It's not a bad thing but its similar to what kidphilly mentioned about IKEA and SAP and their North American HQs being there but I can only give credit if the main HQ is in Dallas but its in Canada.

With that being the case, Dallas has no problems with its cos, it's one of the best cities in the world for powerful high market capitalized cos. Truly a beast IMO.

Credit is given to where brands are based and SAP is based in Germany, saying otherwise or insisting otherwise is dishonest.

I think you misread my post

And no, I do Pharmaceutical marketing and management consulting, prior life was brand marketing/management in Pharma and prior to that marketing analytics and prior to that finance and financial analytics.

Rochester NY has Kodak (thought it has seen better days) and Bausch & Lomb with world headquarters. Xerox was started here and still has more of its employees and its R&D here even though it is technically headquartered in Connecticut.
