なにをやっているのか
As the research and analysis division of the Economist Group, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) helps leaders prepare for opportunity, empowering them to act with confidence when making strategic decisions. The EIU is the global standard in providing quality, actionable intelligence to the public and private sector, assessing issues that impact the marketplace for over two hundred countries.
The Economist Corporate Network (ECN) is the briefing and networking service of the Economist Group. Through our members-only C-suite forums we help international firms understand the political, economic and business environments of the high-growth markets where they operate. We work with them to assess risks, opportunities, trends and issues of importance and how to respond to them.
The service is delivered in many ways:
•Through a programme of meetings that create the opportunity to hear from Economist Group experts, from invited outside experts, and from peers within the network;
•Through private briefings delivered to clients at their management and strategy meetings;
•Through summary reports and data (covering key economies and business issues).
