Perspectives on Globalization for Technology Firms

It’s difficult to talk much about today’s economy without considering globalization.  No industry is more affected than technology.  By now we’ve read dozens of stories about Apple developing products in the US while building them in China and selling them in virtually every county.  Virtually every technology company located anywhere in the world has to have a strategy that contemplates globalization.  We are fortunate to have with us today two of the worlds experts on globalization in technology.  Hans Peter Bech, based in Denmark, is the founder and CEO of TBK Consult (www.tbkconsult.com), which assists ambitious software-driven companies with the planning and execution of international penetration strategies in order to become global market leaders.  Jim Yates, the CEO and Founder of Network Magic Corporation, has more than 30 years of progressively responsible experience leading multi-national teams in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, directing businesses with revenues in excess of $250 million.  Jim is Australian by birth and is based in Orlando, Florida.
