Much of the information you will find in this part of our website is designed to help you reduce your learning curve, and to give you a better foundation for success. Many of you will read through it and ask whether you really have to do all of what we recommend. Not everything we suggest needs to be in place, but the more you do as a vendor to prepare yourself properly, the more likely it is that you will avoid costly mistakes.

The York Group has helped companies of all sizes from different parts of the world become successful in international markets. They have achieved their success using different strategies, and from these experiences we have developed processes and "best practices" that can be of benefit to most companies that are entering new markets for the first time, or that need help improving the operations they have already established.

We hope that by sharing some of our experience with you on this site you will be better able to address the challenges of going global.
