Ben Page introduces July’s edition of Ipsos Update with his reflections on the mounting public concern about inflation and the consequences of this for consumer spending. Alongside updates on how people around the world are reacting to cost-of-living pressures, this month’s articles focus on topics which include the demographics and psychographics of Pakistan, and the changing global attitudes towards refugees. We also take a look at the latest Ipsos Views papers on the growth of commerce ecosystems, achieving intimate consumer connections in large communities, and the use of AI to predict future innovation success.

Young South African adults do very well when it comes to being able to understand different languages, especially English that is seen as a lingua franca among them – no doubt fuelled by the important role played by English in using either a mobile phone or the internet.
Inflation is a recurring theme in the articles featured this month. Other topics include the future of food, the role of cycling and how EU citizens view the EU’s response to war in Ukraine. We also feature our latest Ipsos Views on AI-enabled Consumer Intelligence and tech-enabled product innovations.
Corporate Reputation is influenced strongly by the CSR activities of a company. CSR activities can build trust, and trust is one of the main pillars of the reputation of any business.
