	Making American Companies More Competitive
		Companies should not be required to pretend some of their interest costs are incurred overseas, a policy that results in higher tax burdens.
		Companies should not be required to engage in complicated calculations that limit their ability to avoid being double-taxed on foreign-source income.
		American companies no longer would need to include foreign revenues and expenses in their U.S. tax return, which requires immense amounts of paperwork and complex calculations of foreign tax credits and the resulting U.S. tax.

	Executive Summary: Making American Companies More Competitive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Companies should not be required to engage in complicated calculations that limit their ability to avoid double taxation.
		Companies should be allowed to benefit fully from their foreign tax credits to minimize the adverse impact of worldwide taxation.
		Most companies that have rechartered in jurisdictions with better tax law presumably would have remained U.S. companies if America had a territorial tax system, but they were not willing to sacrifice the interests of their workers and shareholders just for the "privilege" of enduring worldwide taxation.

	American Revised Version (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		These criticisms of the American Companies were duly considered by the English Companies during the second revision and the decisions were again sent to America for criticism.
		The replies received were once more given consideration and, finally, the unadopted readings for which the American Companies professed deliberate preference were printed as appendices to the two Testaments as published in 1881 and 1885.
		No American Standard Revised Version Apocrypha was attempted, a particularly unfortunate fact, as the necessity for the study of the Apocrypha has become imperative and the English Revised Version Apocrypha is not a particularly good piece of work.

	American Companies and Net Censorship - Time for a Solution
		American companies recognize this, and accept it, and in so doing place their existence in China at the whim of officials for whom an arbitrary decision serves as due process.
		Anticipating, disclosing, and mitigating the risks of being in the Internet business in China is arguably part of a company's fiduciary duty, but equally important it forces a company to deal with the problems before they come up in a very open, public way.
		Companies need to make engagement and "doing good by doing well" a stated, clear, and measurable part of their operational plans.

	t r u t h o u t - American Companies Repatriate Massive Sums Earned Abroad
		The companies are taking advantage of an amendment voted in on the sly by Congress in 2004, as part of a law on the creation of American jobs.
		The law allows American companies to pay 5.25% taxes on profits repatriated to the United States instead of a theoretical 35%.
		Most of these companies have taken great care not to specify how they will use this money, contenting themselves with announcements that they will pay down their debt and invest.

	Boycott against American companies
		The first companies targeted were "Burger King", for opening a stand in a mall in Ma'ale Adumim, a settlement near Jerusalem, and "Walt Disney", for including Jerusalem as the capital of Israel among its new exhibits for the millennium in Epcot Center.
		Calls for the boycott of American companies are circulated through newspapers, leaflets distributed on the streets, SMS messages transmitted to mobile phone subscribers and pickets posted near targeted shops or branches.
		Its economic impact on American companies seems unimportant, and is limited to a small number of companies, and more specifically to products for which there are alternatives on the local markets (food and other consumer goods).

		American multinationals still account for about 25 percent of the gross domestic product and more than 20 percent of total employment.
		Reich is right that American corporations are expanding foreign operations and sucking imports into the United States, but wrong to conclude that American companies -- even truly multinational ones -- are losing their American identity.
		For the foreseeable future, the ability of the American economy to create good jobs for American workers will continue to depend on the competitiveness of American companies.

	Why American Tech Companies Betrayed Me, Not China (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		These were the companies of my generation. I had forgotten the core of greed and shallowness that lurked behind the technology industry's evangelical mask in the terrible years of 1999 and 2000, when we all piously awaited the digital Rapture.
		I had ridden one of those companies myself, a once promising venture in Singapore that crumbled from the inside as we succumbed to our own avarice and desperately pushed numbers around to please investment bankers with fast smiles and empty eyes.
		By this, I mean the noble American ideals that we casually throw around in conversation but which are so fiendishly tricky to nail down in practice: freedom, democracy, human rights.

	American Companies Show an Edge in Putting Information to Work - New York Times
		The same is true for computers: just as the early industrialists had to learn how to use manufacturing technology to optimize the flow of materials on the factory floor, companies today must learn how to use information technology to optimize the flow of information in their organizations.
		Furthermore, the authors suggest that information technology capital may be a big part of the productivity difference: American companies in Britain use a whopping 40 percent more information technology capital per worker than the average company.
		According to the authors, American companies are more likely than European companies to adopt practices like merit-based promotion and pay, lean manufacturing techniques, performance management and employee autonomy.

	American companies aid Chinese oppression - Roanoke.com
		As a congressional hearing last week made clear, it is a steep one: Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have allowed themselves to become complicit in government censorship and crackdowns on dissidents.
		Though companies have taken steps to ensure products they import from China aren't made by slave labor, there is no guarantee.
		American companies cross an unacceptable line when they essentially become agents of an authoritarian regime.

	The Becker-Posner Blog: Chinese Ownership of American Companies: A Problem? BECKER
		The American auto industry is more efficient (and much smaller) than in the past in part because they had to compete with cars made in the US by efficient Japanese and German auto manufacturers.
		American car owners are also getting much better cars at lower prices than they would have had without foreign-owned auto companies in the US.
		When a company based in a friendly nation buys US assets, it is a reasonable assumption that usual commercial behaviour would apply, profits would be maximized and effiencies would be applied.

	American, British Companies Making Most of the Internet
		Companies in the United States and Britain are the most likely to incorporate the Internet into activities such as CRM, marketing, order fulfillment and sales, according to a study by Taylor Nelson Sofres.
		Naturally, the survey suggests that American and British companies have developed a more comprehensive use of the Internet for a wider range of applications, and they've done this by investing more heavily in e-solutions in recent years.
		While companies within the United States and British markets are likely to have invested more in Internet applications in recent years, the study found that around two-thirds of companies in both the United States (63 percent) and Britain (66 percent) intended to decrease their Internet-related expenditure over the next year.

	Can Latin American companies survive globalization?
		Since the early 1990s, when countries in Latin America began to lower government protectionism and open their economies to foreign competition, many long-standing Latin American companies have either ceased operating or have been acquired by giant transnational corporations.
		Of the companies on Fortune Magazine's list of the largest 500 companies in the world, just five are from Latin America, and most of those are in the oil industry, Grosse said.
		In his research on some of the most successful existing Latin American companies, Grosse has identified two common strengths with companies that have allowed them to remain competitive: they are able to produce higher quality products and services than their competitors, and they have a better understanding of the channels of distribution.
