Methodology
In January, 2014, an email invitation was sent to subscribers of Logistics Management asking for their participation in this study. The email included a dedicated URL linked to a website which hosted the questionnaire.

2014 results are based on 929 qualified respondents (1,262 in 2013).

The margin of error for this study is +/- 3.3%, meaning if the entire population responded, results may vary by +/- 3.3%.

Definitions: The mean is the average of a given set of values.  The median is the mid-point in a set of values where one-half of the values are more than the mid-point, the other half are lower.
