The course aims to build a clear vision for business owners and managers regarding the opportunities and challenges associated with international expansion. Strategic Export Management Addresses how to build an integrated export strategy starting with evaluating the company's capabilities and products, then identifying target markets, setting goals and indicators, defining resources and responsibilities, and finally preparing an actionable and measurable export plan. The course helps participants transition from random exporting to operating with a clear vision and plan. Financial Management for the Exporter A practical course focusing on the financial aspects that govern the success of the export process, starting from calculating the true cost of the product and export pricing, through profit margins, cash flows, and transaction financing, to managing currency, payment, and collection risks. It aims to empower the exporter to make sound financial decisions and maintain the profitability of their international operations. Building an Export-Ready Organization Focuses on internally preparing the company to enter international markets by developing the administrative structure, defining roles and responsibilities, building an international sales department, and organizing documentation, processes, quality, and customer service.
