In the globalizing world of today, export constraints are diminishing: falling trade barriers; declining transport costs; new information and communications technologies; international migration; and fluid investment flows create new business prospects and bring skilled players into new markets. At the same time, products and services - and demand for them - are changing rapidly. New opportunities are matched by new challenges: keeping up with snappy innovation in products and services; intense price wars that squeeze out production inefficiencies and transform supplier relations; soaring quality requirements that weed out those unable to meet them; and new competition on the domestic front, with more imports and locally-based multinationals. With fiercer competition, the winners are th...

Trade promotion organizations (TPOs) have proven their worth over the last decade in the rapidly changing nature of world trade. A recent study found that TPOs have a strong and statistically significant impact on exports. After examining 104 TPOs around the world, the study estimated that, on average, each $1 spent on export promotion led to a $40 increase in exports. However, making a difference to export growth can be a challenging task for TPOs in some developing countries. TPOs are increasingly required to quantify their outcomes and to be held accountable for their results.

International Trade Commission's (ITC) new senior management is using the recommendations of a major external evaluation of ITC, led by Denmark, as a point of departure to initiate a change management process. The aim is to transform the organization into a center of technical excellence that responds effectively to its clients in developing and transition economies. The first step was to set up focus groups at the beginning of the transition process in Jun 2006, to explore areas outlined in the evaluation report. On the other hand, stakeholders unanimously welcomed the idea of presenting a Consolidated Programme Document linked to ITC's work program and endorsed its proposed format. The Consolidated Program Document is designed to facilitate a more results-oriented approach in planning...

For small firms to meet the significant and growing challenges of globalization, they need governmental and institutional back-up. A three-pronged approach can help build and strengthen competitiveness: closer business-government partnership; effective networking of national agencies involved in the value chain; and optimal use of new technologies. Globalization has sharpened competition. The main challenge facing firms is how to take advantage of new resources and markets while dealing with intense and growing global competition. The challenge facing governments is how to design and implement supportive policies and strategies. Business and government both need to intensify their partnership to build and strengthen competitiveness.
