indians but they died from the diseases and rigors of the plantation so the Spanish brought in Black Slaves from Africa. 10.)Don't know
