Bump in the Road

Posted May 22, 2009 7:26 AM

After nearly a decade of almost constant economic growth, the past year has brought something of a revelation. What goes up must come down, and all that. Companies are cutting back on almost everything, and new-product introductions are being greeted less than enthusiastically, at best. Bailouts, bankruptcies, and unlikely mergers have dominated the headlines. What short-term changes have you made in the last year to minimize the immediate impact on your company? How will those decisions affect your long-term prospects? What long-term changes have you made? How well do you think they will work? As the economy recovers, how will your company look different from a year ago?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Engineering Management, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Engineering Management today.
