[W486]What Is Global Business

by Alvis Brazma, Alv

Suppose you have a small business that has just taken off sometime back. It is also doing quite well and you have brilliant plans for expansions that you are confident will work. However you have human and financial resources that are tied down due to the daily operations of the business and that makes it impossible to concentrate on the core business and plan future strategies for growth and expansions. Accounting can be one such division which although very crucial in nature can end up blocking a major chunk or resources. This is the reason why more and more companies are going in for accounting outsourcing that helps to save both time and money for the company.

Accounting outsourcing forms a part of corporate dismantling and reorganizing the finance structure for more enhanced efficiency which in turn increases the profitability of the organization. It involves the reorganization of the labor force within and outside the company. Accounting outsourcing involves a two-way information interchange, trust and co-ordination between the client and the vendor. The organizational function of accounting is outsourced to a third party who in turn prepares the accounts records and offers financial consultancy and accurate, up-to-date records on a daily basis to the client. In the global marketplace accounting outsourcing is easily accessible to companies both national and international.

Accounting outsourcing also fares well for the economy of the country where it is being outsourced as it provides employment to many qualified professionals. Accounting outsourcing also helps an organization to formulate competitive strategies that gives leverage to their financial positions in the world market place. By freeing up essential resources of a company and yet ensuring that it receives accurate financial data for reference and use, an accounting outsourcing firm manages to raise its demand in the competitive business world. The huge benefits offered to the parent company in terms lower labor costs and less stringent worker right laws makes the option of accounting outsourcing very tempting to all global companies. The quality of work handed in by the accounting outsourcing firm is also at par with the standards set by the management and consumers in case a reputable vendor has been hired.

Also when hiring a firm for handling the accounting outsourcing services in a different country a business needs to undergo careful research about the credibility and credentials of the company. Past reference from similar firms in the industry and a proof of previous track record can reassure the client about the vendor. Accounting outsourcing also enables a firm to purchase intellectual capital of the country that is handling the outsourcing work. Most organizations consider outsourcing as a powerful business tactic and economic tool for developing products and services. Rather than making further investments in resources for the accounting division a business can redirect the resources to other essential areas for the business. Most economists across the world do not consider accounting outsourcing as threat to the parent company's nation and economic status; rather it's just a job relocation. When an assured accountability is maintained from the vendor and the client's side, accounting outsourcing can work out to be a winning situation for all parties involved.

Wine making has been practiced in one way or another for many thousands of years now with pottery jars found in Persia (modern day Iran) dating back to 5,500 BC displaying evidence of grapes use in winemaking. Additionally, jars from Jiahu in China dated to somewhere between 6000 and 7000 BC have also been discovered containing wine from wild grapes.

But whether we are talking about ancient or modern wine production, many of the same conditions apply and similar techniques are used as the chemistry of the grape is a timeless quality.

With some exceptions the grapes used in wine production grow only only between latitudes 30-50 degrees North and 30-45 degrees South of the equator. Unlike the majority of other crops, grapes do not require an especially fertile soil and it is interesting to note that a thinner soil frequently produces a small crop but also frequently produces grapes of a higher quality.

Ironically, soils that are rich in nitrogen and other nutrients (conditions that are usually highly beneficial for the majority of plants) can produce grapes that are not suitable for winemaking. Such grapes are however often fine for eating, but lack the desired amounts of minerals, sugars and acids for winemaking.

Without doubt, the finest wines come from soils which would be thought of as poor quality for other agricultural purposes. The stellar wines from Bordeaux, for example, are made from grapes grown in gravelly soil, overlying a base of clay or chalk. The crop here is sparse, but the quality of the grapes produced is high. In this instance the pebbly earth allows for good drainage, which is essential as grapevines need adequate but not too much water, but the conditions force the roots to grow deep into the earth where they absorb a variety of complex minerals.

Vineyards are also most often found along river valleys, with slopes that provide plenty of sunshine. Vines in these circumstances are usually of the European species vitis vinifera, from which a number of well known wines are made, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot.

Viticulture, the name applied to the practice of growing grapes for wine, is one of the most complex agricultural undertakings today. A master vintner (today, sometimes known as an oenologist), must be an expert in a wide range of subjects including soil chemistry, fermentation, climatology and several other ancient arts and modern sciences.

As well as categorization by variety, wines are also classified by vinification methods (still, sparkling, fortified, ros�, blush), by region (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace etc.), by vintage as well as by a dozen other methods.

Once the grower, chemist and manufacturer have completed their work, the businessman then takes the stage and today wine is very big business. Wine sales in the US alone run to something like 600 million gallons, representing in excess of $20 billion in consumer spending. Perhaps not surprisingly France leads the field when it comes to exports with 22% of export volume, with Italy following close behind.

At the end of the day however, no matter how big a business wine making has become, it is still very much a balance of art, science and business and winemaking is most certainly not a venture to be entered into by the faint hearted.
