Inc. Magazine Unveils Exclusive List of The MSR Group Ranks No. 3608 on the 2009 Inc. 5000
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Omaha, Nebraska August 14, 2009 – Inc. magazine has ranked The MSR Group number 3608 on its third annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. “Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate,” said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan. “That’s why our list is so eagerly anticipated every year.” Company growth has in large part been driven by the development of the APECS® (Achieving Peak Expectations in Customer Service) program, which is currently being used by some of the largest banks in the world. Originally developed for the financial industry, The MSR Group is fueling continued growth through its focus on applying the value of APECS® to other industries, specifically grocery, health care and franchise organizations. In addition to quantitative research programs, The MSR Group is a powerhouse in the qualitative research field, having been rated one of the world’s top focus group facilities in the annual Impulse Survey over the past four years. The Impulse Survey is published annually by Impulse Research Corporation of Los Angeles. It contains quality ratings of focus group discussion and viewing facilities, based on a survey of over 5,000 moderators and researchers worldwide. The 2009 Inc. 5000, unveiled this week on Inc.com, serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on the economy. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on Inc.com. The MSR Group is a nationally recognized full-service market research company. It has been rated one of the world’s top focus group facilities by an international survey of focus group moderators. In addition to providing unprecedented qualitative research, The MSR Group offers a wide range of quantitative methodologies, including the award winning APECS® Performance Monitor, a proven system to measure customer satisfaction and advocacy.
