Blogs are everywhere. Interested in culturally diverse articles of interest? Want to be the first on the block with the latest gadget from Apple? Keep tabs on the latest buzz at Engadet or Gizmodo. Need to keep current on the latest developments in Global Trade Management? We want to be the site you turn to first. Okay, I honestly don't know if our editorial will be as interesting as a study on the eating learning curve of bionic monkeys, or how the crew of the International Space Station defied all odds and fixed their faulty commode à la McGeyvor, but give us a chance.

Our goal is to cover all facets of Global Trade Management to assist importers, exporters, logistics providers, and financial institutions to understand current trends and apply best practices in their organization. We will cover GTM from the business process, the technology, the information serves, and the people that make it all possible in areas like:

And to help executives formulate strategies and answer questions like:

  • How can I strengthen regulatory compliance as the number of countries I trade with increases?
  • What is the best approach to make sourcing and/or distribution decisions based on total landed cost?
  • What are the IT requirements of shifting from a Distribution to a Direct Procurement model?
  • How should my organization balance centralized and decentralized resources in global supply chain management?
  • What is the best way of communicating the business case for a GTM investment?
  • What are the best practices in Supply Chain Visibility and how can I get the value from my implementation?
  • How should I structure my global manufacturing to best leverage preferential trade agreements?
  • What metrics are used to manage GTM?
  • How can I contain escalating costs in international transportation?

Please join our site to keep current on GTM; to not only educate yourself, but to share your experiences in this area and advance the entire community.
