Risks and MitigantsExpansion of New Products
Risks Mitigants
Commodity Market Slump Hurts Process Automation
Rockwell primarily operates in US; developing countries have room for
long-term automotive growth
Foreign Auto Industry Declines in the Short-Term
Discrete manufacturing set to grow; Discrete/process package provides platform
for future growth
Process Automation Products Underperform
Commodity market is cyclical; market share gain offsets near-term losses
