What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

• 5 tech companies doing good in this world.
• Why India could single-handedly shape the future of e-commerce.
• What you need to know about the global economy this week.
• Quote of the week: "I think, because of globalization, the world is getting increasingly smaller, so that if some event happens around the globe, it’s not something that happens way out there. That event might very well have something in common with what’s happening here." – Sidra Hamidi, Ph.D.
• Israel and USA sign cybersecurity agreement.
• Sidra Hamidi was just 7 years old when she moved with her family from Karachi, Pakistan, to the Chicago area.  Now, she's bringing an impressive resume to Eckerd College as one of 12 new tenure-track faculty members.
