Recent Trends in M&S Globalization
With increasing globalization, companies are leveraging emerging locations for R&D and support functions such as F&A and HR. However with rising pressures to drive top line growth, companies are now offshoring M&S activities to emerging destinations to tap the domestic and regional markets.
Processes that are most matured for global sourcing are
- Market Research
- Competitive Analysis
- Data Mining & Analysis
- Customer Profiling
- Licensing & Cross/Up-Selling
- Web Based Interactive Solutions

Zinnov to soon launch 2010 M&S Benchmarking Study
Zinnov is launching a comprehensive 2010 M&S survey to address the following needs:
- Process level benchmarking: The need to understand how peer group companies are performing across metrics and various M&S processes, since this is becoming critically important as companies continue to look for cost savings.
- Lack of Disciplined Methodology: Many benchmarking studies usually lack the correct granular level of information and aggregate too much resulting in poor decision making. Our fruitful methodology is an answer to that.
- Comprehensive Taxonomy: Our framework and quantitative modeling is yet another powerful tool through which you will not only get analysis by location, by process, by metrics but also by engagement model. Click here to sign up
