To assist in interpreting the performance summary, the patterned logic is: (1) Business process stage identifier; (2) industry category descriptions; (3) regional performances; and then (4) performance relationship to summary averages. Remember, some included companies did not publicly report financial performance and regional industry performance reviews should include the region's Development Metric [GDP+wages/earnings distributions].
*Adjusting for the represented company's negative performance for Europe in the Resource Conversion and Distribution stages, the regional performances would respectively be approximately 10.1% and 10.5%.
