MODE SHIFT: CEOs are “gradually switching from survival mode to growth mode” now that the worst of the global financial crisis is behind them, a survey found Tuesday.
UPBEAT OUTLOOK: Accounting and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, which conducted the survey, said the shift could lead to more investment, growth and jobs.
NOT SO EASY: In its annual report at the start of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, PwC found, however, that generating growth is “getting increasingly complicated” as the global economy finds its footing. The next big challenge will be the cost and complexity of dealing with a thicket of new regulations that have sprung up since the crisis, PwC says.
