This course deals with the vital area of agency and distribution. It examines the differences, where each may be appropriate, EU legislation, finding, appointing and motivating your partners. It also highlights the pitfalls and potential costs of getting it wrong.
As one of the fastest growing economies in Central Europe, with an annual growth rate of over 6% before the late-2000s recession, Poland was the only European Union (EU) member country to have avoided a decline in GDP and in fact GDP grew by 1.8%.
With huge efforts in liberalising trade and the adoption of globally-recognised legal and financial standards, the Polish market has opened up to international competition. Success stories for UK companies include Tesco, Cadbury, HSBC Bank and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as many smaller companies who have established trade partners, offices, factories, subsidiaries or joint ventures.
Speaking volumes for the promise Poland holds, the UEFA European Football Championship will be hosted there in 2012 acting as a catalyst for the development of infrastructure, securing growth and investment for the future.
