North Texas CEO Survey: Too Much Uncertainty

But the 2011 SMU Cox respondents remain bullish on Dallas-Fort Worth.

For the fifth year, SMU Cox School of Business has surveyed area business leaders about their economic outlook for the coming 12 months. The results appear in the December issue of DCEO magazine.

Although CEOs were pessimistic about the world economy, responses about the local economy continue to reflect optimism. Invitations to participate in the annual SMU Cox CEO Sentiment Survey™ were sent to a comprehensive list of DFW-area CEOs, presidents and business owners, with 436 respondents completing the survey.

As part of the survey, participants were asked to nominate their choice for "CEO of the Year" - the top CEO/president currently serving in DFW, based on organizational and DFW community impact. Mark Cuban, owner and CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, was named CEO of the Year. This comes just months after the Mavericks won their first NBA title in 31 seasons.
