This series of lectures on International Business and Innovation covers a range of topics, from doing business across borders to essential background study before you start – then onto strategies a firm can adopt, entry strategies and last but not least concludes with a session on giving yourself the best chance of winning your deals.  There are, in addition, man other topics covered, including seemingly small sets of activities – but which may yet have a significant impact.

Hopefully these lectures will help those already involved in foreign ventures compare notes (the facilitator has more than 40 years of local South African as well as international business experience) and encourage those who are contemplating a move abroad to understand essential elements involved.
