Procter & Gamble:
Brands such as Crest, Pampers, and Tide have kept P&G relevant, economic crisis or no.
Prosper:
In late October, the SEC ordered Prosper, the leading peer-to-peer lending site, to suspend making new loans, claiming the company was selling unregistered securities. At press time, the company was in a "quiet period," waiting for the SEC to finish its review to establish a regulated secondary market for Prosper loans.
Real D:
The pioneer in digital 3-D cinema display continues to lock up deals with major theater chains as several studios release 3-D movies. This year will be a big test for 3-D's viability, with James Cameron's Avatar, DreamWorks Animation's Monsters vs. Aliens, and as many as 10 other high-profile releases.
RealNetworks:
After launching the Rhapsody MP3 store to take on iTunes, the company took on another giant -- Hollywood -- with a highly touted DVD-copying program called RealDVD. One problem: The studios sued, and for now the product is unavailable.
Samsung:
Its touch-screen mobile phones with fragrance names like Eternity and Instinct have sold relatively well. Outside of the phone biz, a new line of superslim, energy-efficient HDTVs has been met with raves.
Sun Microsystems:
The company is restructuring in hopes that a push in its cloud- storage business will offset the decreasing sales of its servers.
Target:
Recession-minded shoppers are flocking to Wal-Mart, which actually saw a bump in sales last year, but design-focused Target hasn't been able to pull off the same trick. Time for deep discounts?
Tata Group:
From violent protests delaying its much ballyhooed $2,500 People's Car to the terrorist attack on its prized Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel, 2008 was not the year of the elephant.
Tesco:
Worldwide, the British super-market giant has held up relatively well in tough times. Stateside, Tesco's aggressive rollout of the innovative Fresh & Easy brand has slowed after hitting 100 stores in November.
Timberland:
Sustainability-preaching CEO Jeff Swartz's heart has always been in the right place, but now he needs to get his company's identity (and sales) back on track after being abandoned by the hip-hop set.
Whole Foods:
Apparently, consumers think buying fresh organic sunchokes is a lower priority than, say, paying the rent.
