Topic
While risk continues to dominate the business agenda, competition is becoming just as dominant a feature. Market volatility, pricing pressure, variations in market performance, demanding stakeholders — all have contributed to a global economy that encourages competitive drive, and with that drive comes opportunity. Based on recent Ernst & Young global research, Colm will explore the global top 10 business risks and opportunities emerging from the Ernst & Young study. The research is based on a "bottom-up" approach, gathering opinions from leading industry-based and academic commentators, across seven global sector groups.
