Tooltips

Hover over an individual data point to reveal a tooltip with explanatory details for that data point.

By clicking on the data point, you can reveal tools that will isolate or exclude data.

Data Customization

Use the dropdown menus next to each chart to discover the information most relevant to you.

“View Results By” allows you to sort your data by different categories such as industry, region, B2B vs B2C, organization age or organization size.

“Filter Results By” options allow you to filter the data by region or industry.

Sorting the Data

Once you've customized the data, you can re-sort the data by clicking on on the x-axis to reveal the sort tools.

Sort ascending: Sorts smallest to largest percentage.

Sort descending: Sorts largest to smallest percentage.

Saving Your Customized Visualizations

After you've applied filters and other customizations to an interactive chart, you can share a customized view of the data as an image (png) or a PDF file.

Use the toolbar at the bottom of the chart to select the format in which to download your customized data.*

Share or Embed the Interactive Chart

There are options for linking to your Facebook and Twitter, and for embedding it into your own website.

About the Data

In the fall of 2014, MIT Sloan Management Review, in collaboration with Deloitte, conducted a survey of more than 4,800 business executives, managers and analysts from organizations around the world. The survey captured insights from individuals in 129 countries and 27 industries and involved organizations of various sizes. The sample was drawn from a number of sources, including MIT alumni, MIT SMR subscribers, Deloitte Dbrief webcast subscribers and other interested parties.
