There are many challenges facing home Internet enterprises in today's global market, as they adapt to changes in the global business environment and attempt to satisfy local market demands at the same time. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the barriers to entry to some of the countries marketplaces that existed in the past are now becoming non-existent. It is no wonder that many home Internet enterprise owners are struggling to learn the new rules, but you can look at these challenges as opportunities instead of problems.

For example, it is now possible to export your products to foreign countries without having to deal with the trade restrictions that were present previously. In addition, you could even set up a manufacturing facility in another country without opposition. This shows the free movement of goods and services for today's global home Internet enterprise. It is the smart modern business owner who puts emphasis on developing his or her brands. In line with this, you can see that brand packaging, graphics, and the content of a brand should remain the same throughout the world. (Text in different languages aside) The message must be the same, so if the brand is promoting wellness in North America then the home Internet enterprise owner will promote a similar concept in Europe. They should not stray from their core identity. Their advertising efforts should have some similarity, even though it will have to be changed to accommodate local preferences.

It becomes more difficult if the home Internet enterprise deals with a physical product rather than an informational one. Offering a global product that is consistent can be quite hard because of the sourcing of the raw materials and their pricing. At times, the exact same product will cost more in one country than it does in another, because of currency fluctuations and the differences in local living conditions. The challenge is keeping the product consistent both in quality and in price in these vastly different areas. This quality problem can be eliminated by centralizing your home Internet enterprises manufacturing, but there is little that can be done about global price variances.

It is important for modern home Internet enterprises to communicate with their partners from foreign countries. Every problem or success in one country should be reported everywhere, because this can affect the profitability of the entire enterprise. E-mail, video conferencing, and even telephone calls can be used to accomplish this goal. These tools will enable the owner to manage the whole Internet enterprise effectively from home.

The climate of today's global business environment dictates that it is important to have innovative products and services to stay ahead of the competition. Home Internet enterprises can improve their operations by observing the best practices employed in other countries and using them universally. Considering the perspectives of the maximum number of associates from around the globe will keep the companies thinking fresh, not stagnant, and will do the most to ensure the enterprises long term profitability.
