Why Approach International Business Strategies By Asking Questions?

Posted in Strategies at 5:43 pm by Administrator

Think of international business like playing three dimensional chess. For domestic business, the two axes are business culture and the country’s legal system. You know the moves, what is allowed and how to create a winning strategy. Going international immediately moves you into new business cultures and legal systems. You can develop new strategies but it requires careful calculation.

Adding to the challenge is the fact that international business is changing daily. Having a fixed reference is no longer adequate. Think about visiting your doctor - s/he can’t possibly keep up with the tsunami of new medical discoveries. You, as the patient have to be proactive and learn to ask the right questions to ensure you are getting the right answers.

This blog is predicated on the belief that the way to approach international business strategies is by knowing the right questions to ask. Once you know what to ask, you can use the resources of the web and networkign to find the best answers and experts. I want to use this blog as a platform to not only pose questions but also to suggest resources by drawing on the resources of the professionals in the field.

I encourage you to post responses to the topics and to send me suggestions for topics to be covered. E-mail me at questions@clynchinternational.com
