The Zombie Economy leading in times of uncertainty

"The companies which continue to prosper in a zombie economy will be those which act now to reposition.” MARK THOMAS, PA STRATEGY AND MARKETING EXPERT AND AUTHOR OF ‘THE ZOMBIE ECONOMY'

Home Boardroom challenges The zombie economy: leading in times of uncertainty
 

Understanding the challenges and opportunities of the zombie economy

Most major economies have now emerged from recession, yet it does not feel like a recovery. The effects of the crisis are still being felt in four major sectors: banks, governments, companies and consumers. While, superficially, these groups may be returning to normal, they have in fact lost their ability to function and have become half-dead, half-alive ‘zombies’.  

‘The zombie economy’, written by PA's Mark Thomas, discusses the effect of these zombies on the economy and the challenges that they present. It outlines some challenging actions that business leaders need to take to survive in this new world.

The zombies created by the crisis will have an effect across the whole corporate landscape. As a result, we will see many losers but some big winners.

The winners will be those who understand the challenges and opportunities presented by the zombie economy, and take advantage of:

  1. competitors failing to secure market share

  2. changes in consumer buying behaviours, to create a more competitive business model

  3. the volatility in asset prices to acquire at the right time

To thrive in this recovery that feels like a recession organisations need to take action now to emerge as winners in the zombie economy.

Basing his thesis on the idea that the four pillars of economic activity - banks, governments, companies and consumers - are zombies, Mark Thomas argues that the economy itself is something of a walking corpse.
