Determine the R&D Activities, Engineer Employment Levels and Facilities Locations of the Top Technology Companies

Plunkett Research conducted an extensive study for a leading communications equipment company.  We had only 10 days to complete this complex study across the entire US.  The objective was to enable the client’s C-Level executives to quickly accurately develop a strategic plan regarding hiring, investment in R&D facilities, and location of R&D facilities.

Synthesis & Recommendations

  • We completed the project on-time and on-budget.
