Private Business Barometer III

PricewaterhouseCoopers

The third edition of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Private Business Barometer has been released to the market. The Barometer has become a regular, authoritative fixture on the calendar of private business owners, senior executives, analysts, media and government policy makers.

To bring the Barometer to the market we collaborate with East & Partners, a leading specialist market research firm. Detailed interviews are conducted with 750 private businesses nationally with an annual turnover of between A$10m – A$100 million.

If you would like to find out more about these issues and their potential impact on your business, please call Gregory Will on 02 8266 3344.

To download a copy of the Barometer or to listen to an audiocast about the findings, please visit www.pwc.com/au/pcs.

Meetings should be about getting things done – not wasting time in traffic or sitting frustrated on the end of a phone trying to picture a crucial document.

With GoToMeeting Corporate, you and your meeting participants get the benefit of sharing your computer screens, rather than just having a standard phone meeting or conference call.

You can point out important parts of a presentation, make changes to somebody else’s document or walk everyone through a difficult issue as if you were all in the same room.
