Which of the following is NOT a type of international business structure?

The correct choice highlights a type of business structure that is not inherently international in nature. A domestic partnership refers to a business arrangement formed between individuals or entities within the same country, focused on collaboration within that domestic market. Unlike exporting, licensing, and foreign direct investment, which all involve activities across international borders and are designed to engage in or facilitate international trade and commerce, a domestic partnership is limited to local operations.

Exporting involves selling domestically produced products to foreign markets, licensing allows a company to permit another business to produce and sell its products in exchange for fees, and foreign direct investment involves investing in or establishing business operations in another country. Each of these options represents a strategic approach to expanding business operations internationally, which contrasts with the purely domestic nature of a partnership formed within a single country.
