MSI Global Feelgood Index Blog
Check back here every quarter for the findings of our
Global Feelgood Index. Our survey will
provide an insight into the 'Feelgood Factor' that businesses are
(or are not) experiencing around the world.
Polling MSI member firms, their clients and other business
contacts in over 100 countries worldwide, the questions cover seven
key areas of business. The answers will be collated and then
weighted to reflect the size of the different economies in the
responding countries, before being analysed by
Joe Nellis, Professor of International Management Economics at
Cranfield School of Management, one of the UK's leading Business
Schools.
