Resources
The following is a list of resources I consult regularly or find useful. Rather than being a laundry list of links, included are only the most relevant and unique resource for the international business development professional.

Web Globalization
- Web Globalization News is an informative ezine published by byte level/research which is "dedicated to the art and science of web globalization". The company has also recently launched the Global by Design blog. A lot of great information can be discovered such as the world's most dangerous country top-level domains (i.e. .ca or .us), insights into what makes a great global web site and the best free online translation services.
Cultural Diversity
- Culture Matters started out as a montly newsletter and has since migrated to blog format. As the author, Vicki Flier Hudson notes, "we voyage across the globe bringing you the best in cross-cultural practices and lessons learned from multi-cultural corporations." And it truly is valuable advice, but most importantly, it is practical and relevant to any business going international, regardless of size.
