Hi,
I am a student studying at Southampton Institute in the UK. I am studying my
final year of a BSc Business Information Technology degree. For my final
year project I have chosen the subjects of Intranets.
My Four hypotheses for the project are:
-Intranets improve communication between peers
-Intranets improve corporate communication
-Intranets can increase the problem of Information Overload
-Intranets are an effective tool for training and development
I am at the stage where I have to produce a pilot questionnaire as
background research. The problem is I have to produce the results on
Thursday in a formal presentation, (Yes I know It’s cutting it fine) but I
have been let down by other sources. Hopefully then from this qualitative
information I will be in the position to produce a survey consisting of
quantitative questions for the final project.
Please, Please, Please can you HELP by answering as many questions as you
can as this would help me out a great deal. Any related information and help
with the pilot study would be very much appreciated!
I look forward to your replies Marc Watts
