The reason behind this is that the organization will be required to engage either in the importation or exportation of goods or services. The Emirates Motor Company has for many years engaged in the importation of Mercedes Benz from Germany into the UAE. One of the major challenges that the organization has suffered is lack of sufficient funding. As such, the organization has not been in a position to fully exploit the UAE market. The company also has to deal with high cost of operations. Importation activities require firms to pay for shipping and loading charges for the goods. The importer also has to incur insurance charges. The costs result in an increase in the cost of commodities making them undesirable to customers. Delays in payment also make it difficult for the company to replenish its stock. Outline 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Literature Review a) An Overview of the Emirates Motor Company’s Import Business b) History of Importation of Mercedes Benz Automobiles from Germany to the UAE c) External Analysis of the World Automobile Industry d) External Analysis of the Trade between the UAE and Germany in Automobiles ...

Exchange rates is one of the most important factors in maintaining competition potentials of a country in international markets and as a result, non-oil exportation of the country, and an important factor for being independent from oil export. More even that these, exchange rates is an effective factor in maintaining competitive domestic producers against importing foreign goods flood, goods that mostly resourcing from oil export price. Every economist well knows that specifying currency rates has a determinant role in maintaining the stability, mobility, economic growth and development of the country. So, even a small mistake in determining currency exchange rate leads to great costs and losses for the country. Unfortunately, Iranian politicians and their economic advisors have made great mistakes in the guidance and regulation of foreign exchange rate as they made mistake in many other economy key variables. This is either due to lack of right intelligence regarding currency exchange and its impressions on economy, which comes from great theoretical mistakes, or due to political preference rationality against economics rationality which is the result of different political pressures.

Secondly, the revaluation of the US dollar in the late 1990s and consequential effective revaluation of the peso required a significant devaluation of the peso and/or reduction in domestic prices and wages in order to...
