Vistage International hosts a membership of 14,000 CEO’s company Presidents, Business Owners and Senior Executives. Each quarter we survey them to garner their take on the economy, their plans for hiring and capital spendign, and expansion, and their general confidence that that things will improve, or not. Rather than expecting renewed economic downturn, the majority of CEO’s surveyed anticipated a stagnating economy–growth too slow to support robust gains in employment or investment, along with lower revenue and profits.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS
