Global Info

One of my best international sources is Peter Zapf, of Global Sources. His firm has worked in Asia nearly 40 years and it specializes in facilitating international trade.

Now, he tells me, the company is making its print magazines available for free download in .pdf format.

Entrepreneurs who want to source manufacturing or product in China, and U.S. firms that want to begin exporting, often feel like they face a bewildering morass of treaties, laws, cultural dissonance and language barriers.

These magazines would no doubt be a terrific resource for companies who need to research the international market.
