DESCRIPTION

Many companies reach a tipping point where growth requires international expansion, whether selling or producing products and services across borders. Done right, such expansion can lead to sustainable growth and ensure the long term success of a company. On the flip side, moving into the wrong market at the wrong time can not only derail growth, it can lead to a company's demise. When considering international expansion, preparation is key. Companies must first identify the right opportunities, and then make educated strategic decisions by understanding legal, political and economic implications of engagement across international borders. Join us as renowned international business expert Larry Harding, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Radius, offers his insights and expertise in international expansion theory and practice.
