Workshop: Internationalization through e-Commerce

Both a dream and a potential headache, the allure of internationalization is very strong for e-Commerce merchants both in Switzerland and around the world. However, the structural and organizational challenges it presents require a special kind of approach – a study of this is what is on offer at the Internationalization Through e-Commerce workshop. We will investigate the drivers of internationalization through the presentation of the Swiss Factor in e-Commerce study, plus a look at the practical side of things such as fiscal, legal and logistics matters and finally – always from a concrete perspective, a series of how-tos on setting up and deploying an e-Commerce shop that is ready to meet the world.
