The recent financial and economic crisis has meant testing times for the resilience and flexibility of many companies. The most crucial corporate attribute in such times is the ability to bounce back, while at the same time learning from experience so as to be better prepared the next time around. In April 2010, Egon Zehnder International surveyed 836 top managers from across the globe, asking how they experienced the crisis. The findings paint a sober picture.
This was the eighth time that Egon Zehnder International had staged an online survey to question top leaders about current issues in corporate management. With the International Executive Panel, Egon Zehnder International has created an instrument that provides us with insights into the spectrum of opinions held by leading corporate decision-makers around the world. The high-caliber panel includes representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises as well as major corporate groups.
