September 2009: Positioning for the Upturn
Gone are the days when growth, often in the double digits, constituted business as usual in Alberta. During the current economic downturn, many companies have had to make quick, tough decisions and sacrifices in order to survive. This year’s Venture 100 survey reveals the pressures facing companies and how they are responding. But it also reveals that, for some companies, the downturn has offered a tremendous opportunity to gain a competitive advantage. Some are using this period of tumult to get buy-in not only for rapid, effective cost reduction but also for the necessary restructuring to focus on strategic priorities that will position them for future success.
For the eighth year in a row, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has undertaken an analysis of the Venture 100. What follows is a look at some of the pressures that have faced Albertan companies in the past year and how they have coped, from an anemic credit market to emissions regulations. Those that have seized this down cycle are now poised to be the first to leap forward when the upturn arrives. See the 2009 rankings by clicking on any of the individual lists below.
