Streamed video and audio clips
Austrade video and audio clips illustrate a range of key exporting and international business topics, grouped under broad headings. These are most suitable for students investigating international business issues and opportunities in the global marketplace. More detailed information is available from specialised areas of the Austrade site, including www.austrade.gov.au/HowtoExport and www.austrade.gov.au/industrycountry.
These short clips (less than 6 minutes) have been selected from longer Australian business case study documentaries produced by Austrade, as well as business seminars and interviews. New clips will be added as they are developed.

Austrade International Business Plan Competition 2010
The 2010 International Business Plan Competition for individual students and teams enrolled at a tertiary institution in Australia is open from February to 15 October.
The competition enables tertiary students to plan the elements required for an Australian business to sell its products or services overseas. Entrants may select one of three streams, reflecting differing stages of growth for an Australian-based business:
- International business concept – a new business idea that is not yet operating.
- New to international business – an existing business that is not yet selling overseas
- Expanding markets – business is currently doing business overseas and plans to expand into another market that has sales opportunities for the product or service.
International business plans should consider elements such as business capability, market research, market entry strategy, marketing strategy and international business administration.
Lecturers are encouraged to include the competition in their assessment programs. The rules and entry form (55KB) provides an outline of the competition.
Also available is a market research file (116KB) to help students select overseas markets based on real demographic, cultural and commercial information. This market research file contains advice and useful links to data, articles and agencies related to our trading partners.
The winning individual or team will receive $2,000. The opportunity to attend the National Export Awards Presentation and Gala Dinner in November will be presented to the national individual winner (or the designated representative in a team entry).
The 2009 National International Business Plan Competition winners were teams from RMIT Business.

Austrade Short Film Competition
Austrade has developed a short film competition to encourage staff and post graduate students in international marketing, business and management faculties to work with film production students in creative arts faculties to develop short videos that are useful teaching resources.
The inaugural Austrade Short Film Competition is open to higher education film production students and young film producers to create an entertaining, but informative short film that highlights the opportunities and issues for Australians in doing international business. Films in 2009/2010 should focus on one of the following aspects of trade and investment:
- Cross cultural communication skills required for a specific market or region
- Product adaptation to market taste, laws or culture for a specific market or region
- Market entry using an investment strategy, such as joint venture, merger or acquisition
- Managing staff in off-shore locations
- Corporate and social responsibility in business.
Film production students are urged to create an entertaining, but informative short film by 28 May 2010 that highlights issues for Australians doing international business. Students should seek advice on suitable content and message from a business studies, marketing or management lecturer or post-graduate student. See the rules and entry form for more information.
Prizes will be awarded to the entry judged best in each state and territory.
-
National – $2,000 for the winning entry, links to film industry professionals and an award presentation event for winning entrants and lecturer (if the competition is a course requirement).
-
State and territory – $500 for the winning entry from each state or territory.
In addition to the prize, short-listed films will receive national exposure as their films will be streamed from the Austrade website and provided to university lecturers and export advisors in a DVD publication.
