Orange County

Internet, Anyone? Bouncing new ideas and products over the Net is fast becoming a principal pursuit of executives in Orange County, according to UC Irvine’s annual management survey. Almost two-thirds of the 300 companies surveyed said they have access to the Internet, and 40% already do business through the global network. The full survey will show executives’ attitudes about international trade, the state of the economy, hiring trends and other business topics. It is scheduled to be released at a breakfast briefing at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Irvine Barclay Theatre on the UCI campus.
