Grant Thornton's International Business Report (IBR)
The Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR) is the world’s leading mid-market business survey. Launched in 1992, IBR provides deep analysis and insight into the views and expectations of around 15,000 business leaders globally.
The research runs quarterly, interviewing senior executives within mid-market organisations across 35 economies, from all industry sectors. Questionnaires are translated into local languages and fieldwork is undertaken through a mixed methodology, including online and telephone platforms.
The reports, article, charts, infographics and videos developed from the research, along with the insights and experiences of our global thought leaders, help bring the data story to life. This enables us to match what’s top of mind in the mid-market with compelling talking points, international perspectives, and new ideas that can each contribute to your organisation’s agenda.
