Borderless Business: Small Businesses Will Drive the Next Wave of Globalization
· Almost half of US small businesses will be involved in global trade by 2018. Small businesses will more readily take advantage of the global market place in their businesses.

· Social networks will fuel borderless commerce. Online social networks will mute soft trade barriers, such as languages and cultural differences, and facilitate cross-border trade, particularly among immigrants.

· Globalization will increase small business diversity, particularly those businesses established by immigrant entrepreneurs, will help increase cross border trade and unlock opportunities for all small business owners.
