A Recession is a Terrible Thing to Waste
20 positive prescriptions for 2009.
Lay-offs. Cost-cutting. Product closures. The headlines are full of the casualties of the current economic climate, and not just for the publishing industry. With print continuing to slide and softness creeping into digital and events, it’s bleak out there.
But not for everyone. If you just wait for the storm to pass now, you’ll be behind the curve in the better times ahead. FOLIO: polled 20 publishing executives from a variety of markets and company sizes not just on where they can save but where they are investing and what opportunities they see for growth.
