Global vs. Local - Auckland
We now live in a highly connected world, with an increasingly accessible global population. With a world where marketplaces are now seen as “globally local” to be successful, companies need to understand the effect of “localising” their business operations to suit. Which begs the question – Can you succeed in servicing your market from afar? Or should you position yourself within growing business hubs?
Hear from business leaders with their insights into entering global markets, as well as securing local market share.
