When it comes to global opportunities, NYSE CEOs cite the established markets of the U.S., Japan and Western Europe as offering the most promise for growth in the next five years. But they also appear bullish on developing markets: 62 percent describe emerging markets as an opportunity, not a threat (1 percent). At the same time, 55 percent describe the current global trade environment as unfavorable.
NYSE CEOs are relatively split in their desire to move some of their operations offshore. Almost half have no plans to move any part of their businesses outside their home country, yet 53 percent say they’ve either completed the move offshore, are moving operations or plan to do so. Those who have rate the outcome favorably; nearly a third say they’ve been very successful. One percent failed to achieve their goals.
On Globalization:
■ Emerging markets pose an opportunity (62 percent) rather than

moving or plan to move some operations offshore (53 percent);
more than three of five (64 percent) with offshore operations
