5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, February 28, 2002
This review is from: The Global Entrepreneur: Taking Your Business International (Paperback)
This is an excellent source for everything from foreign market evaluation to the documentation for your first sale. Well written and enjoyable to read. While startng out in the game of global enterprise, I have a lot of questions. The questions are being answered, plus all the ones I didn't know I needed to ask. The book excites me to pursue the markets. Before hand I thought it would frighten or discourage me, reading about all the work and risk involved. It was encouraging to hear that international business is where to see the world and its cultures, not just a way to increase profits. I plan to use this book as the guide when our company goes global.

5.0 out of 5 stars Global Entrepreneur Excellent Introduction to Global Arena, December 3, 2001
By B. S. Quist (Columbus, OH, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Global Entrepreneur: Taking Your Business International (Paperback)
As a newcomer to the "world of global business," I was searching for one resource that would quickly build my understanding of the various aspects of the international arena. I was thrilled to discover The Global Entrepreneur, by James Foley. This book covers everything from basic definitions to the broad issues of "how," "why," and "when" to go global, while also providing solid information on specific topics such as logistics, marketing, relationship building, strategic planning, and using the internet.
And it accomplishes all this in an informal, easy to read and understand style. Mr. Foley writes in a conversational manner, taking information that could be quite dry and boring, and making it interesting and exciting. As an added benefit, the book also includes numerous other resources to enhance your research and exploration of the global arena.
The Global Entrepreneur offers a wealth of information and is a practical resource/reference book for anyone involved in, or becoming involved with, global business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for small business entrepreneurs, May 2, 2000
This review is from: The Global Entrepreneur: Taking Your Business International (Paperback)
This book is extremely hands-on and practical for small business owners and even consultants specializing in the field of international trade. Some of the most arduos taks for new-to-export are explained in a very readable and comprehensible format. These include international pricing determinnation, performing product research using Harmonized Codes system and even categorizing countries with the highest probability of export potential for prducts and services based on suggested research results. I found very interesting also the author's explanation of the ovewhelming impact of the Internet in international trade transactions and suggested steps to take advantage of the Web as a means to conduct business. I highly recommend it.
