Small business and the global economy

It's an interesting time for small businesses in the global economy. Big businesses have found a way to easily tap into labor arbitrage and vendors across the globe to make themselves more competitive. Small businesses struggle a little more with it. Part of it is due to the vendors themselves who just haven't figured out how to allow small businesses to engage with them simply and inexpensively in the global economy. Another part of it is that the small business owners themselves just don't know how to go out and engage that global workforce to their benefit.
