For a nation whose fastest growing resource is its human numbers, global business with digital methods is perhaps the most significant conjuction that fortune can give. This is not to say that tapping these resources will be easy. This country is in crisis and part of that crisis is in the education of its youth. Some number of these youth, however small, must be educated in digital methods so that the Republic can tap these vast global resources. These youth will then be empowered to work in this age of information.
Digital methods allow two very significant forms of global business to form.
The first is the world wide partnership. Using digital methods, collaborations on an undreamed of scale are possible. More modestly, smaller businesses here on th Marshall Islands can gain acess to larger markets, better sources of information, and many other things that are not quickly accessible or are completely unavailable locally. The second form of global buisness is the digital cottage industry. The skills, the culture, and the physical environment are a legacy of the Marshallese people that in various forms can be sold digitally to the rest of the world.
