Octavio Ibarra, president of CLADEA (LatAm board of business schools) will speak at the forthcoming Matins ESADE talk entitled: ''Crucial factors for long-lasting success in the LatAm market''.
Latin America is moving towards increased commercial integration as a mechanism to boost its economic growth but the region still has high levels of poverty and inequality and faces major challenges in its business development and competitive edge. In this respect, it is important for companies interested in these markets to contemplate new business models and ways of implementing their strategies in line with business ecosystem of Latin America.
