Because of the downturn, our employees are having a tough time," he says. "They Inspired by a McKinsey & Co. Over the course of his long career, Peter Drucker headlined countless conferences and huddled with untold groups of executives — corporate chiefs, nonprofit leaders, and government officials who hung on his every word. But he would have been the first to question whether any of these gatherings amounted to much in the end. "One

Can We Break the Tyranny of Quarterly Results?
But this concern is not supported by a 2006 McKinsey study of 1,200 companies, which compared companies projecting quarterly earnings to those that did not. Several companies have stopped making quarterly projections just before they went into an earnings downturn. If we want corporate America to avoid short-termism, we need to help free portfolio managers and company executives from the tyranny of quarterly results. Since I work in the investment management industry as the Chairman of MFS Investment Management, I am particularly aware of the pressures to take a short-term perspective

New research from McKinsey & Co. McKinsey also reports that presently, about 80% of China's wealthy are between the ages of 18 and 45 (versus 30% in the US). Ruder Finn Asia recently partnered with Albatross Global Solutions in developing the 2009 China Luxury Forecast , which found that, in Greater China as a whole, more than half (50.3%) of respondents claim they will not let the global economic downturn affect their purchase of luxury goods.

The well regarded McKinsey & Company predicted last year that advertising will actually have fairly significant growth challenges for the next five years from high demand and lack of maturity in the management of online advertising through traditional outlets. It's the first work day of the new year and I thought I'd take some time to offer up my predictions for what will happen on the leading edge of the Internet this year.

Prepare Your People for the Upturn
That is a conclusion of the latest McKinsey Quarterly survey of economic conditions. And just as companies regularly plan for the next downturn, that is, be watchful of spending and debt load, the same applies to the upside of the cycle. From experience in last downturns, I recall speaking with clients who said those who kept their jobs actually enjoyed the lessened work load. Maybe we have hit bottom. While 75% of executives surveyed worldwide - 90% of those "in the Eurozone" -- believe that their national economies are still in decline, "expectations, though gloomy, don't
