Episode: US Imports, Africa and Germany. Max Sutherland of WTC Atlanta
Description: How did Chase Manhattan dramatically increase its sales in Africa? What happens if a simple feather is not declared on a cargo manifest? How did KPMG win a contract with Germany’s SAP? Max Sutherland, head of the World Trade Center Atlanta, presents many funny and serious issues ranging from the French high cuisine of hot dogs and hamburgers served in a penthouse, to linguistic blunders, koi and kudzu, and critical cues for US importing. The key to international business, he states, is learning what you don’t know, having fun, and saying Yes to opportunities.
