Competitive Alternatives
KPMG's guide to international business costs
2006 Edition
Competitive Alternatives represents KPMG's guide for comparing
business costs in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The 2006
study is the most thorough comparison of international business
costs ever undertaken by KPMG, and contains valuable information
for any company seeking cost advantage in locating their international
business operations.
The study is an expansion and update of previous KPMG publications,
and measures the combined impact of 27 significant business cost
components that are most likely to vary by location. The study covers
17 industry operations in nine industrialized countries: Canada,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United
Kingdom and the United States.
The basis for comparison is the after-tax cost of startup and operations,
over 10 years.
