  April 2, 1997 - Over the last several decades, barriers to trade have decreased dramatically, and advances in technology have made the world a much smaller place. As a result, the business of international trade has become more accessible than ever before to the ordinary individual. |
|
Bank of the Orient believes that the key to success in the area of international trade is gaining access to information and experience -- ahead of the competition. With this in mind, the Bank sponsored a seminar on "International Trade in a Global Society" at our Oakland branch. The seminar brought together a variety of experts in the field. |
|
Despite varied backgrounds and experiences, participants agreed that the success of any international business depends on two important factors. The first is being able to develop and sustain human relationships through intercultural sensitivity, good humor, persistence, and a long-term view. The second is being able to adapt to change and to turn it to your advantage. We plan to sponsor more seminars in the future to encourage the expansion of international trade activity in the Bay Area.

Speakers included the Bank’s own Eduardo Mendoza, head of the International Division, and John Ng, Executive Vice President. |
