It's a question that many decision-makers constantly ask themselves. As a sort of benchmark to compare what other organizations are doing or how they're thinking about these issues, GE has conducted its first "GE Global Innovation Barometer" which it released at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, based on a survey of 1,000 business executives across 12 countries. The barometer is intended to analyze executives' perceptions around innovation challenges as well as insights on drivers and deterrents to innovation.
