In a previous post on the Retail SCM Summit 2011 I mentioned that China as a rising economic powerhouse and on its way to become the world’s second largest consumer market after the United States. With a large population of fashion and brand conscious consumers increasing their spending as their incomes rise, the consumer retail market in China is expected to continue to grow, opening up huge opportunities for European and US retail stores that may be considering expanding into the Chinese market. While the upside is obvious, the pitfalls and hurdles are not, and that is the topic of  Retail Operations in China: Capturing the Opportunity and Managing the Risk, a webinar hosted by US-based law firm Mintz Levin and scheduled for September 19 at 1pm EST.

Trade Compliance and Export Control are not just buzzwords in global supply chain. They represent significant risks. Breach of trade rules and regulations can have serious ramifications for businesses, ranging from mere fines to loss of contract, not to mention loss of reputation, and even bankruptcy if the breach should result in long-lasting and costly legal litigations. Consequently, knowing the risks and their impacts is important for any company involved in global trade and that is the topic of the latest webinar by WTG, Global Risk and Compliance – Are you protected?, presented by Neill Cooke, Ethics and Compliance Manager at UK-based IMI plc. Using practical examples, this webinar will outline various risks and their consequences for international companies, and I for one look forward to listening and watching this webinar.

Although “German” traffic from countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland make up less than 10% of my visitors, I still feel compelled to promote this webinar that will air on 19 April 2011, not only because I myself am fluent in German, but also because it relates directly to my blog topic and to some of my previous posts. In Management von Trade Compliance und Exportkontrollrisiken Innerhalb Einer Internationalen Supply Chain or Managing Trade Compliance and Export Risks in Global Supply Chains, as I would translate it, Torsten Röser and Thomas Kofler take a closer look at the risks and pitfalls involved in trading across borders, and in particular how non-compliance with trade and regulations can severely hamper supply chain operations.

I’ve never given much though to webinars as a means of communication, as  blogging is my force, although I do have a lecture on supply chain risk, but not in webinar style.

So, what’s in store at WTG Webinar?
