GlobeScanㆍEAIㆍMaeil Business Newspaper GIM 2005 Questionnaire

EAI conducts the GIM (Global Issue Monitor) survey, which asks about global public opinion on global issues, and the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility Monitor) survey, which analyzes perceptions of corporate social responsibility. These surveys are conducted in collaboration with the international polling organization GlobeScan. A total of 23 countries* participate in the GIM, and 21 countries** participate in the CSR.

The GIM primarily analyzes global public opinion on pressing global challenges, global citizens' anxieties and dissatisfactions, reform proposals for the UN and the formation of a world government, reputations of major countries, and reactions to President Bush's re-election. The CSR aims to track global perceptions of corporate social responsibility, specifically corporate social governance, and the universality and particularity of national perceptions. The goal is to contribute to elevating corporate social governance, which is currently at a nascent stage, to an international standard.

* 23 participating countries: A total of 21,713 individuals participated in the survey from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Great Britain, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Republic of South Africa, Russia, South Africa, Korea, Turkey, and the United States.
