Our Global Small Business World 2010 trend piece is ready for viewing over at our favorite trend hub: Small Business Trends!
Interesting post by Elison Elliott for the Foreign Policy "Global Markets" Blog Network (launched February, 2009):
Don't Bet Against China
It's running in line with our predictions No. 4 and 5 here. Elison and I have been in touch via email. I hope to interview him soon on this topic at The Global Small Business Blog.
Also make note of prediction No. 4 in our report talking about China "borrowing our ideas ..." Looks like Google has a short fuse on this.
Fascinating. Another interesting piece .
The media coverage is extraordinary on the powerful earthquake (measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale) that struck near Port Au Prince, Haiti on January 12. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who is suffering right now in Haiti.The President has been receiving updates on the urgent situation in Haiti late into last night and throughout the day, and top members of his team have been convening to formulate the government response.
You can also help immediately by donating to the Red Cross to assist the relief effort. Contribute online to the Red Cross, or donate $10 to be charged to your cell phone bill by texting "HAITI" to "90999." Find more ways to help through the Center for International Disaster Information.
If you are in the process of expanding abroad, avoid cultural gaffes by learning local business etiquette in the country you are about to do business.|
