INTERNATIONAL TRADE OPERATIONS
ASSIGNMENT 1
“A clear majority are either in the process of evaluating their supply network, just completed an evaluation or are just about to start one.”

Retailers such as Wal-mart are operating in North and South America, Asia, Europe and the company also recently announced its entry into the emerging market of South Africa.
