Has looking beyond U.S. borders been a profitable experience for U.S.

Has looking beyond U.S. borders been a profitable experience for U.S. corporations?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER

Many U.S. companies, including General Electric, IBM, Walt Disney, and American Express, have restructured their
operations to expand internationally. The bottom line is that what you think of as a U.S. firm may be much more of a
multinational firm than you would expect. For example, Coca-Cola earns around 60 percent of its profits from
overseas sales, and this is not uncommon for numerous U.S. firms.
