You have brought up a very interesting point. There will always be obstacles when doing international business/projects. However, the difficulty of overcoming some will be harder than others. For example: Language could typify a high obstacle between the countries trying to get the project done, however nowadays a lot of people speak English, if not then in the market we can find very efficient translators. On the same way, the timing between countries might not help, but this can resolved by finding a middle point between all the different schedules. But the main obstacle to overcome would be the laws between countries. For example experimenting with certain animals in other countries is not allowed. But in other countries the rent for the facilities is very cheap. It all depends on what countries are the ones involved in the business. In overall, a good way minimize these obstacles would be to first study the country where you want to settle in and/or the country where the company you want to make business with has the facilities. If technical problems arise, as one of my classmates mentioned before, I would just follow the plan, do, act and check cycle.

Let me know what you think
