As business leaders and citizens of the world, you have a direct impact on the world’s economy. Your actions, and those of your colleagues whether in the garage or the boardroom shape the future of economies and businesses all over the world. There is no field that demonstrates this phenomenon more than global commerce, which encompasses the challenges and opportunities for companies that operate across national boundaries.
A global company is present in many countries via direct sales subsidiary or joint ventures, as well as exports to foreign markets. It also adjusts its products and services to fit the cultural environment of the market. Furthermore, it might be aware of laws or policies, as well as practices of various countries that affect its ability to do business in that.
In addition to understanding the legal and political aspects of doing business, a business must be aware of the economics of a particular country. It’s important to learn how to make use of data and metrics to evaluate a country’s economic situation and its competitiveness as well as potential to grow.
The key to successful expansion into a new market is to build trust with local customers. That’s why it’s essential to establish a local presence in the market, for example, having a store or office hiring local employees and establishing relationships with local suppliers and partners. Businesses with a local presence have a better grasp of the local culture and business practices. This can help them create strategies to communicate with their audience.
