This 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, 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 the researchers to
trace hangover effects 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, what kinds of institutional
changes have they induced?; and, finally, do recessionary pressures
stimulate innovative activity?
