Roleplay – A Business Traveller

The importance of business and social networks in generating trade is becoming increasingly recognized in the international economics literature. An important way in which people build and maintain networks is through face-to-face meetings. Business travel helps to overcome informational asymmetries in international trade, generating international sales in the form of new export relationships. Business travelers love sharing tips and tricks for surviving life on the road. As a business traveler, very little is worse than being stuck in an endless security line at an airport. But there are ways to survive: make sure you and your luggage is prepped to go through screening, keep your technology to a minimum and try to get an upgrade so you can at least avoid part of the hassle.
