As global business leaders and citizens you have a significant influence on the economy of the world. Your actions and the actions of your colleagues, whether in a garage or in the boardroom determine the future of businesses and economies globally. No area is more dynamic more than global business which encompasses the responsibilities and opportunities of companies that operate across national boundaries.

A global company has a presence in multiple countries through direct sales subsidiary companies as well as joint ventures and partnerships as well as exports to foreign markets. It also adapts products and services to the specific cultural context of each market. It is also likely to be familiar with the laws policies, practices, and laws of other nations that affect its ability to conduct business there.

A company must also be familiar with the economics of each country. This is in addition to the political and legal aspects of business. It is essential to understand how to use data to assess the economy of a country, its competitiveness, and growth opportunities.

Building trust with local customers is essential to the success of expanding into a new market. It is therefore 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. Companies with a local presence are more aware of the local culture and business practices. This can help them develop strategies to reach their target audience.
