My school is holding an event around the theme of the international competitiveness of U.S. firms engaged in international business. The University will host industry leaders in exporting, executives of multinational corporations, representatives of professional and trade associations, policy makers and regulators from federal and state authorities, community leaders, and reporters from the business press, among others. The goal of the event is to exchange ideas on how to increase the competitiveness of U.S. firms operating in the global economy. This includes (but is not limited to) areas of investment, public policy, and organizational practices and capabilities. As a student in a specialized international business graduate program, you have been invited to deliver a brief speech on your ideas pertaining to the topic of the event. The event organizers would like you to address the audience and provide insights on how you think U.S. firms can enhance their competitiveness in foreign markets, particularly emerging and developing economies.
