The 6 Top Languages Global-Minded CEOs Should Know, and WHY

Today I’d like to share an article by Ofer Shoshan from SmallBusiness.Yahoo.com which discusses the top 6 languages Global-Minded CEOs should know, and most importantly, WHY.

If you’re a business owner participating in eCommerce, world mapunderstanding your target market and their native language can mean the difference between failure and success. After reading this article I’m certain you won’t race down to the local linguist store and pick up a language, (thats not how it works anyways), but understanding the languages, markets and culture of these growing cultures can mean the difference between success and failure.

Check out the list below:

  1. Spanish
  2. Portuguese
  3. Chinese
  4. Russian
  5. Arabic
  6. German

Now that you have the list, click on the article below and find out WHY these languages are so important for Global-Minded CEOs.

The 6 Top Languages Global-Minded CEOs Should Know.

I am not suggesting that CEOs enroll in Rosetta Stone and cram as many languages as possible, but rather seek to understand the opportunity your product or service can offer these emerging economies. Understanding the language, people, culture,  challenges and opportunities can expose you to new opportunities where you can increase your reach.
