iGlobal Strategies LLC is a consulting and research firm dedicated to the better understanding of global companies, management practices, and markets.  We believe few resources exist to help companies and individuals understand markets outside of their own country, even in today’s world of increasing globalization.  Through publications, consulting, and new media outlets such as blogs and podcasts, we are filling that gap.  Whether you believe globalization is good or bad, it is here to stay.  It will likely only quickens in its pace as technology matures.  The global slowdown of 2008-09 is a perfect example that countries are not “decoupled” as some might argue.  The global economy is linked and becoming even more so.

With the increased linkage comes the responsibility to learn more about business practices around the world.  The United States, for example, is not the center of the world’s business activity, although it plays a very vital role.  Global investors and business men and women must take time to understand countries other than there own.  We believe this is best done through a concise look at a country’s history, its economy, its government, and its leading companies.  All of these are a reflection of a country’s culture which can be easily understood if the right education is provided.
