| 11/1/2023 | Too many companies assume they can conduct all international trade using U.S. dollars. They also assume the world of foreign exchange is just for large international companies. Both assumptions are wrong. Companies, including those that are small to midsized, will be more competitive if they understand how to leverage foreign exchange tools to increase exports and lower import costs. This webinar will explore ways in which foreign exchange management can increase your competitive position. This training event is sponsored by the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship and Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at Bradley University. This webinar is intended for both exporters and importers. Topic include:
