Beresford Research’s work for Booz & Company has included over a dozen intellectual capital projects that have helped position the firm as thought leaders in a variety of fields. The most prominent study is the annual study of succession among the CEOs of the world’s largest public companies, now in its eighth year. <br /> <br /> Booz & Company asked Beresford Research to develop the methodology for a study of CEO succession in the world’s largest 2,500 public companies. By combining publicly available information with shareholder returns for each executive’s tenure, adjusted for regional equity performance, Beresford Research has created a database of over 2,000 successions back to 1995.<br /> <br /> Each spring, when the results of the previous year’s CEO turnover events are published, Booz & Co. and its partners are featured in news stories around the globe (including <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>, <em>Financial Times</em> and <em>Le Monde</em>). Throughout the intervening months, Booz & Co. is cited in multiple press stories as the source of CEO succession trends data and quoted regarding the reasons for the latest trends. Additionally, Booz & Co. has developed a CEO leadership practice built, in part, on the findings of this annual landmark study.<br /> </p> </div> <div id="colTwoContent"> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Other projects for Booz & Company include:</p> <ul> <li class="text">An international study on senior executives about the relative importance of corporate values and the role corporate values play in formulating risk agendas, implementing risk management systems and enhancing enterprise resilience.</li> <li class="text">A global study to investigate the attitudes of chief financial officers of the world’s largest companies about the management of G&A functions, and to uncover whether the companies that are using new approaches to the management of these functions are achieving better results than others. </li> <li class="text">A nationwide study to learn to what extent IT decision makers use third-party IT market research firms in order to source IT strategy.</li> <li><span class="text">A study of the correlation between research and development spending and innovation among the world's largest companies.</span><br /> <br /> </li> </ul> <p class="sub_bold"> Click on any title below to view a PDF of the original publication:</p> <p class="pub"><strong><a href="pdfdocuments/deriving_value_from_corp_values.pdf" target="_blank" class="pub"><br /> Deriving Value from Corporate Values</a></strong><img src="assets/images/spacer.gif" width="6" height="8" /></p> <p class="pub"><strong>CEO Succession Series</strong></p> <ul> <li class="pub_first"><a href="pdfdocuments/why_ceos_fall.pdf" target="_blank" >2001 - Why CEOs Fall</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2002.pdf" target="_blank">2002 - Deliver or Depart</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2003.pdf" target="_blank">2003 - The Perils of "Good" Governance</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2004.pdf" target="_blank">2004 - The World’s Most Prominent <br />            Temp Workers</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2005.pdf" target="_blank">2005 - The Crest of the Wave</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2006.pdf" target="_blank">2006 - The Era of the Inclusive Leader</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2007.pdf" target="_blank">2007 - The Performance Paradox</a></li> <li class="pub"><a href="pdfdocuments/ceo_succession_2008.pdf" target="_blank">2008 - Stability in the Storm</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="colThreeNav"> <ul class="menu"> <li><a href="br_1set_home.html" target="_parent" class="main_menu">Home</a> </li> <li><a href="br_2set_work.html" target="_parent" class="main_menu">About our work</a> </li> <li><a href="br_3.0set_projects.html" target="_parent" class="main_menu">About our projects</a></li> <ul> <li class="menu_off">Booz & Company</li> <li><a href="br_3.2set_colorado.html" target="_parent">Colorado Tourism Office</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.3set_ibm.html" target="_parent">IBM</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.4set_intltour.html" target="_parent">International Tour Operator</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.5set_autoclub.html" target="_parent">National Auto Club</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.6set_neca.html" target="_parent">National Emphysema<br /> /COPD Association</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.10set_nydot.html" target="_parent">NYC Department of Transportation</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.7set_ortho_mcneil.html" target="_parent">Ortho McNeil Pharmaceutical</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.8set_phocuswright.html" target="_parent">PhoCusWright</a></li> <li><a href="br_3.9set_towers_perrin.html" target="_parent">Towers Watson</a></li> </ul> <li><a href="br_4set_aboutus.html" target="_parent" class="main_menu">About us</a></li> <li><a href="br_5set_contact.html" target="_parent" class="main_menu">Contact us</a></li> </ul>  <div id="clear"></div>  </div> </body>
