PWC Study - Global Automotive Perspectives: Preparing to Compete

PricewaterhouseCoopers - Our latest issue of Global Automotive Perspectives provides timely points of view from our core lines of service that you can turn into concrete actions that can prepare your business to compete successfully in the new reality:

• Reporting 2009 annual results:  The global economic crisis and its consequences for automotive companies require clear and transparent communication of management strategy, risk exposure, and outlooks.
• Transfer pricing in a crisis:  Many automotive companies' transfer pricing rules were established during stable economic conditions. However, such processes might not be adequate in a volatile market. A review of current policies is not only worthwhile but wise.
• Simplifying the business model:  As companies in the automotive sector have grown and evolved over time, so has the underlying complexity of their business models. The new economic reality presents an opportunity to simplify the business model to improve competitiveness.
