鈥淲e are excited to partner with 小黄片视频鈥檚 College of Business Administration and Global Management Center in promoting international trade by locating a U.S. Export Assistance Center within the College of Business Administration,鈥 Hiser says. 鈥淓xporting is paying off for many Ohio businesses that continue to 鈥榤ake locally and sell globally.鈥 Ninety-five percent of the world鈥檚 consumers reside outside of the United States.
