IMPACT ANALYSIS
Issues Impacting Global Business
July - August 2009
Is the Margaret Thatcher-Ronald Reagan economic model of free market capitalism dead? Once the post-global recessionary dust settles, companies, as well as countries, will need to prepare for what lies ahead (p1-3).
As President Obama seeks to boost the U.S. economy and build stronger ties with our friends abroad, he could advance both goals at once by urging Congress to pass the pending U.S.-Colombia FTA (p4).
Small business is the backbone of the U.S. economy and key to our economic recovery. Adjustments of various export promotion programs will help small business have an even larger impact (p5-6).
The global economic crisis has not ruined the appetite for Chinese mergers and acquisitions. Companies are looking to their China operations to offset losses in other markets (p7-8).
