CoreNet Global State of the Industry Report Examines Corporate Real Estate in a Redefined World

The report, released today to 7,000 CoreNet Global members worldwide, captures many of the diverse, assorted, wide-ranging, often-conflicting and extensive factors shaping tomorrow's global business landscape.

Globally, the scales have tipped in favor of Asia. "The global shift of business-attention toward the big, emerging markets in Asia is a huge factor," Glatte stressed.

The CoreNet Global 2012 State of the Industry Report as well underscores how corporate real estate executives hold sway over key business drivers like talent, research, productivity, speed to market and sustainability.

The economy

Largely due to the economy, "What started out in the 2009 recession as a real estate strategy has quickly become an overall business strategy," the report relates.

Parts of the new report are based on predictions coming from CoreNet Global's Corporate Real Estate 2020 transformational technology initiative. CRE executives from several hundred major companies globally are contributing their visions to this forward-facing body of work for what business and the workplace will be like by the year 2020.
