As the ubiquity of the Internet has fostered more interest in business outside the United States, the need for companies to see their market and competitive environment in a global perspective has forced more businesses to think internationally. This book asks the experts to reveal their strategies for finding international business information on the Web. Through a collection of 15 interviews with expert online researchers, exploration of the specific challenges of reaching outside a researcher's geographic area and expertise is detailed. In-country experts from around the world such as librarians and researchers from government organizations, multinational companies, universities, and small businesses discuss issues such as non-native language sources, cultural bias, and judging reliability of unfamiliar sources. Interviewees are from countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, China, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, and The Netherlands.Bates, Mary Ellen is the author of 'Super Searchers Cover the World The Online Secrets of International Business Researchers', published 2001 under ISBN 9780910965545 and ISBN 0910965544.
