Posted on September 24, 2011 - Filed Under Business | Leave a Comment

A global recession triggered by various causes is certainly bad news for all businesses in an increasingly global economy. From increasing oil prices, to chokes in credit lines for companies to do business, all these would spell trouble for world demand, directly impacting the bottom-line of companies.

However, overreacting to this situation or merely following the "order of practice of the industry" may handicap a company's future growth when demand recovers again. What companies should do is to take this opportunity of a downturn to re-invent themselves and consider how best to position themselves for global recovery when it happens.
