Dal risvolto di copertina interno

As companies expand into the global marketplace, it is imperative that credit managers broaden their horizons to include international credit. Extending credit across international borders requires a credit manager to be well informed on issues around the world. Successful international credit managers must be able to grasp and implement foreign concepts such as country risk and forfaiting while also navigating different payment systems, legal systems, and cultures.

International Credit and Collections brings together contributions from international experts to provide a comprehensive review of vital issues in international credit. Firsthand accounts, real-life examples, and case studies are included to shed light on practices that may be foreign to credit managers.

The book begins with an overview of international credit that will help a manager establish credit standards for international customers that accurately reflect a company's domestic standards. Other sections feature discussion of these vital issues in the international arena:

? The basics of international collections-speeding up collections, invoice discounting, and the real-life stories of an international collection expert

? Cultural differences and awareness issues with a focus on Latin America, the Pacific Rim, and Europe

? In-depth coverage of unfamiliar concepts such as credit insurance and forfaiting

? Using bartering and countertrades

? Taking advantage of government programs
