Uma gestão cuidadosa, baseada na sustentabilidade e na responsabilidade social, pode contribuir para resultados mais positivos para todos os stakeholders envolvidos.

1. Stakeholder Consultation: Engage stakeholders to understand their needs and concerns regarding integration. 2. Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluate the economic, social and political impacts of integration on stakeholders. 3. Mitigation Strategies: Develop plans to address negative impacts and maximize benefits for all parties involved. 4. Flexibility in Agreements: Ensure agreements are adaptable to changing circumstances and can accommodate diverse stakeholder interests. 5. Transparency & Communication: Maintain open communication channels to foster trust and keep stakeholders informed throughout the integration process. 6. Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation: Regularly assess the outcomes of integration efforts to make informed decisions.

Do You Integrate The integration process puts multiple strategies in play as one at the same time. Technology or business means combining different systems or parts to work smoothly together. - First, do you fit within the culture of the country you wish to operate in? You must be in tune with things, behaviors, traditions, and trends that annoy you. Yes, I said, annoyed. - Secondly, identify key policies or regulations that are easily addressed and those requirements beyond immediate reach. Sometimes, in some countries, you need the helping hands of a powerful local (business, political, or religious). These things are more important than the product or service you are trying to offer. How are you going to sell what you can't focus on?

Es necesario tener una visión completa acerca del sector regional en el cual estas interesado: - Reglamentaciones y acuerdos: Es indispensable estar al tanto de las últimas noticias en materia de acuerdos y pactos que podrían agilizar o ensuciar tu negocio. - Cultura: No siempre un producto es bien recibido en el país que realiza la importación, es necesario indagar acerca de la competitividad en la región y como no correr riesgos. - Impulsores regionales: Mantener un contacto con ciertos impulsores o allegados regionales es clave para la facilitar la integración regional, los cuales podrían ser socios fundamentales en tu negocio. La prosperidad de tu negocio siempre va a depender de un análisis macro regional apropiado y coherente.

- Beneficiaries/Losers Winner/loser is whoever you take resources from (family loses time spent with you, etc.) - Perception/Response If a small business, only a small group of people would care; if you are publicly traded, the perception affects the business value & profit. Most companies misuse the PR people to manage perception and response. - Needs /Expectations Broken into people, stages, and timing; certain things require face-to-face; others requiring some cash. Yep! - Strengths/Resources This isn’t easy to grasp; your strength starts with understanding resources the locals will accept. This isn't easy to grasp. - Building Trust/Mutual Benefit There is no such thing as equal, only fair. If you forget this, it will cost you.

Pay Attention 1. Understanding the Landscape - Laws and policies will often be interpreted differently by each regime change. 2. Preparing for Changes - The change is with everything: food, the barbershop, driving, grocery stores (a whole cow can be butchered in front of you, from mooing to a meal within an hour). Change means change. Some people are unaware that electricity always works in some countries and you always need a generator in others. 3. Adapting to the Shifting Environment - Pay attention to what's happening around you and your people as you pay attention to what's happening around you. 4. Monitoring, Evaluating, and Innovating - Be ready to do what the locals do and try to stay ahead with thinking ahead.

The average person, 90% of people, wants to be left alone. 9% like to be developed. 1% want the truth, and they will take care of the rest.
