商界展望2012:營收改善,就業乏力
????大部分接受《財富》雜志(Fortune)調查的公司高管和企業家們預計,2012年他們所在公司的營收將出現增長,其中又有超過半數預計最大的增長將來自美國和加拿大。 ????約78%的受訪者表示,相信2012年他們所在企業的營收將出現增長;73%的受訪者認為,今年他們所處行業的總體營收將增長。2011年12月底,《財富》雜志邀請曾參加其重大現場活動和網絡虛擬會議的商界高管回答有關2012年前景的問題;這些重大現場活動包括環保頭腦風暴大會(Brainstorm Green)、科技頭腦風暴大會(Brainstorm Tech)和《財富》最具影響力女性峰會(Fortune MPW Summit)。 ????在預計2012年公司營收將增長的受訪者中,大部分(51%)預計美國/加拿大將是增長最快的地區,超過1/5的人認為是亞洲,只有4%的人認為是歐洲。 ????雖然受訪者對于企業營收增長前景普遍樂觀,但一談到創造就業機會就顯得有點謹慎了。只有約46%的受訪者表示,他們所在公司將增加人手,另外48%的受訪者預計公司員工人數將保持穩定,只有6%的人預計所在公司將裁員。 ????有近7/10的受訪者認為,要迅速推動就業崗位的創造,必須有政府的支持:近半數人認為,需要提供政府-企業培訓合作項目,超過1/3的人期望獲得稅收抵免,22%的人認為,由政府補貼的員工培訓項目將有助于推動創造就業崗位。 ????誰會主導這些的項目?米特?羅姆尼是目前獲得共和黨內總統候選人提名呼聲最高的(59%的受訪者對他表示認同),但大部分的受訪者(63%)預計巴拉克?奧巴馬將贏得連任,繼續執掌白宮。 |
????A majority of executives and entrepreneurs surveyed by Fortune predict their companies' revenues will increase in 2012, and more than half of those who expect growth anticipate that the biggest gains will come in the U.S. and Canada. ????Some 78% of respondents say they believe their corporations will see revenue growth in 2012, and 73% believe their overall industry will see revenue rise this year. Fortune at the end of December invited attendees of its major live events -- Brainstorm Green, Brainstorm Tech, and the Fortune MPW Summit -- and those who participated via an online virtual conference -- to respond to questions about their outlook for 2012. ????Among those who expect revenue gains in the new year, the majority -- 51% -- say the U.S./Canada is the region that will deliver the fastest growth. More than a fifth of respondents say Asia will be their fastest-growing region. Only 4% cited Europe as a fast-growth territory. ????Despite their general optimism about revenue growth, the survey respondents are somewhat more cautious when it comes to job creation. Some 46% say their companies will add employees, while another 48% expect employment to hold steady at their firms. Only 6% believe their corporations will cut jobs. ????Nearly 7 in 10 respondents say they think government intervention is necessary to jump-start job creation: Nearly half say public-private training partnerships are needed, and more than a third are looking for tax credits and 22% think that government-backed employee training programs will help spur job creation. ????Who would preside over such programs? Mitt Romney is considered the most likely to win the Republican presidential nomination (59% of respondents gave him the nod) but the majority of respondents, 63%, predict President Barack Obama will hold on to the White House. |
