What's in store for 2009 2008 was a good year for almost all the automation suppliers. We're already hearing worries about 2009. Schneider Electric cut its growth forecast to 5%. ABB expects a down year and intimated at cost cuts. From what I hear in the hallways, a few advertisers to AW are cautious--while others see the opportunity to go for market share gains. So, are you listening to TV and other main stream media and going into panicsville? Or are you just watching carefully? Or do you see downturns as an opportunity? (AW was started in a down cycle, but not this down.) 5:03:31 PM    comment []
