Management for Design

Current business conditions What does 2013 look like for businesses? Growth, Contraction, Status Quo? Interestingly a majority of businesses expect to continue to grow revenue over the next one to two years but there is general consensus that we are in a stagnant economy. Is this misplaced optimism?

Key points from the recent Management for Design Business Conditions Survey include: There is cautious optimism that business conditions will improve (and not deteriorate!) Approximately 40% of respondents state that they will face difficult conditions The most pressing issues facing business are access to capital, the state of the economy and productivity – achieving more with less A majority of businesses expect to increase their investment in people and infrastructure Dissatisfaction with Local, State and Federal Government! Profit margins will remain steady How are businesses expecting to maintain profit margins, in a stagnant economy whilst at the same time increase their investment in people and infrastructure?
