The idea behind the report.

Media managers lack industry data to inform their decision making. Unlike in other industries, there are no consistent benchmarking intelligence services that can give senior management a sense of where they stand vis-à-vis their competitors.

This is particularly true when it comes to matters of internal organizational structure or HR practices that strongly impact a company’s performance and yet often remain below-the-radar during strategic planning.

The idea of this report is to solve this issue and provide participants with in-depth analysis and benchmarking in such areas as organizational structure, HR practices, working conditions, performance evaluation and compensation, that media managers can use to increase their operational effectiveness and position themselves in a competitive landscape.
