Europe was divided into eight broad zones, comprising individual countries like Germany, France, and Italy, or groupings of smaller countries such as Benelux and the Nordic area. The survey then calculated the share of revenue earned by each company in the zone in which it is headquartered (or “home base”), the rest of Europe, and the rest of the world.
这项研究把欧洲分成了8大区域，囊括了德国、法国、意大利等国家或卢比荷关税同盟及北欧区域联盟等小型国家集团。调查接下来计算了总部设在区域之内、欧洲其他国家和世界其他国家的各公司所挣得的收入份额。如果能找到相关资料，我们也对员工的可比分布进行了研究。
