碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際經營管理碩士班(IMBA) === 96 === INTRODUCTION In September 2007 The Dominican Republic opened a Commercial Office in the State of New York to promote and strengthen the economy and trade links between the Dominican Republic and the United States. I had the opportunity to work in the Office mentioned for the past few months, and as one of the important lessons I learned from my experience in the IMBA, always search for ways to improve the performance of the organization I work for, I started analyzing how to get the best of this Office. That is why, I have prepared a proposal for the operation of the office for the following year; this proposal is aiming to achieve better results for the economy of the Dominican Republic. First of all, I will describe the history and current status of the Trade Office, followed by an analysis of the market, and then I proposed various strategies that can generate better results for the Dominican Republic. The following section is the finance section, which contains the operational budget needed to implement the strategies proposed. Finally, I analyzed and evaluated the risks involved with the operation of the Office in the New York market. I am positive the economy of the Dominican Republic can gain a lot from a Trade Office in New York, as long as it is well managed. With this paper I am taking the first step to return to my country what Taiwan has given me through the opportunity to study an IMBA with an Asian perspective. My goal is to make the Office a model for other Latin American countries in their search to strengthen the trade relations with the United States.
