International Business Development Program
Venturing into new territories can be tough. You leave behind
the familiar and are faced with a world of unknowns. Languages,
cultures, government regulations, accounting practices, business
environment - so many things can differ from your current
market that you could easily begin to wonder why you left
home. A knowledgeable guide or a savvy advisor could make
a world of difference.
Even if you've already expanded into new markets there is
always more research that needs to be done. But, if your company
is like most, your resources are already stretched. You just
don't have the time or the qualified personnel to handle that
market study or business plan or evaluate that new idea. Perhaps
you've been meaning to hire someone to do those special projects
but haven't yet found the right person.
You could ask a consulting firm to help, or you could take
advantage of an outstanding program at the Walter
A. Haas School of Business at the University
of California, Berkeley.
