Greetings!
            
                
                From the day we are born, we are measured by our 
growth.  And, still today our personal 
accomplishments, business profits, industries and 
even the economy as a whole are dependant on 
growth.  Those that excel can be termed "growth 
leaders". 
Read a synopsis of a recent study that looked at 
mid-level managers 
who achieved above-average growth in established 
organizations and markets.
                
            
                
                A great way to keep tabs on the growth of the 
manufacturing industry and the many companies that 
comprise it is to attend trade shows.  One of 
the 
largest of course, is the IMTS, just weeks away.  
Whether or not you plan on attending, you can 
get a glimpse
of what to expect from this year's event from some of 
our industry's growth leaders, including Cimatron's 
Bill Gibbs.
                
            
                
                To achieve growth, it is important to keep a watchful 
eye on the economic conditions of different market 
segments.  One global market experiencing 
significant growth is that of personal 
computers.  
See how the growth in this market affects
North American mold makers.
                
            
                
                 
Oceaneering is an example of a 
company that has experienced tremendous (and 
interesting!) growth.  With its fearless approach to new 
challenges, they have had the opportunity to do 
business in some places you might just recognize.
                
            
                
                Enjoy the issue,
