Try the FREE Trial of Reference USA's "International Businesses" Module

Yesterday I attended a presentation from a Reference USA representative on their "International Businesses" module. We currently subscribe to the "U.S. Businesses" module, and any of you who have used Ref USA know the abundance of U.S. company information that it provides. However, any company headquartered outside the U.S. only presents information in the U.S. Businesses module for subsidiaries or offices located within the U.S.

For today's business students, knowledge of the U.S. economy and business environment is not enough preparation for future careers. In this era of globalization, we have to turn our sights to the world stage. Our economy is but a part of the intricate global relationships.

Until May 15, YSU has been given a free trial of the "International Businesses" module. Anyone interested in international business, feel free to explore this module. Also, please comment or contact me with your opinions. I was pretty impressed with the information available, but you, the students and faculty, are the ones who actually use the products we offer. Your input would be invaluable!

To access the free trial, go to Reference USA and click on "International Businesses Search." Let me know what you think!
