What's keeping corporate development officers (CDOs) up at night? webmaster@ey.com (Ernst & Young) Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:15:18 -0400 In today's changing deal environment, the role of a corporate development officer (CDO) is rife with challenges. CDOs face enormous pressure to maximize their corporations' strategic advantage in the market while facing a dynamic transaction landscape. Factors such as the weak dollar, the credit crunch, the slowdown in mega private equity activity and a volatile stock market are affecting their bidding strategies.
