The recent slowdown had hit many industries around the globe, the biggest of marketing ideas and business development strategies and plans have flopped in the recessionary times, which have hit international markets. How much ever we may think, the recent slow down was bad for everybody in the industry, it has proved beneficial for small industries worldwide. The downturn has taught industrial biggies the true value of money, the technological developments may advance, but money remains at the same place in all its shining glory. The recession has brought lots of benefits to small and medium scale industries who were just waiting for the right opportunity to strike and there is no better time than this one where the IT firms in the US and Europe are crawling back to their usual business and looking for business opportunities in developing Asian countries and it’s a win-win situation for both the countries, the developing countries are eyeing the emerging opportunities in recession hit developed countries and they are all geared up to give them the best services as the clients demand.

Recession has been more of a hit nature, because it gave good lessons to developed as well as developing nations to prepare themselves and get geared at this time of crisis. New avenues and businesses have emerged in the areas like outsourcing, healthcare, engineering, retail, defense, aerospace applications and more. As noted by Aroop Roy, the senior research analyst at Gartner, according to him the outsourcing projects are picking up and the global delivery model is surely going to bring in lots of offshore projects especially for smaller companies. The smaller companies have got a larger share of benefits due to downturn because they adjust easily and the investments are low end there is no big money involved.

The recession have seen speedy recovery especially in developing economies as there was nothing much to loose, in fact it gave them great business opportunities to make maximum use of the slowdown happening in the developed economies due to the work outsourced to them. The western bigger companies are looking for clients and partner in smaller companies to leverage their work process and increase their profit share by working with developing nations where the dollar exchange rate is low. The westernized companies have become more conservative by bringing down their work rates thus creating a bigger space for small and medium scale enterprises to deliver quality work at lower costs. It benefits all the parties involved in the process thus bringing harmony to the business processes locally and internationally. Recession is not after all that bad as one opportunity closes, another opens up and so does the cycle moves on and off its up to us to create right kind of business and utilize the resources.
