The Baruch Business Report offers a conversation between John Elliott, the Dean of Baruch's Zicklin School of Business, and Terrence Martell, Saxe professor of Finance and International Business in Baruch's Zicklin School of Business. The discussion provides an overview of the results of the first quarter 2010 'Chief Financial Officers Outlook Survey,' which is conducted quarterly by Financial Executives International and Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business.

Their overview indicates that though most CFOs agree that recovery is on its way, the turnaround is happening very slowly and rising costs are further drawing out the pace. The topics of credit, health care reform, and stock market changes are also addressed in regard to their affect on economic recovery.
