Common Sense Advisory, an independent research and consulting firm, announces the release of its fourth-quarter Global Business Confidence Surveyâ„¢ results for the translation services industry. The surveys polled buyers and suppliers of language services and technology about their current business situation, plans, and expectations for the near future.

The supply-side report, “Global Business Confidence Survey: Supplier Q4-2004,” is the third in a series of quarterly polls into the attitude and plans of language service and technology providers. It compares the results of all three surveys to chart changes in business confidence over the last nine months. Common Sense Advisory has begun to cross-tabulate its results with those of the U.S. Department of Commerce and other national and international agencies reporting on the general economy.

The buy-side report, “Global Business Confidence Survey: Buyer Q4-2004,” is the first in a series of parallel reports on the corporate and government demand for language services.

As with its supply-side research, Common Sense Advisory will conduct this survey every quarter, compare results, and comment on the changing attitudes.
