ADVISORY/Experts Available To Discuss U.S. Companies and Globalization Efforts.Business Editors ADVISORY... TOPIC: Many companies who once rushed to expand to other countries are now pulling back, according to an article by USATODAY.com. Experts say when the economy takes a downturn, companies react by cutting foreign operations first. U.S. companies are dropping new foreign investments, which can have a negative effect on those countries that rely on U.S. expansion, the article says. Telecom, technology, energy companies and financial services are among the industries that are selling assets and trimming efforts.
