Consumer products is a steadily growing industry, currently achieving annual revenues of $2 trillion. But it has faced tough challenges in recent years. Like executives in other traditional sectors, the Internet boom forced CEOs of CG&R companies to take a look at how they do business. Specifically, they have had to address the issues of globalization, lowering margins, manufacturing problems, smarter consumers, increased efficiency in marketing, and tighter financial controls - all while continuing to increase shareholder value.

The CG&R Report is a resource to help executive decision makers realize their organizations' full potential and to discover new and innovative ways to drive performance, connectivity, visibility, accountability and control. The publication goes to a unique audience of executives within the Global 2000 brands who are leading the revolution of Consumer Goods.

Montgomery Research gathered the research from leading industry analysts, experts and vendors in order to address all pertinent topic areas for consumer packaged goods - from outsourcing to communications to marketing. The report provides information and ideas on how to successfully enable efficiency and excellence throughout a company's extended enterprises.

40,000 copies of The CG&R Report were distributed internationally to global leaders in consumer packaged goods. Our established readership consists of executives (CEO, CIO, CFO, COO, and HR) who are committed to best practices and to establishing continuous advances within their organizations.

This report is building a collaborative community in which vendors evangelize their products and services in concert with leading analysts and experts. Together, they seek to educate readers in a way that assures the information is understood, embraced, and utilized.
