The research behind this article, conducted in 2018-2019, included companies in seven industries from Australia, China, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the U.K., and the U.S.

The authors held in-depth interviews with executives in 30 large corporations across industries and countries to obtain a granular understanding of innovation practices and systems.

They then structured and, through Phronesis Partners, administered a survey to quantify innovation practices and systems, polling innovation leaders at 320 large corporations with revenues of more than $500 million a year and gathering data on 640 innovation projects.
