ACG-SF: Global Opportunities Community--December Gathering December 9, 2010

GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES COMMUNITY GATHERING

When expanding overseas, whether to attract additional revenue or
reduce costs, companies are faced with a variety of
considerations including whether to drive their expansion via
organic means or through M&A or partnerships.

Join a Best Practices Discussion of these Drivers of
Globalization within Key Sectors of our Economy:

1) Manufacturing

2) Service Sector/ Technology

What makes a global manufacturing firm successful in growing
overseas revenue? In reducing costs by instating overseas production?

How do service firms / technology firms successfully acquire
overseas clients? How do these companies best cut costs and/or
retain a flexible cost structure with overseas offices?

Well discuss some very specific pros and cons of globalization
via organic means or through M&A or partnerships, by taking a
look at several real-life examples.

We look forward to seeing you there!
