The text examines how companies cope with the pressures which are
unleashed by recessions. It is based on a large scale survey
undertaken in the spring of 1993 which involved the participation
of more than 600 leading UK companies. The questionnaire data was
combined with a long enough time-series of data on the financial
performance of most of the companies to enable us to trace effects
left over from the recession in the early 1980s. The main issues
examined in the book are: what makes companies vulnerable to
recessionary pressures? How do companies typically respond to these
pressures? How have recessionary pressures been transmitted back
into labour markets and what kinds of institutional changes have
they induced? Finally, do recessionary pressures stimulate
innovative activity?
