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 in the "Next step the world" series and "Innovative Australian Businesses Go Global", produced by Austrade, as well as business seminars and interviews. New clips will be added as they are developed. |
