One World Forward, Inc.

We are newly founding global business consortium (2005) with our members' origins including China, Canada, Sweden, and Norway. The starting point of our global venture has begun in the capitol of Shandong, the city of Springs, Jinan. The establishment and development of our organization is presently in the exciting moments of new beginnings and fresh horizons. Please, feel free to quench your curiosity and read a bit about us:

Company Brief and Mission Statement
The key concept in the notion of a "village" is that all of the people who make up a village know each other well. They know each other's histories, inclinations, quirks and foibles. They don't always agree with each other, but they get along, live together and help each other to make a good life. With the unionization of Europe, and the multicultural nature of countries such as Canada, it is true that the west is finally beginning to get to know their neighbours, but their neighbours have been having some trouble getting to know them. If this trend continues our "Global Village", when it finally arrives, will end up divided against itself - with a right side of the tracks and a wrong side. It seems to be in everybody's best interest to avoid this striation if possible, and to make sure our village is healthy, whole, and allows all of its villagers to prosper.

We are sure this has been noted before, but the one human enterprise truly suited for mid-wifing the global community is business. This is an area of human endeavor that concerns itself entirely with things such as communication, building connections between people, and filling the needs of those people. While true globalization is contrary to the best interests of the existing national governments, it is entirely in the best interests of the business world.

This being the case, it is time for a company whose business is focused on bringing about true globalization, in order to truly benefit all of this planet's villagers.

Our Mission: To provide the tools, ways and means for a truly borderless business environment, and to thereby bring about true cultural sharing and understanding of all cultures to all people: To create one world.

Initial Ventures (summary)
1. Market Research
A. Raison d'etre
Before a company is willing to invest resources in developing in a new direction, they need to feel secure in that direction. The availability if timely and accurate market information can have the effect of turning blind stumbling in the dark into a pleasant stroll through the park on a sunny day. A company without information that attempts to enter new markets is almost certainly doomed to failure. A company that has good information can proceed with confidence that they can only succeed. The Market Research branch of the company will aim at providing this information to businesses so that they may proceed with confidence.

B. Test Cases
When providing information that businesses will depend on, it is not merely important that the information be accurate, but also that the source be trustworthy, and that it be seen to be trustworthy. To this end, we will be using our own market research in starting and building a number of smaller business ventures. We can then point to these successes as evidence of the reliability of our research.
