What's keeping corporate development officers (CDOs) up at night?

Gaining competitive advantage in today's changing transactions market

Hosted by Ernst & Young Transaction Advisory Services

In today's changing deal environment, the role of a corporate development officer (CDO) is rife with challenges. CDOs face enormous pressure to maximize their corporations' strategic advantage in the market while facing a dynamic transaction landscape. Factors such as the weak dollar, the credit crunch, the slowdown in mega private equity activity and a volatile stock market are affecting their bidding strategies. Understanding the competition is crucial as the players are changing. Sovereign Wealth Funds, hedge funds and "emerging tigers" from cross-border activity all continue to be a challenge. In this atmosphere, how does a CDO gain competitive advantage to help drive corporate success?

Ernst & Young LLP invites you to join a live, interactive Thought Center Webcast on 25 June 2008 that will provide practical advice to help CDOs navigate in today's deal environment.
