Past growth for most Canadian businesses were in some way tied to the United States. Today these traditional growth models lay in ruin. It was all to easy to just look south for our growth. In fact we were blinded by this ease and now we are miles behind other nations when it comes to building growth models from other markets. Today China represents the best growth opportunity for many Canadian organizations.
