Three Points on the Agenda --DeWese

Many of these learned economists fail, however, to relate the economy to your companies. While I hate to see the weak economy's negative effects on many good people, I will tell you that your company's economy is important to you. I have seen side-by-side, neighboring printing companies with the same equipment perform very differently in this soft economy. One suffers greatly and lays off 30 percent of its workers. The other prospers and grows sales by 20 percent, while profiting 25 percent to 30 percent.
