On June 22, 2009, RSM McGladrey released its fourth annual Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution National Survey report

More than 920 executives responded to questions on current business conditions, growth strategies, innovation, cost management, technology initiatives, operations, and globalization. It is no surprise that respondents report poor business conditions, but those conditions vary considerably among the industry segments represented in the survey sample. And companies taking advantage of certain strategies are faring better than their peers.

  • How are companies with global business activities faring through the recession?
  • How has the recession affected inflation concerns?
  • When do MWD executives expect a recovery?
  • What strategy offering immediate bottom-line benefits do half of MWD companies continue to overlook?
  • Is green the new black for companies looking to get out of the red?
