Minority Exports: A Resource Guide '99. Overview

摘要

An array of export assistance services designed to help even the smallest211u001ebusinesses become global competitors. Some of these initiatives are new and 211u001euntested; others are well established. There are so many initiatives it is 211u001edifficult to navigate through the maze of them to get to what is needed. The 211u001ereport is a navigational tool to help minority firms identify different resources 211u001efor different needs. It anticipates some of the critical questions minority-owned 211u001efirms have about the export process, regardless of their overall development, and 211u001eprovides a comprehensive reference guide of sources of information and assistance 211u001efor firms. There are six chapters in this book. Each chapter presents questions 211u001eand answers about the export process. Reference materials are included that 211u001eprovide the best answers to the listed questions. Instead of attempting to 211u001eprovide static answers to the export questions of today, this book foresees that 211u001enothing in the new millennium will remain the same for very long. Therefore, this 211u001ebook is distinguished from other 'export how too' books because it is a tool for 211u001enavigating through the ever-changing landscape of information and resources. It 211u001eshows the reader where to look for answers to questions and explains how the 211u001evarious public and private sector providers of export services and programs are 211u001ewoven into a complex mosaic of assistance. While answering important questions, 211u001ethis book delves deeper to demonstrate how to conduct the research that is 211u001erequired to succeed in exporting.
