Suppose that your business or organization has obtained a reliable growth forecast of the U.S. and local economies for calendar year 2013. Nature of my Business: I run an Automotive Paint Store that sells paint to the Independent Body Shops and the Car Dealership Body Shops. Please keep in mind that the economy is not growing at 4%

(B) Suppose instead that the forecast is that the U.S. and local economies will contract by 2% in 2013. What should your business or organization do in the next three months to prepare for that contraction?
