Euromonitor’s business environment reports present key information about the most important aspects of doing business that companies need to plan their future business strategies. This includes the ease or difficulty of business procedures, infrastructure, issues with corruption and political stability, uptake and availability of technology, tax rates, the skills and quality of the labour force and many other aspects of doing business. With the rapidly changing face of the global business landscape, many emerging markets are making quick progress in increasing their attractiveness to investors, while some developed markets are failing to keep pace. The business environment reports will help you keep pace with these changes.
Euromonitor is pleased to announce the 2014 relaunch of the business environment briefings. There are 85 business environment reports published annually.
