THIS COURSE IS - A Practical, Hands-On Guide For Business Persons, Entrepreneurs and Government Agencies Promoting Sustainable Export and Business Development Who Want To Create, Build And Expand World Polyeconomic Businesses

Dr. Cross,(creator of English For Economic Development)  says - "I have written the BUSINESS INFORMATION PART OF THESE LESSONS with one objective in mind, to help you make more money, gain wealth, power and influence in your country, and in this polyeconomic world, creating, building and expanding your polyeconomic business. You will be able to expand as large as you desire by:

* planning

* export and business development

* creating long term international interactions

* developing low cost entry projects

* using computer and fax to access world information sources

* establishing joint ventures, licensing and international investment

* creating market oriented projects, products and services

When you do all this, you get rich in the polyeconomic world. It is possible whether you are from the smallest to the largest country in Africa, Asia, Latin America or the Middle East.

There are two major approaches taken by governments, firms and individuals to accomplish development. Many nations have taken the focus of fighting poverty. They treat the poor, have donations, volunteers, loans, etc. A rare few, in these countries, using this focus have become rich, wealthy and powerful. However, they have little world influence; it has eluded these countries and their entrepreneurs.

Many governments, firms and individuals are seeing the key to economic development using a more positive, entrepreneurial approach. Instead of fighting poverty, they have focused on generating and creating wealth through business development focused on world markets and export.

These countries such as India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have BECOME RICH. Hundreds, even thousands, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of their entrepreneurs enjoy tremendous wealth and power within their countries and the world.

You want to create a growing business within your country that can expand into a multinational corporation. You want to have power and

influence in your country, to be respected, to have prestige, and to have power. You want to be able to influence people and politics, to have an impact on the course of development in your country.

The problem is, most aspiring entrepreneurs simply do not manage to create a world class business. Study after study shows just how few new businesses make significant profits or stay in business at all.

Why do so many of these entrepreneurs, their products and services, fails? What prevents the maximization of their business? Several significant reasons include the following.

bulletNot planning the business. Too few entrepreneurs develop even a one page document based on a full plan of production, marketing and quality control plans and projects. If you want to make money and become very wealthy in today's competitive world markets, you must create an updatable business plan and use it as a working tool.
bulletNot developing and applying an international business marketing plan, in addition to the above mentioned business plan, before beginning production of products you want to export. 
bulletMost developing countries are promoting export production within their countries. As a result, many entrepreneurs are encouraged to get into export without knowing what products are available, what quality and safety requirements are required in target markets, and indeed what target markets are best for their products.
bulletNot understanding the target market consumers needs, interests and lifestyles. In the USA, Japan and Europe, customers buy things that fit their lifestyle, their color schemes, their preferred size, shape, and quality standards.
bulletNot understanding that different approaches to marketing are required for cultures different than your own. If you want to motivate people who have a different lifestyle, different goals and aspirations than those in your own ethnic group and culture, you've got to create products and services that meet their needs and more importantly you've got to market to them in the way they are used to, so they will buy.
bulletBut most developing country entrepreneurs attempt to sell international buyers the same way they sell to buyers in their own culture. As a result, most international buyers are uninterested in their products and turn to local entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs from countries they trust such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan and others who have good quality records. Entrepreneurs in these countries have studied their buyers and know what the customers want and need. And they give them those items.
bulletNot finding out from buyers what they want and need both in products and services. If you want to make money in the international business arena, you need to produce products for which there is already a demand. As an international marketer, follow the Japanese approach. Wait until a product is developed in a target market, then manufacture that product in your country and sell it to them. Don't try to do product development. Your resources are too limited.
bulletNot developing long term relationships with buyers and suppliers. Many business persons in developing countries want to make a killing on one big deal, instead of slowly creating trust and confidence through client bonding and linking on a lifetime basis.
bulletNot understanding the need for outside knowledge and technology. Developing country entrepreneurs who become wealthy and form multinational corporations know that technology transfer, licensing, joint ventures, and international investment are the keys to successful wealth building. They place a great deal of emphasis on obtaining international resources of science, technology and information and use them to create marketable products and services they can sell back into the same marketplace where they obtained the technology from. 
bulletTrying to begin with high cost products that require extensive development costs and high tech equipment, elaborate quality control systems, high front end costs and high capital input to begin with. Thus, they are trying to export products they can hardly afford to produce in the first place. Smart developing country entrepreneurs find low cost entry products to begin with and target into selected markets. And they find low cost ways to promote to their chosen markets.
bulletNot developing your business from the very beginning to be an integral part of the developing world polyeconomy. Most developing country entrepreneurs are narrowly focused and do not understand the need to form long term relationships with people who are not of their culture. Frankly international businesspersons offer an entrepreneur the opportunity to develop unlimited, large scale, long term, successful markets for their products and services.
bulletNot researching, finding and selecting an international information, science and technology transfer/conduit organization to be a long term working associate in their business development. In order to develop a successful world class business based on export, internationals in developing countries need information on tastes and trends in the marketplace, sources and possible ways to obtain investments, and technology. You just can't go it alone.

Developing country entrepreneurs who seek wealth, prestige and power as well as influence, look at themselves frankly. They don't pretend they already know everything they need to know about developing a business, buying equipment, training workers, packaging, marketing and negotiation. They pragmatically acknowledge their need to know and to gain technology and information from outside sources. What they want is information they can trust, that will work and guide them to the wealth they want.

Some large Japanese corporations, with sales in the billions, are often caught trying to steal technology from IBM or other corporations. Even as these large multinational Japanese trading companies admit they need outside technology and help, so can you, as a developing country entrepreneur, often with poor support systems in your country, can accept technical assistance that would bolster your successes.

Do you want to create a multimillion dollar sustainable business? Can you face the fact head on that you need help? Do you understand that you need resources from international sources in developed countries, resources that have already succeeded? If you answer yes, you'll establish many relationships, develop a close working relationship with a firm that can source these resources for you, and consider them an integral part of your business development strategies and systems package.
