An international business is abusiness that operates and sells products/services around the world, M&S trades in Europe, theMiddle East and Asia 1 . M&S is a public limited company, the public part of it means thatshares can be brought by the public and the limited company part means that it has limitedliability. Having limited liability has many advantages as it protects a shareholder from beingresponsible for more than their share of the company so they wouldn’t be accountable for theliabilities resulting from the bankruptcy. Being part of the tertiary sector means that M&Sprovides services in the form of selling groceries, clothing and home products. The purpose ofM&S is to supply products; M&S also offers services but that isn’t their primary way of doingbusiness. M&S is driven by profit meaning that they make sure that their sales cover all of theirrunning costs and more (in order for them to make a profit). Running costs include anything thatthe organization needs to spend money on in order for the company to operate (salaries, utilitiesand rent2 ). When M&S was founded the main goal was to only sell British made goods thatwere of a high quality, this started to change in the 1990s but they continue to aim to offer highquality food at a fair price.1
