Meetings Around the World: The Impact of Collaboration on Business Performance

"Meetings Around the World" is a just-released global collaboration study conducted by Frost & Sullivan and sponsored by Verizon Business and the Microsoft Corporation. This study includes the first-of-its-kind Collaboration Index, which measures a company's ability to work together based on technologies, such as conferencing and instant messaging, as well as an organization's culture and processes that encourage teamwork. The study also found that collaboration is a key driver of overall performance of companies around the world. Its impact is twice as significant as a company's aggressiveness in pursuing new market opportunities ("Strategic Orientation") and five times as significant as the external market environment ("Market Turbulence").

The Meetings Around the World study surveyed over 900 information technology and line-of-business decision-makers from a cross section of 2,000 small-to-medium, mid-market, and global companies split across the U.S., Europe (France, Germany, and U.K.), and Asia-Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan).
