Harvey Shoemack published!
Kudos to Harvey Shoemack, a founding member of the Global Business program. Harvey has recently co-authored a college textbook, Essentials of Exporting and Importing: U.S.Trade Policies, Procedures and Practices. The book is particularly timely as President Obama's National Export Initiative called for doubling American exports over the next five years to support two million jobs in the U.S.
