About the GE Global Innovation Barometer

Now in its fourth edition and spanning across 26 countries,

the GE Global Innovation Barometer is an international opinion

survey of senior business executives, all actively engaged in

the management of their firm’s innovation strategy.

The survey is conducted by Edelman Berland a consulting and

research company on behalf of GE. The Barometer explores

how the perception of innovation is changing in a complex,

globalized environment.

It examines the way business executives around the world

appreciate the framework for Innovation their country has

developed, it also details the perspective from business on the

most efficient policies to support Innovation.

Finally it adopts a firm centric approach to better understand

the way international businesses adapt their innovation

practices and strategies in a challenging economic

environment.
