Go Global • Target throughout the world • Global vision of multi-national firms • Fear? Why?
The Fear of Trade and Globalization • Millions of Americans have lost jobs • Millions fear losing jobs • Threat of outsourcing if workers do not accept pay cuts • Vulnerability to operations moving offshore • Then, why is international marketing so hot?
Did you know?… • U.S. exports a fifth of industrial production. • One of every 10 jobs in U.S. is supported by exports. • U.S. businesses export over $800 billion. • Exports account for 25 percent of U.S. economic growth. • U.S. is world’s leading exporter of farm products.

U.S. Demographics (2) • U.S. is a Transient society • 16% moves each year (40% of those, out of country) • A nation of strangers leads to chains • Regional • Growth • Fastest in the West • California (most populous; 1/8 Americans) • Density • Most on the East Coast (Why??) • Key for businesses: local area, traffic counts, food
