    Global Business Strategies

    Small Business – Entrepreneur

    Opportunities to take a regional business into the global market make it possible to strategically, smartly, and profitably accomplish more than you can by staying local. To prepare, you need to set your business up for success by being open to learning, to applying new ideas, and to continually reviewing how you can create success in the global market.

    Topics such as trade financing, regulatory considerations, international business planning, sustainability, and much more are included in this three-day course. The materials here are well suited for small and medium-sized business leaders as they prepare to take their company into the global marketplace.

    We strongly recommend that participants complete our “Entrepreneurship 101” and “Basic Business Management” programs before taking this course.

    This three-day workshop will help you teach participants how to:

    • Describe the complexities of doing business in a global context
    • Discuss trends in global business
    • Apply strategies and tools needed to help shift a regional business into a global enterprise
    • Closely evaluate their current business operation and determine its readiness for moving into a global marketplace
    • Create an international business plan and prepare it for implementation

    Course Overview

    You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

    Understanding the Global Business Environment

    The global business market is a challenge that any business considering the shift from local to international shouldn’t take lightly. This session provides a definition of globalization, factors in becoming a global business, and top trends.

    The Global Trade Market

    The steady growth of technology has made the world a smaller place and facilitated the expansion of businesses across the globe. In this climate, it is a good idea to explore the feasibility and possible benefits to going global. In this session, your students will get a chance to consider available options, governing associations, and trade agreements.

    Products and Services

    Taking a look at how goods and services are traded across borders is a major factor to consider when considering the jump into the global marketplace, and whether you should trade in products or services. This session allows students to review how goods and services are traded and how intangible products are dealt with.

    E-Commerce on the Global Stage

    E-commerce covers a range of business-related events. This session covers the essential elements of e-commerce, including protecting information and different operational models.

    Working in the Global Context

    Cultural issues and any potential gaps are major factors to be considered by global business operators. This session gives a definition of the term “cultural gap” and also allows students to consider which countries offer the best opportunity for success.

    The Economics of Global Business

    It’s important to look at international business growth from several perspectives. In this session, students are presented with the AAA Approach, which includes adaptation, aggregation, and arbitrage.

    Building Your Growth Plan

    The best results in business come from a well-constructed, solid plan. This session gives students the essential elements that are the keys to branching out across the globe.

    Implementing Your Growth Plan
