Outbound: A Pragmatic Guide to International Business - 2079

We’re in a global economy and there’s no turning back. Pandemics and bouts of isolationism notwithstanding, businesses of all sizes are increasingly looking to international markets for growth…as they should. The opportunities are vast, and, with ever-expanding advances in technology, communication, and logistics, increasingly attainable for even the smallest venture. Equally true, however, is the reality that competing in international markets is difficult. Most daily business challenges experienced here at home—whether strategic, commercial, or operational—are amplified many times over abroad. There are simply no short cuts. Success requires thoughtful, pragmatic planning and relentless focus on execution. In Outbound, Mathew Segal distills his learnings gathered over years of helping companies expand globally into an easily digestible, practical guide on international business. His goal is to help the reader avoid pitfalls and maximize chances for success by providing: Practical frameworks to guide strategic decision-making about the where and how of international business Real-world coverage of key tactical considerations such as pricing, incoterms, trade agreements, finding customers, and risk management A wealth of resources and tools to support realization of international growth objectives Relatable case studies and examples, based on first-hand experience, to add context to the topics covered Whether you’re an executive, consultant, attorney, service provider, student, or anyone else interested in the topic, Outbound will serve as an invaluable resource as you continue your own journey into the world of international business.
