In fact, half the U.S. manufacturers surveyed in this year’s Bank of America Merrill Lynch CFO Outlook are most likely to grow internationally by setting up an in-market subsidiary. To achieve success in these foreign markets, establishing a global team is vital. However, many companies run into challenges collaborating efficiently when employees are divided by oceans and time zones. To successfully implement international collaboration, U.S. manufacturers should keep these considerations in mind. 1. Conduct a local talent search. When working across continents, the importance of strong local partners cannot be underestimated.
