FedEx fails to deliver on earnings. And that’s a bad sign for the global economy
A disappointing earnings report for the multinational courier delivery services company is especially worrisome for one key reason: It's widely seen as an early warning system for international commerce.
Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Dale Rogers explains why a disappointing earnings report for the multinational courier delivery services company is worrisome.
In this article published Sept. 18, 2019, in Fortune:
