What is a Global Road Warrior?

In my mind, a Global Road Warrior must look something like its cousin the American Gladiator, complete with nutty name, superhuman muscles, and, naturally, a sparkly spandex unitard.

Global Road Warrior is also the name of a new electronic resource here at the Drexel University Libraries. It’s hard to get past the name, but if you do, you’ll find some excellent and interesting information.

Created by the analysts and researchers at World Trade Press, Global Road Warrior contains detailed international trade and business travel information for 175 countries. It works well as a companion to CountryWatch. Global Road Warrior has a little more hands-on information, but it’s a little lighter on the economic indicators. For each country, Global Road Warrior provides detailed information on topics including business and societal culture, security briefings, information specifically for businesswomen, and essential terms. It’s an easy-to-use, must-see resource for international business and travel.
