Looks like a great new magazine for entrepreneurs and SMEs. Would be interested
in hearing if you have any plans to include "internationalization" section for
SMEs in future issues?
Keep up the good work!
Yes we do have a section called World Class which features SMEs going global. :
-) We did an article on Buena Mano Crafts in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue, and in the
current one, Jan/Feb 2008, we featured Don Roberto's Winery Corp.--a mango win
e exporter. Thanks for your support!
