According to a newly released report by NYSE Euronext (NYX), 62%
of public companies and 71% of private firms are likely to expand
and add jobs in 2012 despite rising concerns over economic
uncertainty and political instability, regulatory and tax policies,
protectionism and international trade. The 2011 NYSE Euronext
Report represents the views of CEOs of publicly held companies and,
for the first time, CEOs of private or emerging companies including
private equity and venture-backed firms as well as MBA students,
dubbed “aspiring corporate leaders”.
The 2011 NYSE Euronext CEO Report, now in its 7th year, is an
expansive cross-generational survey that provides leadership
insights on the economy and growth, the workforce and job creation,
reputation and brand management, the CEO of the future, and social
media. Respondents include 317 CEOs of NYSE-listed companies from
more the 25 countries, 119 CEOs of emerging private companies in
the U.S., and more than 200 U.S-based MBA students. Global market
research firm ORC International conducted the survey on behalf of
NYSE Euronext. To view the results of the 2011 NYSE Euronext CEO
Report, go

“Businesses are expecting growth and are poised to innovate,
expand and create jobs,” said Duncan Niederauer, CEO, NYSE
Euronext. “They are guardedly optimistic toward the future and
understand that creating sustainable, long-term growth and jobs
will be driven largely by the private sector, especially small- and
medium-size enterprises. Weighing heavily on this leadership group
is economic and political uncertainty, taxes and trade, and trust
and confidence in our financial system.”
“The three generations of current and aspiring leaders
represented in the survey are bullish on growth while navigating
challenging economic, policy and regulatory obstacles,” said
Jeffrey Resnick, global managing director for ORC International.
“Despite experiential and generational differences, respondents
surprisingly share similar views on several topics including
concerns over protectionism and financial and political stability
as well as regulation, taxation and education. Their views diverge
when it comes to doing business in the future, particularly on the
impact of social media and innovation.”

The Economy and Growth
A large majority of respondents rate the global economy as
“fair” to “poor,” with emerging-company CEOs (96%) the most
downbeat versus 85% of public company CEOs and 75% of MBAs. Most
CEOs expect their companies to grow through 2012, including 30% of
public company CEOs and 45% of emerging-company CEOs who anticipate
significant growth.
- With respect to spending, public
companies are budgeting for larger increases for capital
expenditures, energy and regulatory compliance. Emerging companies
are increasing spending at above-average rates for R&D,
technology, marketing and PR and customer-relationship
management;
- CEOs are highly concerned about
protectionism in China, India and Brazil, while emerging-company
CEOs’ concern extend to South America and the Middle East;
- U.S. and Western Europe are the most
important regions strategically, followed by China;
- European CEOs are slightly less gloomy
about the economy in their countries despite recent financial
turmoil;
- Concerns over possible protectionism or
trade restrictions in China are the highest for any region,
followed by India and Brazil;
- The financial stability in Western
Europe and the U.S. remain significant issues; CEOs have growing
concerns about the political stability in the Middle East, followed
by Mexico, and with the political stability of the U.S. and Western
Europe;
- Emerging-company CEOs have greater
worries about the political stability of India, China and Brazil,
possibly reflecting the nature of their business processes;
- The corporate tax structure in the U.S.
and Western Europe are potential impediments to growth, with those
regions rated the most unfavorable in terms of overall corporate
tax structure through the next three years;
- 60% of CEOs say the U.S. has the most
unfavorable corporate tax environment, worse across any region
tested;
- By more than a 4-1 margin, CEOs believe
the corporate tax environment in Western Europe will be unfavorable
rather than favorable during the next three years;
- CEOs and MBAs see merger and
acquisition activity as exceptional or good through 2012.
Workforce and Job Creation
Despite overall negative views on current economic conditions,
most CEOs are planning to add to their company’s workforce through
2012, with emerging companies expecting significant increases in
employment. Most of the new jobs will be in corporate home markets,
including the U.S. and Europe. Surprisingly, despite stubbornly
high unemployment levels in the U.S., three in four CEOs are having
difficulty in finding qualified candidates and a majority rate the
U.S. education system far worse than non-U.S. CEOs of their own
education systems.
