Competitive Alternatives 2010

The KPMG/MMK Consulting study Competitive Alternatives 2010 compares business competitiveness for more than 100 cities in 10 countries: Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. For 2010, the study expands its coverage of large international business centres, adding a number of major global cities for the first time. International results now reflect business costs in each country's major metropolitan regions. The primary focus is international business costs. The study measures the combined impact of 26 significant cost components that are most likely to vary by location, as applied to 17 different business operations over 10 years.
