Hi Cindy,

Have a look at www.surveymonkey.com .  This tool allows you to ask up to 10 questions for free and provides a good collation of the results at the end.

Next you need to consider:

1.       What is the aim of your survey

2.       The most relevant questions to elicit meaningful answers (a combination of open and closed questions ie yes/no responses vs free text comments)

3.       Test the survey on some fellow students/colleagues

4.       Who do you want to survey, how many, what is an acceptable response rate

5.       Prepare a good introductory email with your survey and distribute with a closing date

Often it is useful to the participants if you distribute your findings and final paper.  This provides a bit of an incentive to be involved.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Chris

Subject: [qkm] How to do an online survey in KM

Hello everybody,

I have just joint this mailing list of QKM discussion forum. As an international student, I am pursuing the DBA program at SCU, Australia. My topic is in the area of KM and Competitive Advantage and I am thinking of the possiblity to do an online survey for my data collection. My key informants should be senior executives at organisations with a sample of about 300 usable responses.

If anyone of you has suggestions of how to do such an online survey, please share with me. Thank you so much for your attention.

Best regards,

Cindy
