RESOURCES FOR MARKET ANALYSIS & EVALUATION

This module is all about understanding globalization and global strategy. We will explore various frameworks for making strategic “global” decisions. Organizations should expand internationally for the right reasons and in this module we will take a strategic look at competing in a global world. We will learn how to determine if it makes sense to expand overseas and if so, determine expansion priorities.

STRATEGIES FOR INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION & INTERNATIONAL SALES CHANNELS

In this module we will learn why companies distribute to foreign markets and the best modes of entry for distribution into those markets. We will explore indirect and active distribution methods and learn the risks and rewards for each of them. When deciding to expand internationally, it is important to make the best distribution decision for the specific markets you are entering outside of your home country.

TERMS OF SALE (INCOTERMS)

In this module we will examine terms of sale (INCOTERMS) and landed cost. When exporting products around the world, it is important for the importer and exporter to agree on the cost of goods, risk of product loss and movement of the goods. This is called terms of sale and is critical to international trade. Management must be in a position to make the best decisions about the level of control they want in the supply chain. Finally, those engaging in global trade must also understand the importance of landed cost, and not just the quoted price for products. As an exporter, this is critical for determining your competitive position in countries around the world.

TERMS OF PAYMENT/REDUCING FINANCIAL RISK, TRADE BARRIERS, AND FREE-TRADE ZONES

In this module we will examine terms of payment, trade barriers and free-trade zones. When exporting products around the world, it is important for the importer and exporter to agree on the method of payment for the goods. This is called terms of payment and is critical to international trade. Those engaging in global trade must understand trade barriers like tariffs and quotas, as these can have a material impact on final landed cost and product availability. Finally, those engaging in export management must capitalize on the benefits of free-trade zones.

LOGISTICS & HOW TO GET PRODUCT TO INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

In this module we will examine the various logistics, including ocean and air transportation, intermediaries utilized in global trade. These intermediaries are critical to the process of export management, as they will arrange for all of the paperwork and transportation.
