Grow Globally is the practical guidebook for smart corporate international expansion. Mona Pearl details the dangers, the opportunities and, most importantly, the necessary steps to ensure your success. If you run a company and are planning to expand into other countries, you must read this book first.-Robert Jordan, author, How They Did It: Billion Dollar Insights from the Heart of America,
