Business tendency survey of the manufacturing industry

The KOF business tendency survey of the manufacturing industry is a monthly poll of Swiss industrial companies from a wide range of industrial sectors that participate voluntarily. Additional questions are asked every quarter. The questionnaires mainly consist of assessments (qualitative questions) of the most recent, present and future business activities.

The individualised results that all participating companies receive each month enable a comparison to be made with other sectors. This report provides succinct information on the current results of the survey. Respondents also receive a quarterly detailed report with a commentary on the results.

The questionnaire can be answered online at https://surveyweb.kof.ethz.ch. You will need a user code and personal password which we will sent to you after registration.

You can test the online survey without obligation. Alternatively, you can also participate via paper questionnaires. During registration you can select your preferred medium, changes are possible at any time.
