2010 State of Manufacturing - Focus Groups
Over two weeks in January 2010, Public Opinion Strategies (POS) of Alexandria, Va. conducted 500 phone interviews to ask manufacturing executives about how they are surviving and investing in their companies during these challenging times, and their outlook for 2010. We augmented this with focus groups-this year we conducted 13-in which participants discuss the same issues, only in this way we provide more subjective background on why they think the way they do.
Editor's note: Due to a technological failure, the transcript from the Eveleth focus group does not appear in our final report. We apologize to the participants.
