IR Magazine Awards - Greater China 2014 were identified solely by means of an independent survey of investors and analysts, all of whom are located in the region. More than 400 members of the Asian investment community either completed an online survey or spoke to researchers from Mary Maude Research in London, who undertook a telephone survey. The purpose of this was both to ascertain which companies and individuals are providing the best investor relations service and to discover their levels of satisfaction with the standard of investor relations more generally.
