2 About the research About the research KPMG International commissioned the Economist Intelligence Unit to write <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>purchasing</strong>: Next steps for the procurement profession. The report is based on the following research activities: • The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a global survey of almost 600 senior executives. Nine out of ten of those executives have a direct influence on procurement decisions in their companies, while the rest were executives who used the procurement function’s services. • Fifty percent of respondents were procurement or supply chain professionals, but the survey also included a range of other decision makers including CEOs, CFOs and COOs. • The survey reached a crosssection of industries. Over half (58 percent) of companies surveyed had annual revenues of over $1 billion. • All the content in this report was written by the Economist Intelligence Unit, with the exception of the Foreword, KPMG comment and KPMG final thoughts sections.
