Smart Strategies for Going Global

Learning Path: Small Business Builder

Duration: 3 Day(s).

Course Overview

With today’s global economy and the opening of a global marketplace through the Internet, moving beyond your local market is possible. Not all businesses lend themselves to global expansion. But, if your business is well-suited and ready for expansion, you can grow your revenue and improve profitability by going global. If you have an idea for a new business that will thrive on the Internet, you can achieve success. Finally, if you are welcoming an international business into your market through partnership or acquisition, you have a foundation to grow from day one.
This workshop is for small- to medium-sized businesses and leaders in all of these scenarios. You need to be open to learning and applying new ideas and continue to review opportunities as they arise. Topics such as trade financing, regulatory concerns, global business planning, sustainability, and other topics are included in this three-day course.
