METHODOLOGY AND PARTICIPANT PROFILE<br />
In November of 2014, Harvard Business Review Analytic Services conducted a web-based survey of 316 executives<br />
among the HBR.org audience. The global study included respondents from North America (30%), Asia/Pacific<br />
(36%), EMEA (24%), and Latin America (8%). More than half (55%) of respondents were C-suite and senior<br />
management, slightly more than one-quarter (28%) were managers, and less than one-fifth (17%) were from<br />
other grades. Half of respondents (49%) were from large organizations with 5,000 or more employees, onequarter<br />
(25%) from organizations with 1,500–4,999 employees, and one-quarter (25%) from organizations with<br />
500–1,499 employees. Respondents in companies with fewer than 500 employees were screened out. A broad<br />
group of industries were represented, with 16% from healthcare/pharmaceuticals, 14% from manufacturing, 13%<br />
from technology/telecommunications, and 13% from financial services. Respondents from all other industries<br />
amounted to less than 7%. One-quarter of respondents (26%) work in the HR function, with one-quarter (24%)<br />
in general management/strategic planning, one-fifth (20%) in marketing/sales/business development/customer<br />
service, and 8% each in finance, operations/production, and IT/software engineering/knowledge management.<br />
Respondents from other areas added up to less than 6%.<br />
