PwC's Barometer Surveys take a quarterly look at the business climate from three perspectives:
The Management Barometer interviews approximately 150 top US executives from large, publicly-held companies in a cross-section of industries.
The Trendsetter Barometer speaks with more than 400 CEOs of privately-held businesses recognized for their sustained, rapid growth. These are truly companies with extraordinary potential. Half are technology-based.
The Manufacturing Barometer interviews approximately 75 senior executives of large, US-based industrial manufacturing businesses. Survey findings benchmark the sector's economic outlook to that of the broader marketplace.
The Consumer Products Barometer is a quarterly survey of executives in large, US-based consumer products businesses.
Each survey captures participants' views on the direction of the economy, their company's revenue growth trend, plans for major new investments, plans to add new workers, barriers to future growth, and much more. In addition, each quarter new management issues are reported upon, in depth.
