Changing Perceptions in the Global Economy
Perception is how we view, understand, and interpret the things around us. For international trade specialist, Ja’Nel Edens, a global mindset starts with changing your perception and thinking of yourself not just as a citizen of your nation, but as a global citizen. She states, “We must recognize that we are all interconnected in some way. We share similarities with other cultures outside of our own country and we are part of one big world, even though we are separated by waters.”
The risks of entering foreign markets are outweighed by the opportunities. Learn about how to make strategic decisions about market choices and entry strategies in this 30-minute webinar.
