That's true across all business sectors. There are certainly some positive indicators and reports
coming out of more markets than just a few months ago. The bottom line success stories are with companies that are doing two
things pretty well. They are finally reorienting the measurements they use to profitability, as illustrated in the case study
by Bruce Merrifield. After a few years of spinning its wheels while trying to increase its return on net assets across a lot
of branches, this company finally took a different tack and started to get some promising results.
At the same time,
never has basic blocking and tackling been so important as all of our readers report how closely they are watching costs,
while trying to build back some business with the customer base. The impact of the last few years won't fade quickly even
if we do get a strong bounce sometime this year. So many companies had to change structurally with a very different focus
than just a few years ago. This is really the rebuilding year where we will see some strong industry leaders emerge. And increasingly,
the niche opportunities for regional players ﾖ not the megalogistics ﾖ seem brighter this year than in the past few years.
