By Friday of the same week, further the conversations with at least 2 classmates on the discussion board.

I am going to bounce off of the TED Talk we watched. I looked up the top US export industries.

In 2017, the US Commerce Department reported that food, beverage, and feed with sales of $133 billion were the number one good exported, next being crude oil, fuel, other petroleum products at $109 billion. The third highest was civilian aircraft and aircraft engines at $99 billion.  

These definitely make sense with how often these goods are being brought back and forth globally and constantly. Cell phones are high on the list now too.

Sba.gov (Small Business Administration) has a page that explains the benefits of exporting, some being to get counseling and training on how to initiate this move, find international buyers by taking advantage of federal programs, and start an international trade loan. 

From what was said on the WebEx tonight, I think businesses do thrive and grow once they involved globally. Apple is a fine example of this with $331.1 billion in export sales in 2016. Amazon as well with their success with selling and buying from worldwide.

Speaking of buying globally... I rented my textbook for this class and it's shipped from the UK... it isn't here yet....