- 62% of listed-company CEOs and 71% of
those from emerging companies plan to add to the company’s
workforce;
- The percentage of public-company CEOs
who expect new hiring in 2012 increased by 17 points over last
year;
- Just 8% of CEOs of public companies
intend to reduce their workforce, while 28% will maintain current
employment levels;
- Emerging companies are doing the most
hiring in sales and marketing while public companies are hiring
more in sales and IT;
- The large majority of MBAs believe
capital markets are extremely or very important to job creation
globally;
- Despite high unemployment, about 3 in 4
companies are having difficulty finding qualified talent.
- CEOs of public companies are generally
satisfied with their company’s level of innovation (22% of those
surveyed said they were very satisfied), and emerging-company CEOs
are even more satisfied (44% very satisfied);
- MBAs are much more open to
non-traditional ways of spurring innovation, including social media
and crowd sourcing.
- Less than half of CEOs believe the U.S.
education system does an excellent or good job providing students
with required skills for the workforce of tomorrow;
- Fewer than 1 in 4 give the U.S.
education system passing grades for preparing students to be
financially literate;
- Two-thirds of listed CEOs and nearly
half of emerging-company CEOs are investing in a private-public
educational partnership or would consider doing so.
Social Media
Most CEOs and MBA students agree that social media will have a
profound impact on how companies do business in the future,
although CEOs of emerging companies and MBAs are more convinced of
this than well-established companies. Most executives supplement
digital fact-finding with peer conversations and reading print
publications, while emerging-company CEOs and MBAs are more likely
to access business blogs, twitter streams and TV. Virtually all see
social media as an effective mechanism for customer relationship
management.
- Eight in 10 public company CEOs single
out websites a common source of business information — 89% of
emerging-company CEOs and 83% of MBAs agree;
- Just 13% of public companies and 29% of
emerging companies have social media strategies in place;
- Only 31% of public companies are
actively using social media, although most agree that budgets for
social media are expected to increase;
- The most active users of social media
are technology and information services companies, with the least
active users being energy, utility, manufacturing, construction and
mining companies;
- Perhaps reflecting generational and
experiential biases, nearly 1 in 4 CEOs at public companies prefer
to access business information in printed form compared to 1 in 10
MBAs;
- Most CEOs and MBAs think social media
will have a major impact on how companies do business in the
future, although CEOs of emerging companies and MBAs are more
convinced of this than are CEOs at public companies.
CEOs of the Future
CEOs of public companies believe that international experience,
strategic vision and external communication skills will be more
important to the successful future corporate leaders. CEOs at
emerging companies also place a deep understanding of technology
and its application, strong customer relationship skills and strong
marketing acumen in their top skill set. When asked to choose the
one skill that will be the most important in the future, CEOs pick
strategic vision, while the results among MBAs are much more
fragmented in their views.
- 51% of public company CEOs and 44% of
emerging-company CEOs view strategic vision as the most important
success skill for future leaders;
- 66% of emerging-company CEOs and 47% of
public company CEOs cite a deep understanding of technology and its
application as a vital characteristic.
Reputation and Brand Management
Nearly all CEOs view reputation management as a key component of
their overall enterprise risk management program. Most respondents
from emerging companies, and more than a third of public company
CEOs and MBAs, say trust in public businesses is declining.
- Trust in corporations, both public and
private, is decreasing significantly;
- While fewer MBAs than CEOs think
corporate trust is on the decline, most MBAs say CEOs are not doing
enough to protect the reputation of their companies;
- Four times as many U.S. CEOs than those
outside the U.S. believe corporate trust on the decline;
- Virtually all CEOs consider managing
their company’s reputation as part of their overall enterprise risk
management strategy;
- Over the past five years, the
percentage who think CEOs protect their corporate reputations has
declined from 84% to 63%, with the steepest decline occurring in
the past year;
- While nearly two-thirds of CEOs at
public companies think CEOs take as much action as they should to
protect the reputation of their companies while more than half of
emerging-company CEOs and MBAs think CEOs do not;
- CEOs aren’t overly satisfied with the
returns on their brand investments, with just 26 percent of public
company CEOs and 23 percent of emerging-company CEOs saying the
brand’s ROI has met expectations;
- Nearly 50% of public company CEOs
indicate that corporate social responsibility is a mandate.
