Tracking Trends in the High Tech Industry


UPS 2012 Change in the (Supply) Chain Survey

The pace of innovation is exciting--and unrelenting. Change seems constant, and sometimes you need to hit "pause" in order to really see where you are and where you're headed.

That's why we take time each year to talk to high-tech manufacturing decision-makers, discussing their priorities and their plans for the future. Now in its third year, our 2012 "Change in the (Supply) Chain" survey--a collaborative effort with our partner, IDC Manufacturing Insights--focuses on import/export, asking these senior-level executives directly about the nation's ability to meet 2014 export goals.

Industry Executives More Optimistic About High Tech Exports

When we started this conversation back in 2010, the recession had taken its toll. So when we questioned executives about export growth opportunities, their responses were muted. But optimism is building, and the industry is focusing on growing markets around the globe.
