Summary
A significant responsibility of a credit manager is to understand the use of the various payment terms in a competitive business environment.
A pro-active international manager involves other business units and individuals, such as those in sale management, not only in the process of “why” certain credit terms are determined for a buyer, but also “how” they are determined.
