To purchase Berkshire Hathaway-b stocks do I contact them directly? If so does anyone have contact details?
Answers: You shouldn't have to contact the company directly as they are a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol BRK-A.
Contact your brokerage firm (E*trade, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Merril Lynch, etc) or the securities arm of your bank and place an order. To do so, you'll have to open and maintain a securities account; many of which you can open online and use within several days...this will vary between firms.
Furthermore, Zecco offers 'commission fee' trades. Most firms will charge you a flat fee ($10-$40 depending on your relationship) but Zecco (who is new to the game) waives this fee for certain accounts; may be worth looking into.
Also, for full disclosure, BRK-A closed at $143,980/share today; up over 3.06%.
Hope this helps!
Berkshire Hathaway is an unbelievably expensive stock: $143,980.00 per share at close today. They don't issue dividends and they don't split, so the price per share has just kept growing and growing. They only have 657 shares outstanding, but it is traded actively like anything else on the stock exchange.
Talk to an investment professional, either at your bank or at a brokerage house. You might be better off finding a mutual fund that invests in BRK-A rather than purchasing the stock directly. I doubt any mutual funds invest solely in that stock though, but I'm sure you can find some that include it in their portfolios.

How do you define global competitiveness ?
Answers: Global competitiveness, to me, has two aspects.
1) You may be viewing the world as potential clients of yours. Maybe you sell via the web and ship. To be globally competitive, you're competing against other companies that are local in other countries. Why will someone from that company buy from you unless you're offering some advantage?
2) It also refers to companies that are trying to use outsourcing to other countries to lower costs and, therefore, give them a cost advantage over other competitors in the same market they're in.
