As business leaders and citizens of the world, you have a direct influence on the global economy. Your actions and those of your peers in the garage or in the boardroom influence the future of economics and businesses worldwide. Global business is a prime example of this dynamic because it encompasses both the opportunities and obligations for businesses which operate across national borders.

A global corporation is present in a number of countries via direct sales, joint ventures or subsidiaries and also exports to markets outside of its home country. It also adjusts its products and services to fit the cultural environment of the market. Additionally, it is aware of laws and policies of different countries that affect its ability to conduct business there.

A company must also be familiar with the economics of each country. This is in addition to the legal and political aspects of business. It is important to learn to utilize data and metrics to assess a country’s economy and its competitiveness as well as potential for growth.

The key to success in expanding into a new market is building trust with local customers. That’s why it’s essential to establish an office or store in the local market, for example, having a store or office hiring local staff and developing relationships with local suppliers and partners. Companies that have local presence in the market also have an understanding of the regional business culture and the local business practices and are able to create strategies to connect with their target market.
