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.
