Enablers of International Business and Entrepreneurship

"Every generation needs a revolution an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION."

Dr. Serapio, the expert on International Business and Entrepreneurship (he hails from the Philippines) mentions that there are several enablers of international business and entrepreneurship;

l. IT
     l.  Service companies can provide their service anytime, anyplace, anywhere.  Just look at BPO and call centers
     2. Distance learning and education has closed the time and place limitation.
     3.  Telemedicine has been made possible for IT, and medical services may be availed of across borders

2,  IT marketing platforms.

This has levelled the playing field for entrepreneurs who want to sell in the international markets.  Just anybody can post at Craiglist, sell products at Ebay, and other marketing platforms:  Alibaba.com serves thousands a businessmen from China, Trade India.com, europages.com.  Before Taiwan had an advantage of having trade yellow pages mailed to many businessmen across the globe as their competitive advantage.

3.  Elsewhere, Governments have played key roles in development of international business and entrepreneurship. China encouraged certain provinces and towns to be cluster for piano, wood products and other export items, NZ encouraged agricultural and dairy products, US in partnership with UPS encouraged small and medium sized US companies to do business world wide.  The Korean government directed companies to invest in strategic business like the heavies, appliances and electronics. Maybe we have this in the Phil, but may not be so noticeable and passionate or focused..
