RSM Global Business Forecast

This inaugural edition of RSM Global Business Forecast, Middle Enterprises in the World Economy, addresses the challenges and opportunities facing mid-sized companies in the age of globalization.

The first objective of the report is to evaluate the impact on middle enterprises of changes in the global business environment.

The second objective is to deliver actionable recommendations to mid-tier companies navigating shifts in the global competitive environment. The report explores the international business experiences of middle enterprises in five regions (Africa/Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America/Caribbean, and North America) covering a wide range of manufacturing, service, and primary industries.

RSM Global Business Forecast differs from other international business reports in two ways. First, the report focuses exclusively on mid-sized companies, whose growing visibility in the global economy has been widely neglected in the international business literature. Second, unlike conventional enterprise surveys the report draws on the views of RSM professionals fully dedicated to serving globally active mid-sized businesses.

We believe that this approach creates a unique perspective on the middle enterprise sector, and that the findings and recommendations of the report will prove highly valuable to mid-tier companies pursuing profitable growth in the world economy.
