"Navigating the Recession of 2009: Implications for
Transportation Revenue Management" - Dr. Chris Kuehl,
Managing Director - Armada Corporate Intelligence
Partner Solutions |
| |
The transportation sector is often referred to as the
economy's "canary in the coal mine." It is the first to
notice the decline and, in most cases, the first to see
a recovery start to develop. The recession of 2008-09
has been an odd one in many respects - provoked by a
collapse in the financial sector and spurred on by a
media determined to foment raw panic in the population.
What is the nature of this beast - really? How does it
actually compare to the ones in the past? Most
importantly, when do we get out of this mess? |
