        Create a global think tank dedicated to both the science and the art of business valuation. Cognizant of the fact that business valuation differs in various economies and geographical regions, and that it is dependent on factors such as the size and purpose of the business, mobilizing the efforts of professionals in the discipline to research and validate the use of emerging valuation tools and techniques in a myriad of contexts is important. This requires a multi-faceted approach by research groups from a cross-section of countries. In phase 3, the Center will spearhead research efforts and also provide the means for remote collaboration<\/span><\/p>\n
