Introduction

In international transactions, the parties may have different values and customs. They have to adhere to different sets of governmental regulations. They are subject to separate and distinct laws under disparate legal systems.

So, to take a very basic example, the terms and conditions that are applied locally may not be enforceable internationally. Thus, a new approach and an "international outlook" must be incorporated into the company ethos in international contract management to consider these important factors.

In addition to tendering and contractual issues that can arise in domestic transactions, the parties must also learn to deal with all subjects in the international contract management context, such as logistics, export and import regulations, differing technical standards, foreign tax issues, payment, and foreign currency exchange.

This fast-paced international contract management course is an introduction to global sourcing and international contracting, designed to alert you to the many issues involved when working in the international arena.
