-Identifying market opportunities worldwide and pursuing them by establishing the necessary presence in all key markets

-Converting global presence into global competitive advantage by identifying and developing the opportunities for value creation that global presence offers

-Cultivating a global mindset by viewing cultural and geographic diversity as an opportunity, not just a challenge

-Leveraging the rise of emerging markets especially China and India to transform the company's growth prospects, global cost structure, and pace of innovation
