Pettit, Author of 'Strategic Corporate Finance,' Will Discuss Counterintuitive Trends in the Global Marketplace.
New York (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 -- Booz Allen Hamilton Vice President and author Justin Pettit will speak to attendees of The Wall Street Journal Deals & Deal Makers 2007 conference next week about counterintuitive trends in the global marketplace and how they can be leveraged for profit.
Pettit, author of the recently published "Strategic Corporate Finance: Applications in Valuation & Capital Structure" (Wiley, 2007), will provide context and insight into these trends, which were identified by teams of Booz Allen industry specialists across the globe. Pettit specializes in financial restructuring and shareholder value issues as well as the financial aspects of merger and restructuring events.
Some of the ideas he will discuss include:
- Energy prices rising not only because of higher commodity prices -- but a significant knowledge gap in the energy sector, driven by the retirement of the baby boom generation.
- R&D outsourcing growing rapidly in emerging markets such as China and India, capitalizing on proximity to manufacturing facilities and familiarity with local preferences.
- Software engineers poised to drive the next generation of manufactured goods, as more software is now embedded in some children's toys than the Apollo space capsule.
Pettit's presentation, titled "The Next Big Thing: 7 Ways For Dealmakers To Make Money Tomorrow," will be held at 12:15 p.m. on June 27 at The Wall Street Journal Deals & Deal Makers 2007 conference, located at the New York Stock Exchange.
