ABREVIATURAS EN CONOCIMIENTOS DE EMBARQUE

A continuación detallo las abreviaturas más comunes en los Conocimientos de Embarque (B/L)

LOS FACTORES CULTURALES Y LA EXPORTACIÓN

Los factores culturales constituyen un reto a superar en el momento de exportar. Aunque las personas son demasiado complejas para ser entendidas, podemos realizar un cuadro general de características de la cultura a la que se pretende vender con éxito un producto. Por ejemplo, mientras que en los Estados Unidos y el Norte de Europa el tiempo es dinero, en Medio Oriente todas las cosas de la vida deben tratarse en los términos de su propio tiempo, las negociaciones son duraderas y tienen como principal objetivo hacer que las partes se conozcan. Algo parecido sucede con la palabra de las personas, mientras que para los primeros la palabra no basta y debe constar por escrito, para los segundos la palabra es un contrato que será respetado. La habilidad para comunicarnos en nuestro propio idioma no es tarea fácil. Pero cuando cambia el idioma y la cultura, se presentarán retos adicionales para la comunicación.

INCOTERMS

Los Incoterms son un conjunto de reglas internacionales, regidos por la Cámara de Comercio Internacional, que determinan el alcance de las cláusulas comerciales incluidas en el contrato de compraventa internacional. Los Incoterms también se denominan cláusulas de precio, pues cada término permite determinar los elementos que lo componen. La selección del Incoterm influye sobre el costo del contrato. El propósito de los Incoterms es el de proveer un grupo de reglas internacionales para la interpretación de los términos mas usados en el Comercio internacional. Los Incoterms determinan: - El alcance del precio. - En qué momento y dónde se produce la transferencia de riesgos sobre la mercadería del vendedor hacia el comprador. - El lugar de entrega de la mercadería. - Quién contrata y paga el transporte - Quién contrata y paga el seguro - Qué documentos tramita cada parte y su costo.

4+3: Rethinking the Ps of marketing

Product , Placement , Price and Promotion – these are the four Ps of marketing. The 4Ps of marketing, also known as the producer-oriented model , have been used by marketers around the world for decades. The growing influence of the internet has made these classic principles look a bit archaic in light of the new relationship that businesses have with customers. In a day where customers seem to know everything about your business, the old marketing mix that the 4Ps offers is increasingly at odds with how business is done today. PLACE – IT’S NOT ABOUT PLACE, IT’S ABOUT ANY PLACE In an age where many businesses operate around always-on, high speed Internet access, “place” is irrelevant. When you can dip into almost the entirety of the world’s knowledge from the phone in your pocket, you’re always able to research, buy and advocate. It’s not about place any longer. Now, it’s about access . The information consumers...
