New structure for P&G, but the question now is where the regional direction will go

Although the announcement addresses structural issues within the company, serving to strengthen the portfolios and tap into various synergies that should help save costs, there is still the question of whether or not this restructuring addresses regional issues.

In the past the company has been criticized for being too US-focused, with the executive and management processes and decisions largely originating from the company’s headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
