·    What are the characteristics for successful entry into new international markets?

·    How can â€?sustainability’ affect decision making within businesses?

·    Why are today’s global investors so concerned about national debt issues?

·    In what ways does an awareness of cultural differences improve decision making by international marketing and human resource strategists?
