The Research Board
Appearance
The Research Board[1] was described in 1984 by The New York Times as "a low-profile New York group composed of chief data processing executives of 50 of the nation's largest corporations." A decade later The Times described it as "a high-tech consulting firm."[2]
Although by late 2017 a Wall Street Journal writer spoke of "The Research Board" in the past tense,[3] this was just a technicality. Having been acquired by Gartner in 1998,[4] it is sometimes referred to as The Gartner Research Board or The Research Board Gartner.[5]
