2010 McGladrey Fifth Annual Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution Survey Results Seminar The 5th Annual McGladrey Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution National Survey provides a panoramic view of the industry. The 1,061 executive respondents report that after several years of deterioration, business conditions are showing clear signs of improvement. But their optimism is tempered and the recovery remains fragile. Even though economic conditions are improving, the recovery will not be straight and smooth. The survey provides an understanding of how manufacturers and distributors are recovering from the recession. Best practices of how companies are balancing the renewed optimism about the future with reservations about the current situation are highlighted throughout the survey report.
