UPS studying needs of smaller Latin America businesses

UPS studying needs of smaller Latin America businesses    UPS said Friday it is launching a study to better understand the business climate for small and medium-sized companies involved in the Latin America market.
   Atlanta-based UPS said the Latin America Business Monitor is the first-ever pan-regional study of Latin American “small and medium-sized enterprises,” or SMEs. The ongoing study will be issued annually, and is expected to identify emerging trends and examine topics specific to Latin America, such as political shifts and the projected impacts from trade with China and the rest of Asia, the integrated carrier said.
   “With this study and the insight it imparts, UPS hopes to provide another tool for executives in this sector to identify growth opportunities in a region that is without a doubt becoming one of the fastest growing and most active markets in the world,” said Stephen Flower, president of UPS Americas.
