2009 was a very interesting year as the economic turmoil inevitably reshaped the way that many companies run themselves. Now that we’re more than halfway through 2010, all signs are indicating continued improvement.

Likewise, organizations that didn’t fare so well may be looking for a safe harbor in the form of a more well run business to acquire them.
Upon reflection of what we’ve been through, organizations should be contemplating what the future economy will look like and how they organize their current business for optimal growth and survival. Part of these strategies may entail either strategically selling off certain business segments or buying new ones in order to further market share or innovation.
