Web Revolution

Creating a web site is easy. Creating a successful international e-business takes more thought.

The virtual world of business is an entirely different ball game. You must be prepared to rethink everything—from building your web site and targeting your marketing to conducting due diligence on sales inquiries to taking and fulfilling orders. To help you revolutionize your e-business strategy, the Commercial Service is bringing together three global e-business icons—Google, FedEx, and Baker & McKenzie—to share best practices in our Web Revolution half-day seminars.
