The Economic and Social Research Council, the Kauffman Foundation and the Alfred Sloan Foundation have given financial support. We received no funding from the global management consultancy firm (McKinsey) we worked with in developing the survey tool. Our partnership with Pedro Castro, Stephen Dorgan and John Dowdy has been particularly important in the development of the project. We are grateful to Daniela Scur and Renata Lemos for excellent research assistance.
