About this product: No times are more difficult for the survival of a company than recessions. They are defining moments for managers. Yet there are few books on recession strategy out there. This book aims to fill that gap. This book is different. Recession-proofing articles talk about keeping your head down and focusing on costs and cashflow. We say you cannot cut your way to greatness: this is a book for managers who have a handle on their costs and ask what now? If you want to thrive you need to storm through recessions and downturns. That is why the book is called Recession Storming. Recession Storming covers 5 main areas: understanding the business environment, retaining existing customers, maintaining margins through pricing, moving ahead with new product-offerings, and winning new customers. There are over 100 strategies in this book, pulled from over eighty companies from some 5 economic recessions. Just one idea will repay the purchase price of the book many times over.

All businesses go through hardships, but their reaction can make the difference between survival and failure. Realistic but inspiring, this book covers: realizing there's a problem, focusing on what you do best: your core business, spending sensibly, being paid on time, cutting down on inefficiency, steadying the ship and maintaining staff morale, working at external relationships (the bank, customers, suppliers), working out survival tactics (and ways to stick to them), and not letting things slip.

From the author: We analyze the behavior of state revenues since the early 1950s to determine the severity of the revenue declines experienced by states after the 2001 recession. Both total state revenues for the nation and state-level data for each state are studied. We conclude that the states were indeed hit with an unprecedented downturn in revenues--unlike anything that had been experienced in the preceding half-century. Further and contrary to general perceptions, revenue increases in the years preceding the downturn were not particularly strong compared to revenue increases in the years leading up to previous recessions. We further conclude that most proposed budget rules dealing with either taxes, spending, or savings would have been insufficient to address the states' problems and that states will need major discretionary structural changes in state revenues and expenditures to return to fiscal balance.
