New markets emerge almost daily, offering boundless potential to those with the vision to see them, the courage to pursue them, and the persistence to capture them. But a keen eye, a strong heart, and a tenacious temperament do not guarantee success in this swirling maelstrom of competition. You'll also need a generous supply of the most precious commodity in the global marketplace—knowledge.
