KPMG has a new site that gives comparative information on the cost of doing business internationally. Competitive Alternatives compares business costs in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. This report measures the combined impact of 27 cost components that are most likely to vary by location (such as labor, facility, transportation, utility costs and taxes), as applied to specific industries and business operations.
According to the site, the eight-month research program covered 128 cities in nine countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. More than 2,000 individual business scenarios were examined, analyzing more than 30,000 items of data. The study covers 17 industry operations (including electronics, medical devices, telecommunications, software design, web develeopment and call centers).
