Globalization and Keeping an International Midset There are many business men in the United States today that will say that the market is leaving their nation. Globalization is nothing new, but the effects of it can be seen more today than ever. The effects of globalization are not leaving they are only growing stronger. Entrepreneurs like Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, who found multinational companies are suggesting to business in their homeland of the United States to broaden their horizons and explore international possibilities, rather than ignore them. Globalization is not a bad thing. In fact, the effects of globalization are often encouraged. With the advancements of planes and trains, cultures, regions, and areas that were hard to reach, or completely unavailable, are now easy to access. The people of that land can bring their resources, ideas, and products to a much larger base that has an entirely new culture. Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, knows that globalization is not bad; it merely brings change to people and the world as a whole. Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, reevaluates his companies and makes sure that they are ready for globalization effects where they are located. Huling advises other companies to do the same. Keeping an international perspective is important for business in general. The international businessman that Huling is, knows what it takes to find success in businesses that are multinational. Specializing in international finance, Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, recommends to other businesses to keep a globally open mindset when doing international business. What business needs to do when looking to enter an internationally different location is research? Cultures have different greetings, foods, likes and dislikes, even hand gestures mean something different in other cultures. These differences should be first researched by the companies and learned in order to properly conduct business with the culturally different region they are looking to dive in. Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, encourages business executives to not spend time forcing their American business culture on the other businesses, because this can come off as rude and a deal could potentially be immediately lost. Thomas Huling, formerly of Global Funding Group, is an international businessman who has been in finance for nearly thirty years. The success of his small companies is what has brought him success on a larger level. The globally minded thinker encourages others to expand their mindsets to be more internationally focused.
