The graphic titles are fairly straight-forward in explaining the consumer market development economic issue. However, I do want to make note of a few references within the Business Process Summary comparisons. The summary total for each process stage is a non-weighted, non-adjusted average of the industry example companies. Europe's Resource Conversion and Distribution column averages would both reflect above 10% adjusting for the negative profit performance industry examples.
A generalized comparison of performance differences among the regions could include the social policy preferences in Europe and the United States; Latin America profitability compared to Human Capital Development; and Asian growth led by China's increasing competitiveness (at this time, mostly government controlled industries) adding to Japan and S. Korea's development history relationship with the United States.
