When executives were asked when they believed the global economy would recover, most (53%) believed it would recover in early to mid 2010. These leaders were similarly pessimistic about the current outlook of the global gaming industry, with a majority (52%) indicating that they foresaw a "very poor" or "poor" performance for this industry in 2009.
Globalysis partner Jeff Voyles summarized the study: "These findings are intriguing, and reveal that executives are now responding dynamically to unprecedented shifts in global attitudes and reduced consumption. At the same time, there is cause for optimism, as most executives surveyed see a recovery in 2010."
