We also ask the question: Are sovereign wealth funds a threat or capital-raising opportunity for US companies? And we present a lively conversation between former President George H.W. Bush and PwC US chairman and senior partner Dennis Nally. Plus: outsourcing, shareholder activism, bridging IT and medicine, the global tax picture, IFRS, and more.
