*Subscriber Exclusive*

9. GLOBAL SERVICE FOR SHIPPERS
*Subscriber Exclusive*

Global regulations and restrictions have always created difficulties for those sending shipments, particularly when it comes to calculating landed cost. While a number of niche software vendors popped up to address this pain in the past few years, global shipper DHL has recently thrown its hat into the fray. The company now offers a comprehensive trade automation service for shippers, illustrating how the spread of e-business is prompting traditional companies to develop their own software solutions for customers.

14. TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE (TAWOTWS)
*Subscriber Exclusive*

If you can think wild thoughts, then you can most certainly go global.

People who go on vacations typically travel by car, train or plane. Have you ever considered traveling by horse? Well, not the entire trip but once you arrive at your destination? If so, then this is the place for you: Discover The World On Horseback. Hint: Don’t even think Smarty Jones on this adventure.

(Remember, inaction is the worst kind of failure.)
