12.21 Integrative summary: Parts A and B
Part A of this topic was about accounting and Part B was about finance in international business. It would be appropriate to leave Chapter 12 by saying that the two parts are integrated: neither is hermetically sealed off from the other in reality. We can also recognise that none of the subjects addressed in these thirteen topics exists in isolation from the others. We have been discussing the role of the general manager whose task it is to integrate and coordinate the activities of all the functional areas of an international business, as the subtitle of your textbook suggests, to compete successfully in the global marketplace.
To assist your preparation for the end of semester examination, the following review section directs your attention to the main points in each of the thirteen chapters and provides emphasis where this is appropriate.
So now is the time to test your understanding of international business. Using the material in the review section as a guide if you need it, open your textbook at the end of any chapter and see if you can answer the review questions. Repeat your exploration of the Study Guide as required. If you can answer them readily you are in good shape for the end of semester examination. If you can't answer them immediately, some exploration of your Study Guide should enable you to fill in the gaps in your knowledge.
Now, don't stop there, now that you're in the right frame of mind for answering questions! Repeat the above sequence by opening your textbook at another chapter - and then another - and so on until you feel you can cope with anything thrown at you in the end of semester examination.
