Talk long enough to CEOs, particularly in the US or Europe, and their concerns will pour out: making their operations sustainable and developing "green" products places them at a disadvantage vis-a-vis rivals in developing countries that don't face the same pressures. Executives behave as though they have to choose between the largely social benefits of developing sustainable products or processes and the financial costs of doing so. The key to progress, particularly in times of economic crisis, is innovation. Just as some Internet companies survived the bust in 2000 to challenge incumbents, so too will sustainable corporations emerge from today's recession to upset the status quo. That competitive advantage will stand them in good stead, because sustainability will always be an integra...

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.

TPOs are increasingly required to quantify their outcomes and to be held accountable for their results.

Moreover, TPOs should constantly look to benchmark themselves, internally and ex...

When it comes to the airline industry, Gunnar Eklund's credo might just as well be "been there, done that." Over a career that has spanned 34 years, Gunnar has served-and lived-in such diverse countries as Liberia, Iran and Pakistan. Since 1985 he makes his home in the USA where this Swede is as American as they come. Gunnar started out in Stockholm, working for Scandinavian Airlines. After a two year's hiatus in Monrovia, Liberia (where he met his Guyana-born wife, Claudette), he was, after about two years in Stockholm, sent on to Teheran, Iran where he covered sales for Iran and Afghanistan. He arrived there in 1978, just a few weeks prior to the Ayatollah Khomeini's auspicious return from exile in France. Things were getting hot for westerners and Gunnar remembers one particular inci...
