Entrepost.com business plan

The development of Internet technology and its application in e-commerce business activities have resulted in a revolutionary impact on the traditional model of the cross-border trade activities. The forthcoming entry of China to World Trade Organization is going to present unprecedented opportunities between China and the United States, and eventually between China and the world. This thesis of Entrepost.Com Business Plan is intended to evaluate such unleashed opportunities and present a new business model that enables the small and medium sized manufacturing enterprises in China and the United States which have been largely excluded because of their lack of resources to overcome the various barriers in the process of cross-border transaction activities. The business model of Entrepost.Com provides a set of integrated solutions to its targeted customers in the selected industrial segment through its online manufacturing community services and offline total customer solutions. The values that Entrepost.Com proposes to its customers will be the incremental opportunities, and efficient and effective facilities for them to penetrate into foreign markets.
