Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses major historical and current economic, political and cultural factors that could lead to the competitive advantage of some nations over others in the international market. The chapter includes examples of both successful and unsuccessful nations to illustrate the relationship between these factors and their current standing in the business world. The success of these nations will be judged according to both economic and non-economic indicators, such as the state of health, literacy rate, per capita income and energy, pattern of income distribution, presence of their companies and products in the international market, and the like.
