Doing Business In India: Building Customer Loyalty

In an article that appeared in the January, 2009, issue of Outlook, Accenture's Journal of High Performance Business, Armen Ovanessoff and Anish Gupta discuss how to secure customer loyalty in a strange and culturally diverse environment.

Elusive Advantage

In a multi-polar world, where product features and price advantages can be quickly replicated, a company’s best source of sustainable competitive advantage—the essence of high performance—may be the quality of the customer experience it can deliver. But how can outsiders develop the customer intimacy that informs this experience and secures customer loyalty in a huge land of multiple markets, more than 18 different languages, 1,600 dialects and a patchwork of diverse climates, local regulations, customs and cultures that are held together—precariously—by a severely strained rail network and poorly maintained roads?

The answer, as more and more global companies are discovering, is to become an insider. At its most basic, this means recognizing Indian sensibilities and learning to respect and accommodate them.

Doing Business In Asia: Japan: Taxes

Japan: Revisions To Transfer Pricing Regulations Shed Light On Documentation Requirements

An International Tax Alert Report, published by Ernst and Young, regarding the tax changes to transfer pricing in Japan, adopted in April, 2010.

Overview


Following the 22 December 2009 outline of the 2010 tax reform proposal,
Japan’s Ministry of Finance released a revision to the Special Taxation
Measures Law Enforcement Regulation on 31 March 2010. This revision to
the regulation is effective 1 April 2010 and provides the legal framework
for the documentation items that taxpayers are expected to provide to the
tax authorities in a transfer pricing examination.

The document, for the first time, clarifies what types of documents must
be submitted in a timely manner, under audit to avoid the potential
application of “presumptive taxation.” Presumptive taxation refers to a
case where the tax examiners are authorized (due to the taxpayer’s failure
to submit requested data without delay) to conduct their own transfer
pricing analysis, possibly based on secret comparables, and to use this
analysis in computing a tax assessment. Secret comparables are are non-
public transactional data on prices and profit margins of unrelated parties
for use in calculating potential transfer pricing assessments.

Doing Business In The Americas: Real Estate

More Rough Times Ahead As Weakening Economy Impacts Real Estate Sector

A Special report by Raymond Wong, Executive Director, Americas Research Operations, regarding doing business in the Americas, as it appeared in CB Richard Ellis, in February, 2009.

Article Summary

In the U. S., real estate markets ended 2008 with a thud. Virtually all sectors experienced increases in available space and softening asking rents, while property sales activity stalled, as both buyers and sellers entrenched their negotiating positions. In Canada, market fundamentals are starting to show weakness, underscored by a slight increase in sublease space in the office market. Vacancy and availability rates are up in almost every asset class. Across Latin America, market fundamentals, for the most part, remained stable, but a prolonged economic slowdown will drive vacancy rates higher.
