It is intended to describe fundamental survey components to help both students and managers understand and use surveys effectively and avoid the pitfalls stemming from bad survey construction and inappropriate methods. We begin by talking about how best to identify the information needed and the best approach to get that information. We then discuss the processes commonly involved in conducting a survey including the value of both obtaining a representative sample and dealing with the types of errors that can distort results. Next, each chapter focuses on one of the key components of constructing and carrying out a survey, including the elements to consider when developing a survey, the modes of survey delivery, writing good questions, conducting the survey, and presenting the results. Each chapter concludes with a summary of important points contained in the chapter and an annotated set of references indicating where readers can go for more information on chapter topics. 000841682 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on February 21, 2015). 000841682 650_0 $$aSocial surveys. 000841682 653__ $$aethical issues 000841682 653__ $$ainternet surveys 000841682 653__ $$ainterviewer training 000841682 653__ $$amailed surveys 000841682 653__ $$amixed-mode surveys 000841682 653__ $$asampling, survey 000841682 653__ $$asurvey construction 000841682 653__ $$atelephone surveys 000841682 653__ $$aweb surveys 000841682 7001_ $$aNelson, Edward.,$$eauthor. 000841682 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606498187 000841682 830_0 $$aQuantitative approaches to decision making collection.$$x2163-9582 000841682 852__ $$bebk 000841682 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1936760$$zOnline Access 000841682 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:841682$$pGLOBAL_SET 000841682 980__ $$aEBOOK 000841682 980__ $$aBIB 000841682 982__ $$aEbook 000841682 983__ $$aOnline
