Preparing to Meet Global Business Opportunity

Global Technology

In today’s economy, Business Communication has changed. No longer are your customers, co-workers, or even your immediate supervisor located in the same city or state you are located in. Technology has advanced so that your Director maybe located in Japan, you may be housed in the United States and your customers and/or co-workers may live in Spain. To be competitive in today’s market, you must be able to communicate by using technology as well as understand how to communicate with other cultures.
