Beyond High Tech Survival

Beyond High Tech Survival —
Turning Government Policy Into International Profits
by Cliff Jernigan

Overview

We are in troubling waters. Many of the economic trends are disturbing. Perhaps as many as one-third of our companies will not survive the next five years. Companies will need to be nimble.

Your company may have leading edge research and development capability, the lowest manufacturing costs, an insatiable market demand, and the best marketing and sales team in your industry, and yet unforeseen government policies could slash your sales and take your bottom line from black to red.

What are the major government policies facing U.S. corporations today? How can we use government policy to help our survival? More importantly, how can we turn government policy into international profits?

This edition of Beyond High Tech Survival was undertaken to help the business community (primarily company management) get a better handle on the major public policy issues impacting the sales, cash flow and profits of their companies. This book is meant to be your survival guide as you come upon government policies that may mean opportunities or disaster.
