By the My MBA Career Content Team � Find Top MBA Degree Programs A U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) recently made an announcement concerning the activities of MBAs, entrepreneurs and other small businessmen and women.
On October 5, USTR Ronald Kirk discussed new initiatives that could help small business people gain access to exporting.
"USTR is sharpening its focus on small- and medium-sized American businesses to craft new trade policies and enforce existing ones in ways that will help these firms grow exports around the world, and grow jobs here at home," said Kirk.
Kirk has requested that an investigation be conducted by the International Trade Commission to better understand what American businesses need. "Small- and medium-sized enterprises are at the heart of employment and job creation here in the United States, and so a heightened focus on helping this sector is the right thing for USTR to do," the USTR continued.
The U.S. government is trying to help the country's small businesses succeed. If you've always wanted to start your own company, but feel you don't have the know-how to do so, consider enrolling in an MBA program today.
