The current downturn may prove more brutal than most previous recessions. It's already hammering companies in markets around the globe. It will test businesses to their fullest-many won't survive.
But downturns present strategic opportunities, too. In fact, many more companies achieve dramatic gains during recessions than in normal times.
How to ensure your company emerges successful? In Winning in Turbulence, a new volume in the Memo to the CEO series, Bain & Company downturn strategist Darrell Rigby provides the playbook. He presents a powerful framework and diagnostic tool (available in the book and online) for assessing three dimensions of your situation:
- Your industry's sensitivity: How hard is it hit by this downturn?
- Your company's strategic position: Are you an industry leader or follower?
- Your firm's financial position, including cash reserves.
The author then explains how to craft an action plan tailored to the situation you've diagnosed, providing tools for:
- Cutting costs intelligently-sustaining your margins and brand
- Boosting revenue by refocusing your sales force on the right customers
- Channeling resources into your core businesses
- Preparing for bold moves, such as game-changing acquisitions
Timely and practical, this book positions you to survive a downturn and emerge stronger once the recovery begins.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
