| In this edition you will find the following articles: 'Power to the mid-market': It would have passed you by – a small survey in the energy sector conducted in one of the more remote parts of the UK. Obscure it may be, but The Aberdeen City and Shire Export Survey 2010 is a microcosm highlighting the potential for small to medium-sized companies (SMEs) to develop specialist skills that are now prized internationally…'Exports drive China’s superpower status': Gone are the days when foreign companies operating from China predominated in its export market.

In this issue: 'Japan set for bounce-back': If anyone needed a reminder that we were living in a global marketplace, the economic shockwaves from Japan’s earthquake and tsunami were quickly evident around the world…'Next big thing’ in emerging markets?': Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa. What do they have in common? According to economists, the CIVETS – as this collection of countries are called – are the 'next big thing' for investors in emerging markets.

So are CIVETS worthy of investment?...'How SMEs go international': When one of the biggest operators in the European sea produce market started trading in the early 1960s it was run by one entrepreneur who bought fresh fish on the dockside at Avilés, Spain, and sold it in nearby coastal towns and villages, using a three-wheeler van which he had adapted for the purpose.

In this issue: 'Africa: now a business case, no longer a hand-out case': Only some countries in the African continent are enjoying economic growth from investment.

They argue Sub-Saharan Africa is in a similar position to Brazil 20 years ago. An International Monetary Fund (IMF) report points to Africa’s ‘virtuous circle’ of factors that feed off each other: exports and imports up; banks unfreezing lending; inflation low; private finance growing again; governance improving; and conflicts decreasing… 'Dispute resolution just got easier': Faced with the prospect of expensive legal representation and open-season publicity from public court battles – not to mention the risk of losing and costs being awarded – more companies are turning to arbitration and mediation in a bid to resolve disputes. Just about any type of dispute can be settled through arbitration, including contract disputes involving competitors or consumers; intellectual property disputes; employment and labour claims; real estate issues; and civil matters. Yet there are disadvantages… 'Renewable energy: where yesteryear meets tomorrow': Whatever the potential, the US solar power industry still lags behind that of other smaller nations.
