In this timely report, a number of chief executive officers talk
frankly about how they've managed to increase profits and improve
market shares for their companies without government intervention
even in the face of economic hard times and foreign competition.
Drawn from companies in both well-established and fast-growing
non-traditional industries, these success stories represent a broad
range of experience and expertise. In addition, Rosabeth Moss
Kanter and Alan M. Kantrow offer their own perspectives on
corporate success. "How to Compete Beyond the 1980S" clearly shows
that, through the increased imagination and efforts of individual
corporations and institutions, America's lagging productivity can
be revived.
The question of why some companies succeed while others languish
prompted the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to sponsor the March
1983 conference on Growth Industries in the 1980s from which this
book was derived. Experts from key industries addressed the
question at a time when recession caused bankruptcy in many
businesses. Paradoxically, many small companies, primarily in high
technology areas, grew dynamically and added 15 million jobs to the
nation's economy. This book, presenting the current thinking of
highly regarded contributors, offers insights into how this nation
can encourage the growth of companies and industries that will
restore our competitive advantage.
Interstate banking, which has been the subject of increasingly
heated debate, seems to be arriving at a faster pace than
previously imagined. Recognizing the burgeoning interest in this
controversial subject, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta invited
a blue-ribbon panel of financial industry experts, regulatory
authorities, and analysts to participate in a forum that addressed
the potential economic impact of interstate banking on both the
banking system and the public and also explored alternative
strategies for large and small banks for dealing with these
challenges. Participants close to the situation summarized recent
developments, assessed their implications, and discussed strategies
that smaller institutions can adopt to assure that they won't be
trampled by huge competitors.
