Marketers in developed nations cannot take many technological advances for granted. They may not be available in lesser developed nations. Consider some of the following technologically related problems that firms may encounter in doing business overseas:
- Foreign workers must be trained to operate unfamiliar equipment.
- Poor transportation system increase production and physical distribution costs.
- Maintenance standards vary from one nation to the next.
