It has been centauries since the countries of the world
understood the interdependence of each on the other. The
phenomena of globalization are one of the reasons of this
interdependence. The countries are trading among each other
through economic zones. Also the business in the stock market
has gone Trans national. All the stock markets of the world make
an impact on each other's trading patterns. Thus stock exchanges
are strong indicators of the international business. Another
advantage, as it may be called to the business, is the
difference in the labor costs in the different countries. The
booming business of outsourcing is an offshoot of this concept.
The outsourcing business is now moving from the business
processes to the manufacturing too. The practices like
interdependence of the stock exchanges and the phenomena of
outsourcing are causing great concerns to the domestic
companies. The impact of outsourcing on the domestic labor is
drastic.
The stock exchange index is generally confined to one country.
However there are |

some indices, which are found in many other
countries of the world too. America's Dow Jones and S&P 500 are
some of the indices. Industry specific index can also be found.
The Moran Stanley Biotech index is one such. They are referred
to as specialty exchanges.
The NASDAQ in New York is the world's first electronic exchange.
Set up in 1971, it has approximately 3200 companies listed with
it. There are several indexes in the NASDAQ with separate base
numbers and for different companies listed in them. For example
there is a NASDAQ 100 index. It has base number 125 and has been
traded on since 1994. Then there is NASDAQ Composite where most
of the companies do business.
London too is one of the business hubs of the world. The stock
exchange is one of the most influential ones. The kings of
international businesses have their home ground sin London and
they operate their world business from there. Being one of the
biggest human settlements in the United Kingdom, London has a
business of over 117,000 million pounds. The |

London stock
exchange has been in existence since 1698 when commodity trade
was rampant in the country.
Nikkei 225 is the index of the Tokyo's Stock Exchange. The
markets can boast of being the technologically most advanced in
Asia if not the world. Japan after the wrath of the war of 1945
has emerged out to become one of the controllers of world trade.
The work culture in the country is unmatched by any country of
the world. Probably this is the reason why it is has been the
world business leader for a long time. Most blue-chip companies
are listed on this market.
The hazards of speculative businesses are all around. The
companies have created the tricks to trade out the
non-productive scrip. Insider trading, for example, means
floating false information in the market by those who are at the
helm of affairs. The same misguides the traders. This has to be
curbed by adding a deterrent to such practices.
