Text A EBay and the Rise of Micro-Multinationals
Small international businesses are flourishing on the back of new technology, and becoming more multinational than much larger international corporations.
Wandering through the airports of the world, weary travellers may well have noticed the regular HSBC ads forecasting the business trends of our changing world. One of the advertising series, echoed in a well-aired TV commercial, depicts that North American staple: the kids’ lemonade stand. This stand, however, is unlike the normal run-of-the-mill one: it seems the young entrepreneur behind it accepts three major currencies, not just the local one. As the tagline argues, “In the future, even the smallest business will be multinational.”
While HSBC is clearly trying to show itself as a forward-looking, visionary bank, the reality is that, in one instance at least, such a future is already upon us. That is because new communication and web-enabled technologies are already bringing the world to the virtual lemonade stands of the smallest entrepreneurs.
These small and micro-enterprises are able to complement their traditionally locally-focused retail skills with the latest technologies, allowing them to access global markets with much lower entry barriers. Not only are they able to accept several currencies, but they can effectively pitch their lemonade stand anywhere a willing consumer is located and become a trusted exporter.
