    Understanding how Sydney features in the strategies, organisation and location decisions of multinational corporations is critical for governments, MNCs and resident firms alike.  

    Conducted by Enright Scott & Associates principal Michael Enright, this research will be informed by surveying a large number of MNCs operating in the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on identifying which activities are currently conducted in Australia, and what the opportunities and impediments are to attracting more high value, knowledge related activities.        

    The survey will be conducted from late April 2008, so if you wish to register your interest to participate, please contact Clint McGilvray on Clint.McGilvray@Abfoundation.com.au
