Some interesting news from a weekly e-mail feed I get from Corporate Executive Board:
Despite unrest in the Middle East and rising oil prices pressuring world markets, a survey of more than 400 senior executives in finance, sales, supply chain, IT, and HR shows that the world's business decision makers are cautiously optimistic about prospects for 2011. Revenue at many companies is back to prerecession levels, which suggests companies may start adding equipment, factories and, eventually, workers.
Let’s pretend that the United States is a corporation – with a negative $44 trillion net worth, rare profits, and huge off-balance sheet liabilities. The U.S. can fix its problems, but only with direct acknowledgment of its shortcomings and aggressive efforts to manage costs. To remain competitive against rivals, U.S.A. Inc. would do well investing in R&D, infrastructure, and education.
The education theme again. And we discussed rising gas prices at our mission trip meeting this evening. We Fischer’s are cautiously optimistic that the rent money will keep coming in…
