We welcome suggestions for additions or corrections, as well as
feedback by executives and professional business advisors about working
with such organizations, or other aspects of setting up operations in
North America.

Examples would include "lessons learned", unexpected pitfalls or
benefits, useful information resources or services, etc. so that other
executives can take advaantage of the open sharing of timely market
knowledge and insights as they plan capital investment projects such as
to set up new, expanded, or relocated offices, factories, or
distribution operations.

We also welcome private feedback about such experience as appropriate.
