I first started advising SME's to consider new markets especially emerging economies back in 2008 when the UK economy was heading for a fall. People couldn't understand why I kept insisting they at least explore the potentials. I now actively help SME's to expand into these markets. By creating strategic alliances in the in the GCC And the assistance of local partners now have a successful business. Whilst i have concentrated heavily on the GCC especially Qatar; I am now looking to create alliances with key players in Malasia, LatAm, Singapore so that my clients have the best possible start a s chance of survival and hopefully a lucrative return. It's scary how little people know or understand about the state of Global Economy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953532407597167638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685558.post-45930870100245903422010-04-16T19:23:08.369-05:002010-04-16T19:23:08.369-05:00Thank you all for weighing in with your comments. ...Thank you all for weighing in with your comments.

Of course, I'm not alone in feeling that there is no turning back -- a purely domestic economy will never exist again. I was recently asked by the University of San Diego to develop an executive certificate program called "Cross-Cultural Core Competence and Multinational Business Strategy." http://www.sandiego.edu/crosscultural. At first, I was skeptical. I reasoned that any company at the stage of globalization would be large enough to have this kind of training in-house. WRONG !! It ends up that the most soaring statistics of companies who most utilize this kind of training are actually SMEs (Small-Medium Business Enterprise). The registrations in this area exceed those of any large companies. I would be thrilled to see any of you in my course and just as happy to discuss any global challenges you may have in the initial stages of going "global" or exploring the benefits of other national economies. In the meantime, happy to have found your blog and hope to participate more regularly.

Emerging markets are quickly improving their "ease of doing business" and investing heavily in attracting international investment. The resources available to international entrepreneurs make "going global" much more achievable than just a few years ago.Heath Arensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221838809281862600noreply@blogger.com
