The risk of a double dip recession is steadily rising as countries observe a slower growth rate and global markets continue to swing wildly. Last week, major media outlets were buzzing with headlines about a double dip as well as the approach of Hurricane Irene. Unsure which of the two looming disasters was worse, readers were left fretting, feeling vulnerable and apprehensive about the future. Growing concerns about a possible double dip recession is putting immense pressure on decision makers and corporate leaders to take prompt and accurate measures to ensure a continued recovery.
