2011 Global CEO Survey

In 2011, CEOs face a global business environment still recovering from the worst economic crisis in 75 years. It’s true that the depths of the crisis are behind us and stability has returned to most of the world. But most major economies are still grappling with the aftermath of the recession and sustainable economic growth is far from certain.

In the 14th Annual Global CEO Survey, we set out to uncover how CEOs are approaching growth in the post-crisis business environment.

We surveyed 1,201 business leaders in 69 countries around the globe, in the last quarter of 2010, and conducted further in-depth interviews with 31 CEOs. We found a surprising renewal of optimism: Chief executives were nearly as confident of growth this coming year as in the boom years before the crisis.
