0857 - ACCG Global Commerce & Georgia's Targeted Industries

The world is shrinking!  Georgia counties can no longer live and work independently in their own little piece of the world in today’s global economy. In this specialty course, Global Commerce and Georgia’s Targeted Industries, participants will consider what global commerce is and how it affects counties and the state, the roles of commissioners and resources available to them in developing strategies to advance their counties, and how local economic development efforts relate to- and connect with global commerce.  Through class discussions, case studies, and presentations, participants will review global economic trends, imports and exports, strategic industries, and global activity already underway in Georgia. Global Commerce and Georgia’s Targeted Industries is one of eight specialty courses in the Economic and Community Development specialty track.
