The Global Business Matrix was created by Marc A. Ross for Caracal Global to help multi-national organizations, nation-states, and global investors analyze market moving events shaped by public affairs, political events, and/or regulatory policies.

It is important to note these market moving events may have an immediate impact or financial result. However many of the topics could be issues, challenges or opportunities that will be years in the making. Regardless, items identified in the matrix are deemed to be market moving events that will create wealth for some or lose wealth for others.

Designed on a weekly basis, the Global Business Matrix serves seniors executives of multi-national organizations, diplomats of nation-states, and individual global investors seeking to ensure appropriate resources are allocated to maintain or expand marketing, investment, public affairs, government relations and management assets.
