Seminar Covers Research Techniques for Business Success in a Global Marketplace

 

PORTLAND, ME - While most business people would agree that there is an enormous amount of information available today on the Internet and in publications, how quickly can most of us find the specific information needed and how credible is the source?  The seminar, entitled "Beyond GoogleTM:  Research Techniques in a Global Marketplace," will provide practical information and research techniques that Maine business professionals can use to investigate new markets and develop international opportunities.  This Maine International Trade Center seminar will be held on Thursday, April 8, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. in South Portland.

This seminar will review strategies for international market research; provide an overview of available periodical research tools for business and trade publications; and introduce specific tools useful for Internet trade research.   Featured speakers are: Don Chappell, MEP Management Services; Zip Kellogg, University of Southern Maine Library; and Ed Barr, World Trade Center Rhode Island.

The program is part of the Citizens Bank Foundation International Trade Series  and will be held at the UNUM Provident Learning Center in South Portland.  Cost to attend is $30 for MITC members and $60 for non-members.  

For more information or to register, please contact Cheryl Rau at (207) 541-7455 (email: rau@mitc.com) or visit the website:  http://www.mitc.com.
