Intense marketplace competition, shareholder demands for improved value and a new regulatory environment are among the daunting challenges facing senior executives today.

Strategic business decisions need to be made—decisions that enhance the way your business is structured and the way you operate globally. These decisions are especially important in the context of new competitive and regulatory pressures.

In this environment, it is imperative that companies understand the dynamics that influence their pretax profits, the associated risks and the value of all of their tangible and intangible assets. Only in this way can they identify where the greatest value resides in their organizations, how it might be managed more effectively through global earnings mobility and, therefore, how it can lead to a reduction in the company’s tax burden.
