Introduction
To Bartering
Millions
of entrepreneurial business owners, giant multinational corporation, and
even governments are routinely involved in bartering efforts. They
do so for one reason�it's
profitable!
Barter,
in its many forms, is one of the world's fastest growing ways of doing
business. The degree of sophistication certainly varies widely among
these groups, as you will see when you compare the three levels of barter
we report on.
One emerging
force in today's business world is a growing movement we refer to as
the commercial barter industry. It encompasses about 600,000
companies involved worldwide that barter their products and services
through trade exchanges and corporate barter companies.
