About SELLING TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS:
No matter whether you are a manufacturer/ wholesaler/ retailer/ service provider or government entity, you either are or soon will be affected by global competition. Europeans know this and have responded by banding together to create the Eurodollar as one means of making Europe more competitive in the global economy. We live in an age of rapid change, and require the more efficient communications and exchanges that a common currency can bring. Every company, organization and corporation on the planet must gear up in some way to deal with the challenges of the breathless growth and change we are all undergoing today.
Every company, organization and corporation on the planet must gear up in some way to deal with the breathless growth and change we are all undergoing today. Now there is a book that shows how to gain the competitive edge in todays global economy.
The size of your organization doesnt matter. Small retail and service shops are as vulnerable as the largest corporate giants - though findings indicate that Europes fastest-growing firms in the global economy are the smaller ones.
In the past five years Europes 500 fastest-growing companies created more than 180,000 jobs - just as Europes 500 largest companies slashed their payrolls by 600,000. These numbers parallel those in North America, and seem to indicate that the future of business (and particularly online business) is in smaller companies.
Though smaller companies have significantly smaller promotion and advertising budgets, such online innovations as e-zines tend to equalize. While larger companies have more resources, smaller companies have the advantage of flexibility - of being able to adapt to change as it occurs in the ways we communicate and do business. Well be looking at these specifics extensively - but first lets look at the big picture:
Its important to look at the 21st Century as one full of opportunities, not problems. Were living in a time of rapid growth and change. As existing systems/products/services are rapidly becoming obsolete, there is a need for constant learning and innovation.
Someone is out there inventing a process, product or service that could make you obsolete overnight, and you know it. You may even know what that process/product /service will focus on, yet not have the slightest idea what you should be doing about it. Its a problem waiting to happen in the 21st Century.
