ABSTRACT
Because of a combination of changing lifestyles, technological innovations, and the movement toward more favorable government regulations, the possibility of selling your products and services directly to the end-user without the use of local intermediaries is one of the most rapidly growing areas of international business. This is particularly true with the growing use of the Internet and in the area of catalog sales of consumer products, but is also important for those industrial products that must be individually designed to meet unique customer specifications.
