I am a student at Washington State Univeristy looking for some firsthand information regarding business opportunities in Ecuador and this specific region of South America in general. I would greatly appreciate if I could have a couple short questions answered by someone with some expertise in international business, or this specific area of interest.
Q: What are some common cultural understandings that an American businesswoman (in the case of my assignment it is regarding a businesswoman traveling to Ecuador) must have in order to be successful in this region?
Q: What are some of the best business opportunites that can be pursued by foreign investors in Ecuador (or the ADALI region of South America)?
Q: What are some other need-to-know facts that one should be aware of before traveling to this region (i.e. political, health, safety concerns, etc.)?
If any of these questions could be answered it would greatly help me in my studies. Thank you for your time and effort!
