Integrated Transformation is an Economist Intelligence Unit report, sponsored by Salesforce. In this paper, The Economist Intelligence Unit explores how companies are adapting to evolving customer expectations and preferences, and how this has affected operations, business processes, decision-making and business models. 

To explore these shifts, The Economist Intelligence Unit surveyed 550 senior executives from North America (the US and Canada), Europe (France, Germany and the UK), Asia-Pacific (Australia, China, India, Japan and New Zealand) and Latin America (Brazil and Mexico), across a range of industries, business functions and company sizes in March 2019. Half of the respondents were C-suite executives, while the rest were director level. Download our report to learn more.
