The Globalizing SME

Right now as I type, probably there’s a bunch of small business chatting with similar companies facing similar problems across the pond, others are closing business online and picking up orders, and probably a smaller crowd is looking for partnerships to tap new markets abroad or gain experience from foreign firms.




Name it as you like it, but globalization has hit many sme’s in several ways, as a light google search to improve their ability to manage their staff, to building a global client network, carefully linked thru laptops and smartphones, while this synergies are being well exploited, several other sme’s are missing the chance.



Could be demographics, could be technophobia, or simply a taste for good old fashion in management, but internet and social networks also do their share when it comes to handle customers and picking up orders.



Handy & Useful



The recent communications advances could be exploited by those less eager to exploit the latest technologies, a few clicks and you may find foreign companies in distress on sale for a bargain, others looking for partnerships, and other as well aiming to raise capital to reboot their business, for sme’s now it´s easier track regional and foreign affairs, sales and orders, also business software manager is also more freely available and so sme’s can take advantage from it.



The bottom line is next: Going global while remaining a nimble and nifty sme, can trutly pay off, if your company already have export experience, partnerships and product development for several kind of customers, turning in to a mini multinational company should come next.
