DAYTON, OHIO
Strategy and operations consulting in Dayton.
Southwest Ohio's aerospace research center, built around Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, with two large health systems, a Medicaid managed-care headquarters and a manufacturing base at the I-70 and I-75 crossroads.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Dayton.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, home to Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force Research Laboratory, is the region's largest single employer and supports a dense network of defense contractors and engineering firms. Health care is led by Premier Health and Kettering Health, CareSource, a nonprofit Medicaid managed-care organization, is headquartered downtown, and Reynolds and Reynolds sells dealership software from Kettering. Former GM and NCR operations have given way to manufacturers such as Fuyao Glass America in Moraine and to distribution centers near the interstates.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Dayton management teams.
Defense contractors here compete for cleared engineers and program managers, and their revenue depends on Air Force acquisition decisions and budget timing. Manufacturers face an older workforce and rising wages as distribution centers and auto suppliers recruit from the same pool. Health care and insurance employers must adjust to Medicaid policy changes that affect revenue and staffing.
